next sunday open voting starts - not this coming saturday, but next saturday all votes from next week will be tallied up and the top 25 will be posted - then we pick the top 1 from them each week from there moving forward - basically there is a week for posting up your entry, then a week of voting, then we will post the week 1 winner the following week.  so just after 2 weeks you'll see the first semi-finalist emerge and be notified.
