so when does the contest and the voting stop?

They're unclear. They say that you can't enter after next week... then they say that if you enter after next week, you have to pay a $10 fee. I read that the voting ends in mid-September, and the results are announced in October. The fan favorites will be obvious, but these are being voted on by judges too.

You're up to 175 votes.

I'm bumping this, as I'm neck and neck for the lead - 2 minutes ago I was down by a few votes and now I'm up by 1. If you haven't yet voted, or if you have another email address (not sure if cookies need to be cleared), I still need more votes. It's unclear when the contest ends, but I think it's within a week or two. Thanks! http://www.billboardphotocontest.com/bin/Rate?image_id=1008100395

Last ditch effort for a few more votes. I had a huge lead and with less than an hour left in the contest I'm up by only 4 votes. If you haven't voted yet, please help me out - this contest means a lot to me. It's not a cash prize, but winning would give me serious street cred and enable me to shoot more bands which is what I love doing. Thanks!

Rich...just voted again, your up 312 to 310, owe it to you for the great desktop background pic!

Thanks. Either the contest didn't end when it was supposed to, or they'll check the logs in the morning and only count the votes before midnight PST. Thanks for your support, and please keep the votes coming. I'm only up by one or two

Well, you got 3 votes out of me. You're up to 318.

Thanks. They just extended the contest to 9/18. What kind of race keeps moving the finish line?!?!

the kind that either wants more hits on their website, wants more email addresses in their for sale spam list, or wants a different person to win. My vote is for option A and B.

Yeah, there's a $15 entry fee per entry and the number of entries jumped form 400 or so to 1100 in the last few days. All about the $$. Of course, there's no cash prize for the person who gets the most votes :confused:

Just an update - they extended the deadline from 9/18 to early Saturday morning. I've got a huge lead - 66 votes - thanks to a bunch of you guys. I just wanted to thank you again, and thanks in advance if you haven't yet voted but decide to before Saturday morning.
