First Round of Judging: All entries received before and on the day of the deadline will be showcased in a separate thread with a poll attached, and the citizenry of Flamebate given 3 days to vote.

ø This also implies that contestants themselves are similarly barred from voting.

Umm… There’s no way to police that.

I suggest you ditch the poll, and have people post their choice of winner. Tubs or I (I’ll be honest) can verify that no alts vote, but you’ll have to allow time for that processing since we’ll have to check every poster.
