OK, here are the details...
This is a "point-based" system, so you earn points by submitting entries and
spend points by voting. Voting begins after the deadline for new entries has
passed. Voting ends when the last entrant has completed voting or when seven
days have passed (whichever occurs sooner). The contest's entrants and the
contest's organizer are the only ones who may vote.
Each contest entry you submit earns you 3 points (votes), all of which you
must spend (or your entry is automatically disqualified). Points must be
spent as whole numbers. The entry with the most points within a category
wins that category. The entry with most points overall wins "grand prize"
status. In the event of a tie, two or more entries may share first-place
status.
Now, there are strategic restrictions on how and where points may be spent:
First, you can only spend points (vote) on other people's entries -- never
on your own entries.
Second, for each set of three points you earn from an entry in category X,
one point must go _in_ category X, one point must go _outside_ category X,
and one point can go in any category. You get to pick which of the other
categories.
Finally, the contest organizer (that's me) is granted and required to spend
exactly 1 point in each category -- but isn't allowed to submit entries.

p.s. More details about submission of votes later -- it will probably be
something non-automated, where you send an email (or you could post publicly
if you wanted), and I'll tally the votes by hand. I'll need a disinterested
third-party volunteer (a non-entrant) to audit the vote accounting.
