HOW THE CONTEST IS RUN AND HOW THE WINNER WILL BE CHOSEN:

Entries and voting will be ongoing beginning on the July 1st and closing on July 15th. On the 15th the four finalists will be announced and their information will be sent to the judges. Zanphoria Gallery owners will not be judging. We have a panel of 5 judges (people in the modeling, fashion, and publishing industries) who will decide the winner. The names of the judges are not released to the contestants. The 4 finalists will be asked to submit a notecard with additional photos. PLEASE NOTE, it is possible that the model among those 4 with the most votes might not be judged the final winner. The voting board will determine the 4 finalists only - the winner will be chosen by the judges.

We realize that sometimes the “voting” contest can be little more than popularity contests, however it is effective and the preferred method. We also believe it shows enthusiasm to encourage your friends and associates to support your modeling by giving you their vote. But we do try to balance that out a bit by using judging to determine the final winner. Do you need to be competitive with getting votes? Yes, of course you do, that is the very nature of a COMPETITION.

A FEW RULES
1. Voters will be allowed to cast two votes per day - and ONLY ONE PER DAY PER MODEL. CONTESTANTS MAY CAST A VOTE FOR THEMSELVES ONCE PER DAY.
2. Any votes cast by someone under 30 days old will be removed. This is not up for negotiation. If you have ton of friends who all happen to be new residents, I’m sorry. This is an ABSOLUTE necessity to discourage people from creating a ton of alts and to discourage the abuse of new residents in conning them to come and vote.
3. Accusing someone of cheating is an egregious thing. Do this ONLY if you have absolute proof.
4. If we discover you have paid anyone for votes, you will be disqualified.
5. ANY attempts to manipulate the board DONE BY YOURSELF OR ON YOUR BEHALF will result in disqualification. Please tell your friends to NOT risk disqualifying you.
6. If you were in our first contest, PLEASE take a new LM. The contest will NOT be held in the same spot and the third level of the Gallery is now closed and locked to the public.
7. I understand it is hard to juggle groups. You are not required to stay in the Zanphoria Group but you will not receive Contest notices unless you are. It is just too difficult to go searching for every contestant if a notice needs to be sent out.
8. Zanphoria reserves the right to postpone or cancel the contest at any time if a need presents itself.

GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!
