Well I can give at least one reason why not being allowed to vote for yourself
might be counter productive. For example say there are 5 entrants in a
catagory and I feel the following.
1. My entry (can't vote for me)
2. Really cool layout I love this one.
3. Another really cool layout I like almost as much as #2.
4. This doesn't looks so good to me.
5. Maybe an OK layout but the pictures are really bad.
Who do you think I will vote for?
If I were honest I would vote for #2 but I really want to win this so why
should I vote for someone in direct competition with me? Therefore to reduce
the impact on my chances I will vote for #4 because I like them the least.
Now before you bite my head off I am speaking hypothetically. Now because
there are no real prizes I would probably be honest but say this was for $1,000
spending spree at S@H... Bet you buttons I would vote for the entrant that I
think has the least chance of giving me competition.
Just my $.02
