    Well done on winning!

    I too think that competition is fixed though, some of the winning pictures are just rubbish.

    I won too. Mega fight to win but pride took over in the end, I was blowed if I was gonna let all those constantly marking me down win in the end. Now got hand that hurts from all the clicking over the last two days and all over some vimto. (Thank fully DS loves the stuff).

    For anyone entering next month, enter late so you don't have the fight against all those others marking you down, and yes you can vote as many times as you want, just close your browser each time. You can win without voting others down. It's quicker just to vote yourself up and then close and revote than to waste your energy on voting the others down. You can do ten votes for yourself or nine minus votes for others and one for yourself, in the same amount of time.

    Yes the voting system is incredibly flawed and uses temp cookies to track your vote. What they should have done was had any entrants or voters set up an account and that account only being able to place 1 vote per day, per picture. That would have cut out on the need for everyone to vote themselves up as quickly as possible to keep up with everyone else and we probably would have ended up with different results.

    For the record, I only voted myself up and ones I didn't like down. I voted for those of you I saw on this site a few times too to try and get your averages up.

    Mine is FruityBooty. The overweight naked man chewing up the Vimto fruits. I agree Liam, some of the winners are rubbish (esp the one with 8/10 - fruit on dog tongue, really?!). I actually followed the brief and made some effort with mine (used photoshop and everything). Such a shame the voting system is how it is.

    You can enter again, so as mentioned above, enter towards the end to avoid loads of 1* votes. I certainly wish I hadn't got into a clicking war so early on :) It's also much quicker to just empty your cache/cookies in Firefox (tools menu) and return back to comp voting form than it is to close and reopen the browser as mentioned above. :money:

    If you can be bothered of course...

    Cheers all.
