Would you consider setting the voting thread up as a poll? I think a portion of forum members are more comfortable voting freely if anonymous. Also, many of us have multiple neighbors who submit entries and it does get awkward.

The counting would be instantaneous. That would make it a WHOLE lot easier for whoever runs the contest.

The remainder of the thread could be filled with posts discussing what we liked especially about different towns. E.g. I could post " Entry 7, I never knew a reindeer could do that! And Entry 11, putting the Nativity scene outside Duff Brewery really works. And Fat Tony in the hot tub really ties that whole area together."

I realize there may be limits on the number of items in a poll list. Might need to break it into two groups of entries -- but we've done that before.

But seems easier to me, and may encourage some folks to come forth and vote.

Or not. ;)

Good idea! :thumbup:

To the OP, great poem and I'll see what I can enter.:-)
