Have a look at the rules and you will see that the public voting is not part of the competition - read the rules:
Judging:
1. How will my entry be judged?
Judges will use the following criteria to assess applications:
- Quality of idea in terms of environmental benefit
- Uniqueness/Originality of idea
- Quality of communication of idea in Pitch Video
- Quality of written application form
- Judges will be aware of the popularity indices and may take this into consideration but they will not be required to do so.
Also you all need to remember that some people have had many weeks of exposure and others (myself included) posted at the last minute - I only learnt of the competition just before the deadline.
Moreover, I presume that, like me, the entrants have been prudent and kept their confidential information off the website. My video, as well as being rushed, is necessarily vague for this reason, unless you sign a non disclosure agreement and I trust you there I am going to ‘give you the keys’ to my idea and business. So only the judges, privy to the strategy of the idea, are in a position to make an informed decision.
The rules even give you the option of having your entry removed from the website but not the competition on the 31st July - again, this demonstrates how little the public voting matters.
