  • One vote per person. If there is evidence of multiple voting, or any other attempt to fraudulently fix the voting, the votes in question will be discounted.
  • Requesting family and friends to vote is acceptable providing they actually view the entries and make an unbiased judgement.
  • Voting ends at midnight (GMT) on 28th February 2002.
  • The right is retained to extend the voting period should it be deemed that insufficient votes have been cast to fairly decide the competition.
  • The right is reserved to abandon the voting process if it is deemed, by the editor, not to be working.
  • The editor's decision is final.
  • The editor is biased, so you'd better make sure the voting process works.
