Same, most of the finalists aren't that original either. Not sure why they were voted.

This is a quote from the competition announcement "The competition will end on Friday 24 January 2014, and standard competition rules apply." and this is a quote from the standard competition rules "The winners will be selected using a random selection from correct entries"

I was also under the impression that it was a random draw to see who wins. In other words, take all the names of people who correctly posted a link and then do a random draw. Sounds quite simple. This voting thing is BS and it was not conveyed to people beforehand. You can't just make up rules as you go along... And like stated, it is really unfair because what stops a person then from creating 100 email accounts and registering his 100 profiles and voting for his own post? And if not that, lets pick the most popular person.. Very unfair.

True, also, only ppl with post count of >100 should be allowed to enter.Will discourage the clones.

You do realise how fast the forum will be spammed for guys to get to 100+ post count? That's not a viable option.
