Voting ends on September 20, 11:59 P.M. ET.
The way to vote:
- We are NOT, and I repeat... NOT voting for people. We are voting for entries. So, if you votes go to the same person... so be it. That's why the more you entered, the better chance you have winning this thing.
- YES, entrants can vote, but
they can't vote for their own entries. This is to encourage fair play.
- HERE is how: there's a post # associated with each entry (#1, #2, etc.) Choose 5 entries that you think are the best of the best, and send the 5 NUMBERS (only) to maestrowork (at) gmail (dot) com.
Please do not send names.
- ONE vote per person (with the five numbers in each vote). If you send me more than one vote, I will discard ALL your votes.
- PLEASE include your screen name in your email. Only registered AW members can vote. (So don't call all your friends and relatives to vote for you, unless they happen to be an AWer)
At the conclusion of the voting period (some time on September 21), I will tally the votes.
Two ways to determine the finalists:
1. The entries that receive the most votes -- the contestants who wrote them would go on to the second ground; or
2. In the case the entries only receive one vote each, the contestants who get the most votes (cumulatively) would go on to the next ground.
In the case of a tie (or ties) for #5 slot:
- if the tied entries belong to the same person, it will count as one. The next person with the most votes will advance to the second ground
- if the tied entries belong to two different people, and a quick "sudden death" vote will determine #5 (watch this space for announcement)
- if more than 5 entries receive the highest votes, a quick "sudden death" vote will determine the final 5.
VOTE NOW!
