Hmmm democracy... I wonder how an election for the leader of a country would
go if the results were tabulated in real-time. Only the party faithful would
vote early. Add to that the ability to change your vote and I think you
could start a civil war on polling day.

I personally believe that personal preference (especially on what could be
considered art) should not be influenced by peer pressure or it causes
prejudice to some degree.

I'm really not married to it as I believe in this case, the best design will
win either way, and I'm not going to get a tax rise depending on the result!

My only real concern is the embarrassment factor for a designer that gets 0
votes. Maybe we compromise and only give the current top 5 candidates?

I haven't built the system yet and I'm happy to go with what everyone else
thinks, secret ballot or show the current voting tally beside each
submission?
