We received a comment from an upset voter who feels there has been some cheating, and I wanted to go ahead and address that. We put the moderation up so we can check for duplicate votes/voters before they get posted to prevent that, but sometimes once we accept, it allows that person to comment again without moderation. That is what happened in the case of 5 or 6 votes from the same person, and we apologize for that.
I want everyone to be aware that while you may see duplicates that slipped passed us, don’t feel like what you see will definitely be the end result. The reason the announcement of the winner is going to be made Monday and is not just obviously known by reviewing the comment box is because we will be be meticulously going through each and every comment and deleting those that appear to be duplicates in any way. We want this to be 100% fun and fair. I know the “1 vote per person” was not stated in the contest info. I assumed everyone would figure to only vote once out of fairness, plus I knew we would be going through all of the votes at the end anyway ; )
That said, I know tomorrow is the last day for voting, so I’m sure we will be getting a slew of last minute votes–which is wonderful! I just wanted to post this bit of info before then so you can be sure to only vote once. Be fair to everyone else in the contest. Keep it honest and fun! We have been amazed at all of the votes and how the blog has 1000 or more hits a day 
Horray! We hope all of you continue to follow the blog!
Another thing people have been emailing about is to make sure the votes that we posted in another blog post comment section get counted. We will definitely make sure to include all of those Now worries!
Also, as stated in the comments awhile back, if you voted and have facebook–please click the “become a fan” link at te top of our page or click here and become a fan of ae photography. It really helps spread the word about the contest and our business, plus you will be able to see our future contests right away. The next one is in April!
Have a fun final voting day! We have weddings today and tomorrow, so please be patient if you don’t see your vote posted for a bit. It is there–we just have to accept it first. Looks like we beat 100 comments (haha) so there will be something for 4th and 5th place, as well! Thanks again to each and everyone of you who has taken place in the contest and made it so successful!
