"If you're asking about the voting for Pete's "You Don't Have to Win to Win" contest, that hasn't been opened to voting yet, I don't think? If one of the Vue images happens to win in "New Beginnings", I assume that image would be disqualified from Pete's contest"

No your right Voting for my contest opens January 15th barring any changes in the main contest. If you win the Renderosity contest somehow that's ok you can still of course and will be in this second contest unless you ask to be removed from it for some reason.

The idea here was just to get people to enter the main contest and if they win that all the better. No you will not be disqualified if you win it.... Good Luck
