I’ll be completely transparent. For the first outting of the competition I thought it was important to generate as much awareness as possible. Repeat voting may or may not have helped that, but it was my hope that it would help. Next year we’ll go with a more traditional polling system of one vote per person (well, actually per IP address). Thanks for participating… maybe next year a submission?

Some guys must be suffering RSI right now by mouse clicking too many times the last two weeks.
It was fun to join, Pete, every initiative involving photography and vintage figures is just great.
Congrats to the winner!

I’ll definitely consider it. I’m not as active with my own posts these days so the outside contributions is convenient.
