1. You may only vote once a day (every 24hours), per I.P. (per computer) Even if you vote everyday the vote will not count unless it's 24 hours between each vote. For instance if you vote at 2pm on Monday then you can't vote (it won't count) until 2pm or later on Tuesday (the next day) and so on.
2. Please DO NOT enter your pet in a VE Board for votes for this contest. We do not allow the use of Vote Exchange boards or VE clubs in order to get votes in our contests. If we see it going on, your pet will be disqualified! The only reason why we do not allow VE Boards is because you only vote for who you have to, not who you want to and the contestants who aren't on VE Boards won't get a fair chance. It's your choice if you want to be on VE Boards, just do not have your pet on it for votes while they are in our contest.
(You can however email others to vote for your pet, etc. personally, but not through a voting board, please)
3. We limit 3 pet entries per owner, per contest, maximum. And only one photo of an individual pet per contest.
What else you need to know:
1.Each pet may only win 1st place once. Thier winning photo will be re-entered in our December's 'Best in Show' contest, and that pet may not enter in any other of our pet contests until the next year.
2.The winning pet's owner is allowed to enter any photos of their OTHER pets until another of their pets wins 1st place, then that winner will be re-entered in December as well, and is not allowed in any of our other contests until then also.
3.After two pets of that owner wins 1st place, the owner MAY NOT enter any other of their pets' photos in our contests until their winning pets photos compete in our 'Best in Show' contest in December.
4. Along with the 1st and 2nd place winners of each contest. Our panel of Judges will choose one deserving pet that is not in any of the first 2 places, to be our Judges pick winner. Amount of votes do not matter. Then all the judge's pick winners will compete for another win in our November's Judge's Pick Pet Photo Contest! If your pet is Judge's Pick, they can still compete in future contests but they cannot be judge's pick again.
Extra Contest Notes
(For November & December Contests)
___________________________________
Our Judge's Pick is determined on fair terms. Once a pet wins judge's pick they may still be entered in our contests but may not be judge's pick more than once.
December's Battle Of The Champions Contest will be the 1st place winners from our contest from month January to October, competing for the
Cocoa Cutie Pet Of The Year Title, Awards and Prizes.
This Pet Will be in our Hall Of Fame as The 2006 Cocoa Cutie Pet Of The Year!
___________________________________
The winning photos will be re-entered for November and December you need not send new ones.There will be no Pick of the Judges in these contests, the 1st place winner of these contests with the most public votes will be the Judge's Pick Of The Year and Cocoa Cutie Of The Year.
___________________________________
The reason only two pets per owner may win 1st place twice and not be able to enter any other of our contests until after the battle of the champions contest in December is to be totally fair to all contestants and give everyone a completely fair chance at winning this contest, so each owner has the most, only 2 chances of winning where as some may only have one.
