Subject:      SUB: CONTEST: Final Entries and Voting Rules

Some of you seem cornfused, so I am reposting the final list of
submissions to the contest and voting rules.  If you have questions,
please ask me.

Phanny

The contest is now closed to further entries.  Voting will be June 25
through midnight July 8.  Results will be announced on Wednesday, July 9.
Each entrant *must* vote in *each* category he/she entered, but may vote
in all other categories, too.  Entrants voting in entered categories will
have *two* votes; the first one *must* be given to yourself, the second
one to your other top choice.  All others voting, and entrants voting in
non-entered categories will have only one vote in each category.  If an
entrant does *not* vote in a category he entered, he will automatically
lose one vote.  Voting is always very close, making every vote count.
Anitra will help me verify voting results, so I will be forwarding all
votes to her.

In the limerick category, please take into consideration the standard
limerick form, allowing for slight variations.  I will repost limerick
rules in a separate post.  This is an exercise in learning to write the
standard, but as we discussed, slight variations are so common, you should
not take off points for those.  Anything beyond slight variations of the
standard is not meeting contest criteria and should be taken into
consideration.

Please send votes to me privately.  I will acknowledge all, so you know I
received them.
