Get Your Brew On: Voting!
Submissions for the Get Your Brew On contest are officially closed but voting is open for all!
Almost 300 submissions will show up anonymously. This is to keep the contest from becoming a popularity contest. That means you should not post or give hints on the forums or anywhere else on which submission is yours during voting. Your idea should speak for itself. ;)
Voting will be closing at 11:59pm on September 28th. You can vote for 5 microbrews.
Remember to judge based on what kind of drink is most appealing to you. Don't just go for the best image, take the time to read all the descriptions and everything else provided!

Created a ticket for mine. It's probably too late, but it would be nice to know for future references what went wrong.
Good luck to all others! There are really nice ones in there..
I knew a lot of users would come up with amazing descriptions!

Aw man, only five? I have more like fifteen favorites, some of these are amazing. Tough choices...

I normally don't bitch unless there's a reason for it. At the end of the day, there are 6 qualified submissions that are missing from the pool of 300 due to oversight. The phrase "All 300" translates to 300 entries to choose from. It doesn't get much clearer than that.
I counted those rows over and over again, and @Lag double-checked as well.

Just posting to reinforce that even though there is almighty bitching within the userbase whenever they crop up, I LOVE submission events where we get to vote for the winners. Thanks for organizing this.
@Ariel thank you very much! :) A bullet point list of important rules for each contest on the submissions page would be helpful, too. That way everything is transparent and there won't be any upsets.

In the future we'll make sure to include a reminder, but that's part of the site rules and always applies.

Also if you're on a pc and are searching for keywords like the name of your own hit ctrl + f and a FIND function will pop up makes it so much easier with big lists on here lol
@Ariel the fact is that it should be reminded for each contest and in a clear, concise and front and center way. It shouldn't be something that's just "remembered" as something like that can be forgotten in the excitement of the contest.

You can't submit content that wasn't yours, that's been the same across the board. I wasn't involved in the screening this time, but for example: we had a lot of entries for our cake contest that were just images people took from other sources. That isn't fair and isn't allowed.

@Ariel if images from Google aren't allowed, then that should be in the rules. I never saw anything that said google images weren't allowed as some people can't draw and 500 characters to describe a label isn't enough for some people
I wish the list was alphabetical because we all know what we named our entries. Just saying. LOL.
At least I found mine.

It's a contest and there are rules. We make sure all entries posted for voting on follow those rules. We've removed entries for every contest so far. Some that were outright cheating (using images from Google, for example), others that just didn't meet all of the criteria.

With so many entries, I think it may have been better to have more than one round of voting. Vote for the top 50 and then the top 5. Good luck, everyone.
@Ariel I don't remember seeing any kind of pre-screening being mentioned for this contest. I think that anyone who entered should've been given a chance in the voting and not eliminating only a few. There should also be something that tells you if your uploaded image is too big on the submissions page so that there are no disqualifications over image size issues.
The art on some of these is amazing, and so many cool ideas :) I wish I had participated now lol
Good luck to everyone ♥

If you don't see yours here it's possible that it didn't qualify or wasn't uploaded with the correct requirements.
@Wolf_Spirit I think if people really love one of the brew's, they'll change their vote. But if they reset the votes, people may not vote at all, again. Especially seeing as many entries as there are right now. I am sorry to those that haven't had their entry show up, though. But in general, giving users over 300 options was never the way to go about this :/
@Stiles the fact of the matter is that most people WON'T change their minds and if people are added late it doesn't give them a fair advantage
Mine isn't showing up either, which really isn't that much of an issue but is a little disappointing since it says all of the entries should be there.
A lot of these entries are super detailed, I'm glad to see people put so much thought into this

@Wolf_Spirit All the votes don't need to be cleared, though. They don't technically count until 9-28, and you can still change them I believe, until then. They need to add the few entries they did forget, however. Then edit this post to make everyone aware that wants to go back and check them out.
I don't know if I can make it through all 300 entries, but i'm gonna try.
Good luck to everyone who entered! :D

It seems as though I'm not alone in my entry not appearing in the list. I think all votes should be cleared, all entries re-uploaded and then voting re-opened so that it gives everyone a fair chance
Also going to add that I don't see how just 5 will be chosen out of about 300 entries, by the time the 28th comes around? I assumed there would be this round and maybe a final round to determine?
It's a credit to everyone who entered that there were enough interesting ideas and humour to make me keep going! :)
