Or people can't create more than two accounts per month(checking IP).
there are isps which use the same external ip for large groups of their users (mine for example). so this restriction probably wouldn't be that great for some people.

To be On the record, I have already stated my favourite and voted for it. As far as IP is concerned, then my IP is generated dynamically every login. The contest should have some veto powers too for George and JCL team, as only the choice from user's is going to be biased and riggable.

Quoting George. Quote:
The jury always makes sure that the prizes go to the best entries.
Right.
This is probably redundant but:
I suspect users sample, vote, and provide feedback mostly just for 'fun'. I think that the jury may take user votes into consideration, but it probably isn't strictly forced to do so. It seems that jury choices supercede user choices, and in that sense, user votes might be somewhat 'meaningless' when determining winners. In fact, I don't recall seeing any definitive statements from relevant parties explicitly stating that user votes have any affect on selections for winners, but that might just be an oversight on my part.
Other than jury override, there may be no easy answer to 'user forum cheating' anyway.

If its "Lite-C contest" then the code should be there. But I see that there are some demos that are using wdl code are also included in the contest. The purpose of the contest is to promote "Lite-C" and encourage its users to shift from wdl to Lite-C and learn from other peoples code examples. I think that only a few demos are fulfiling the requirements layed down for the contest correctly.
You may have a point there, but such specific purposes might take a back seat to 'marketing potential' and 'keeping the peace'.

Not quite an oversight since ultimately it's always going to be up to the Conitec-judges team anyways, eventhough it's technically 51% vs. 49% (voters). I think it's good this way, but we should really make sure that people don't cheat with voting. It's both lame and disrespectful to the other competitors. Disqualification would be a good remedy perhaps, then again I don't recall that any of the 'cheaters' have ever actually won,
Cheers
