    Don't worry, all the person is doing is hurting their chances of winning anything, because the votes will be spread out between 4 different entries if people vote for them.

    If they are doing the "random entry" prizes, it would also give that person an advantage in receiving one of those. Perhaps it's just something that needs to be cleared up in future contests.

    Not really, at least on the contests that I have administered.

    Having more entries doesn't make you more eligible for random contests. For the random prizes, I've just taken all the names of the painters, put them in a hat, and drew. A painter only gets his/her name in the hat once, despite the number of entries.

    However, all that said, I do think it is a bit out of the spirit of the contest to just shoehorn miniatures into a category, just to have more entries, but I'm unsure of how to curb that without penalizing someone who legitimately wants to do multiple entries.

    Suggestions are always appreciated...

    agree with the Tang, i think it will probably self correct. You can usually tell if similar entries. I dont think its a problem

    Well, what about having it be the way I thought it was? Limit people to 1 entry per category.

    In all honesty, there are still, what....5 categories? How many people submit more than 5 entries? It might get more people submitting into the less entered categories such as the diorama one if they are wanting to submit more entries.

    Ahh - hadn't realized that the random prizes are per painter, not per entry. I don't see much of a problem with it in practice, then, though it does seem strange.

    Commented on all the entries, hope to see some more comments from other folks. Now I gotta go vote again, this time on minis.

    Good luck everyone!
