First, I'd like to thank all those who took time from their schedule to do their nails and join my first nail art contest. I really do appreciate that. I'm also touched that some of you shared with me how you found out about Simply Rins my blog and how it inspired you. I enjoyed reading every story that you sent me.
I'd also like to say thanks to all my other readers who may not be nail art enthusiasts or bloggers, but continues to follow my posts. I have read all the messages you sent me and I'm glad that in some way, my blog amuses you. :)
I received a total of 31 valid entries from 24 participants! Selection of the winner will comprise of 2 stages. The first stage will be entirely up to you. Based on the results of your votes, five (5) nail art entries will enter the final stage. These 5 nail designs will then be presented to our guest judges who will determine our lucky winner. Due to the number of entries, I've decided to have 5 guest judges instead of just 3. I'll be revealing their identities and judging procedure when I post our 5 finalists.
Before presenting our lovely nail art entries, here are the voting rules:
1. You have to choose three (3) nail art designs that you think should be included in the finals. You also have to comment as to why you chose those 3 entries. These comments may appear when we present our top 5 finalists. Your choices may be in any order. I have prepared a form below to facilitate this choosing process and to make it easier to tally votes.
2. Write the name of the participant when entering your choice. In case a participant have 2 entries, please indicate first or second entry by placing (1) or (2) after the name.
Example: Rins (2)
3. One (1) point goes to every chosen entry. Points will be tallied after voting ends. The 5 nail art designs with the most number of votes will enter the finals.
4. Anyone can vote, even if you do not have a blog. Please include a valid email address in the voting form. I may send you an email for verification purposes.
5. You may blog about your entry or let your friends know through social media networks (ex. Twitter, Facebook, etc.). But you may NOT ask for votes with a promise of something in return.
6. Voting ends at 11:59pm (GMT +0800) on November 9, 2010. I'll be posting the top 5 entries the following day and will present them to our 5 guest judges.
7. Please use the comment form if you have further questions. Good luck to all our participants! :)
