I removed the links. I’m really not much for drama. I just thought the collective time and effort that went into all these designs shouldn’t be undermined.

Please feel free to delete Hugo’s post and any post relating to the matter.

Ryan I meant no offense in my reply. I understand and respect your position of mediation.

The juried competition is completely separate from the flickr competition. The jurors are not taking into account any comments or votes from the blog or from the flickr page.
Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks for participating!

Ryan, if the contest is to be judged on design then it shouldn’t be won by means of networking or self-advertising. I’m pretty sure most of the contestants are aware of means to increase comments and favorites on a flickr page. I could make mine shoot up extremely fast through facebook, twitter, myspace, flickr’s IRC channel . . . etc. And well, just because you have used these tactics to get votes doesn’t exactly make it right. That kind of logic really doesn’t work.

Now I personally didn’t follow that path and my own design comments and favorites reflect that. I am hoping that the Flickr results aren’t effecting the panel’s decision. But I can see how it would be deduced that they would. I mean if I was going to use a design to promote my movie I would want to get some feedback.

I’m not going to pass any judgment on Megan’s design. This isn’t about the design sadly. I’m just looking at designs I know are equally par to Megan’s and they have received little to no attention so it seems kind of obvious something is skewed.

There’s nothing exactly ethically wrong with asking people to vote for your stuff, and since this is the internet it’s almost to be expected. I’ve done it for friends in my time, and had the favour returned. Consider it good networking.

And even though I’m personally not convinced Megan’s is the best of the bunch, the flickr vote will have nothing to do with the panel’s decision. Theoretically. So, nothing to get too anxious about.
