I'm not gonna....I'm not gonna make a Facebook account for one contest, then never use it again. I really don't want a Facebook at all.

We'll be counting them at midnight PST on the 31st.
So basically, the good ones that entered first gets more votes then the other good ones that entered later?!?! That doesnt really make sense and is not fair to the other participants.Shining Raikou said:
All about speed and thought and design! Submitting mine shortly!

It's first come, first serve, kinda. The counting of likes won't be biased either way, of course, but people's enthusiasm to continually check for and like new entries may dwindle. Obviously, those that entered first would have the advantage, and I dare say possibly rightfully so. But the actual contest is being run to be as fair as possible. Otherwise, how could it not be fair?

^this
I don't like the way the contest voting system is being run, its unfair to those who want to spend time and perfect their entry as opposed to someone who just threw together a few scribbles and called it a Pokemon as early as possible. It shouldn't be when you get it done, but more how you get it done. If you look at any assignment in real life, whether it be school, work or what have you, there is always a due date, and then the papers are graded or work is evaluated. Lets say you're preparing a powerpoint for a presentation; as long as you get it done before the date, it doesn't matter, people only care if it meets or surpasses expectations.
This was probably already asked, but you can get your family members to "like" yours and not be cheating, right?
An example of something deceptive / cheating would be bribing members to vote for your entry.

There are also "pay/trade for likes" sites/ads out there. We don't want to see these methods used. Get likes in an honest way.

Posting on your Facebook page asking people to vote is fine. Family members can vote.

It's up to you if you want to post that really. Just, if it's something people have seen before it might not do as good as a new piece. Also, just upload it to tinypic or something and have the picture visible for people to click on when you post on PokeBeach's Facebook wall. (Facebook does this automatically) It takes like 2 seconds.

This is a WORLDWIDE contest.
posted mine now..
Some stuff I noticed
If I understand this right, sharing the pic and getting likes for the shared one doesn't increase the count on the actual photo on pokebeachs fb, right? So posting a link to it on your own wall won't do much unless you went and told people to like it after clicking on it.
Or is fb messing with me?
And sharing it on your wall isn't cheating, is it?
And ewww what does fb do with the quality of my png e___e

The likes have to be on our Facebook wall. You can post it once on our Facebook wall, and link to the post from there if you'd like to advertise on your wall.
