I like both methods, myself. Wait, I just typed out a comment and then deleted it, because I don't know the answer......how is it tallied when the voting is done the other way? Does a vote for 1st place get 5 pts 2nd 4 points, 3rd 3 points (the point numbers are just examples) and then each icon/banner gets their total added up and the highest 4 are the winners? Or is it just a separate vote for each one? I hope it's the former, the latter seems like the results might be somewhat inaccurate.

I like that we can see which banner is winning, since it's anonymous, and only the winners get named, it's not embarassing if you don't get a lot of votes, but you also know if you *did* get any votes. I didn't make a banner this time, the new deadline made me forget, but way back in the first two contests for Sorted Challenge that I participated in I made icons and I could see how well (or bad, as the case was) that I was doing. I have a morbid curiousity to see if I got any votes on my other crappy non winning entries, so yeah, this was nonsensical and long winded. Whoops. ;o) Erm, can't wait for the next challenge? Isn't voting for this over, anyway?

Yup, First Choice votes get 3 points, Second Choice votes get 2 points, and Third Choice votes get 1 point. The points are then added up, and the graphic with the highest number of points wins.

I personally prefer the other way myself, because there's no way you can see the results before the votes are tallied, and I don't want people to feel discouraged if they see that they are receiving less votes than the others. And results for this week is late, because I had camp from the 9th to the 12th. I asked Emily to help me get them up, but it seems that she was too busy.

There's a possibility that Challenge #13 might be pushed to next week, because there would be too little time for you guys to submit your entries if we post it now. ):
