Just one thought on this...  I thought that you were going to decide the
catagories like "Best use of Color" and "Best Engineering".  I think that
having included these in the voting is one reason that the results page takes
so long to load.  I agree the other catagories should be determined by vote but
thest catagories could, if you chose, be determined by the contest organizer.

Now thats a pretty good idea.  I don't know how much work it would be but it
would be a good idea if it isn't to much work.  Plus it would make it easier to
minimize ballot stuffing.

(...) Of course then you'd have to be a Lugnet member to participate in any votes. But I agree it is a nifty idea. Adrian (26 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.town)
