Im totally biased to yorkies of course,
so Im not sure having me and my staff chose the winner is very fair either, lol. PLus a lot of people enjoy being able to participate by getting a chance to vote. This is only the 4th or 5th contest I have done and with each one I try to figure out how to make it better and more fair. The whole reason I started to do a TC staff favorite winner was for that very reason that sometimes the people who put the most effort into thier photo dont win and I try to look at those pictures and be fair. If I do another contest I might do only 1 winner based on votes and 3 TC winners. I havent decided but I think I like that idea even better even though Im sure I will still get people leavign me messages accusing me of rigging the contest. Some people are going to be mean no matter what so I guess I really dont want to give in to those people by not doing anymore photo contest. So I will try to figure something out that better pleases everyone
Its a constant learning experience for me
