MEMBER'S CHOICE PHOTO CONTEST, April 16-30, '10 - VOTING THREAD

[MissMia]

This is the nomination thread for the biweekly photo contest, for pictures posted on the forum from April 16th to April 30th, 2010 inclusive. Members may nominate up to three photographs posted by others during this time period. You can’t nominate your own images. If a photograph has already been nominated, please don’t nominate it again as it will already be on the list. And if you nominate a shot posted outside of the applicable time period, it will be removed.

To nominate a photo, please add it to this thread, and include
-the thread title from where the image was originally posted;
-the name of the photograph (if there was one posted); and
-the name of the photographer

On the evening of May 3rd a voting poll will be added to this thread, so that you can see the nominated images in the same thread as you will be voting. Voting will remain open for 4 days after the poll is posted.

In the event of a contest tie, the mods/admins will be asked if they haven't yet voted. If they haven't, they must pick between the tied images to break the tie. If all the mods/admins have already voted and there is still a tie...then they will vote again amongst themselves, on only the tied images, to declare a winner. [So in a nutshell, in the event of a tie, the mods/admins will perform the tie-breaking.]

Thanks in advance for your participation (both nominating and voting)!

Wow, it's a close vote right now. Anyone else out there who hasn't voted yet....c'mon, participate!

[MissMia]

Yikes! The voting closes in roughly 12 hours. Please vote if you haven't already. :batterup:

[Antarctican]

Oy vey, a tie! Will it be broken in time? Is my vote worth a lot of money now? Stay tuned.....

[icassell]

.... hands Anty his lucky Silver Dollar for flipping ....

[Chris of Arabia]

I've tried to coax a few more votes out of those nice people on Facebook - looking at the count above, maybe I wasn't nice enough.

[MissMia]

There is less than an hour left to vote or bribe others for votes! :sexywink:

[Terri]

We ran out of time. Looks like we have an official tie! We will have the moderating team cast the tie-breaking vote.

Stay tuned!

[invisible]

Regardless of who ends up getting the final vote, congrats to both Chris and Mohain.

[Chris of Arabia]

We will have the moderating team cast the tie-breaking vote.

[Chris of Arabia]

Congrats from me too - I was somewhat surprised to get a nomination for that shot in the first place, so for it to attract so many votes just baffles me to be honest.
