I was so pissed when I saw the lame photos submitted by the winners. As Chris said, those votes came from being well connected on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Before the contest ended, I looked at the vote counts of the best looking and most worthy entrants and they had nowhere near the vote counts of the winners.
As a consolation prize I got a coupon for 20% off. Wow, I am overwhelmed... not.
That was the winner?? Must have had everyone he/she knows vote. A horrible pic too. Trying to be artistic, way over cooked HDR, poor lighting, etc. Weak sauce...
