Yes, you should definitely limit the number of votes per day so people don’t get vote happy!

@ Deniz:

I agree that simplicity and a specific topic are important to making the next contest easier to enter for more people.

I will probably have allow 1 vote per day. Any thoughts?

I think simplicity is really the key– I remember being a little confused at first about the way voting was going to go, (but I think voting is actually the best way to go about it as long as it’s 1 vote per computer) and about what exactly you meant by sexy summer travel story before. Your prizes are definitely good though!

@ Erica:

I agree, I think that the longer posts are better for everyone to read. I’ll take your prize suggestions into consideration as well and will post more about them on Oct.1 for the upcoming photo contest.

Hope to see a submission from you as well!

Thanks for the feedback!

I liked the Bellagio post.

In my opinion, 50-100 words are too short. I think 200-500 is better. As for prizes, cash (via paypal), films and books are among my favorites. I think voting is a good way to determine the winner, or perhaps a mix of voting and comments.
