Someone on AgTalk just posted these guidelines on how the contest is scored--it's not all votes but that is a part of it. Surely they won't pick the gay pride car!!!
He is in the top ten. Reading the rules for the top ten it doesn't just go by votes. This is no reason for not voting after he gets in the top ten. But if he doesn't get the top votes in the second round he may still win(they sure won't pick the gay rights car if they no whats good for them) votes count for 20% of your total judging score. He is some of the rules for the top ten.
Between April 16, 2010 and April 22, 2010, qualified judges selected by Sponsor in its sole discretion, will review and judge the ten (10) finalists according to the following criteria:
1.Originality of the Design when compared to other Designs (20%);
2.Feasibility of the Design to be applied to a two-seater NASCAR show car (20%);
3.Creativity demonstrated by the application of user-uploaded images and/or pre-loaded Sponsafier graphics to the Design to the Design (20%);
4.Number of votes received via the process set forth in Section 6(a)(ii), above (20%);
5.Ability of the Design to inspire consumers (20%).
The finalist whose design the judges deemed best according to these aforementioned criteria will be the potential Contest Grand Prize winner. In the event of a tie for the Contest Grand Prize, the qualified judges, in their sole discretion, will select the potential finalist or Contest Grand Prize winner from among the tied entrants based on the entrant who received the highest score in the "feasibility" category. In the event of a further tie, the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will select the potential winner of the applicable prize from the tied entrants based on the entrant who received the highest score in the "creativity" category
Keep it up!!!
