I agree with the following: with prizes this costly, some degree of vote-swaying/rigging is inevitable, especially on a board where anyone can create multiple voting accounts easily and free of charge. Why create an environment rife with politics? To avoid such, I think such competitions are better off judged by an independent panel (or individual).

By the way, where are the semi-finalist images listed?
