Judging periods are a week long, simply because I know for a fact not everyone goes online every day of the week. This will hopefully give a fair chance to anyone wishing to participate in the contest.

Judging:

This contest is based on a judging system. There are technically 5 judges; 4 individuals and the 5th being the general public.* (See Below) Each "judge" will review the entries for each specific category, and vote for their favorite. These 5 choices will then be counted. The submission with the most votes will be the winner.

*A journal will be posted for each category, each week, with all the entries for that category, numbered. Contestants and the general public will then comment on that journal, stating which number they like best. These comments will then be reviewed, and the submission most liked by the public will count as the 5th vote. (So, you guys will all count as the 5th judge, basically.)

If there in some way develops a tie, then the popular vote (You guys, the 5th judge) will be the winner.

Any questions / concerns? Lemme know!
