Dove Contest - Take 1 (Need Feedback ASAP!!)

Hmm, after doing some judging, I got curious about the judging rules.

Quote:

Judging Requirements:
The judging criteria for the First Round of judging to determine the five (5) Finalists are as follows:

Originality and Creativity - 30%
Adherence to Creative Assignment - 40%
Overall Appeal - 30%

The judging criteria for the Second Round of judging to determine the two (2) Grand Prize winners are as follows:

Originality and Creativity - 30%
Adherence to Creative Assignment - 40%
Overall Appeal - 20%
Popular Consumer Online Vote - 10%

Consumers will be able to vote on each of the five (5) Submissions by logging on to www.dovecreamoil.com and following the posted instructions. Votes will be limited to one per day per person and/or e-mail address during the duration of the Contest Entry Period.

So all the voting now doesn't matter. They do not consult the online voting to decide the 5 finalists. It's only if it gets to the finals that our votes count, and even then, it's only 10% of the score.

Even so, I'm going to vote down and up just to help keep DP's on the "highest rated" page.

Does anyone know why SO MANY of these use the same crappy font? Is it some sort of default for a particular piece of video editing software?

And I can't f'n believe that I've seen multiple question marks, the word "luxury" misspelled, and even a text smiley in these entries. Shockingly bad.
