Will my vote from beta-testing be counted, if I am eligible?
Yes, as long as the vote is valid (meaning we can identify the picture you have voted for, the picture was not added to the gallery by a mistake or vandalism and no error occurred). You can check all your votes in your contributions or by clicking the 'My POTY' control panel in the top right corner on a gallery page.
Am I allowed to vote after the voting period is over?
வாக்களிக்கும் காலவரைக்குப் பின் வாக்களிப்பதால், தடை விதிப்பது, நிர்வாக ஒழுங்கு நடவடிக்கை போன்ற தண்டனைகள் ஏதும் இராது. ஆனால் உங்கள் வாக்கு கணக்கிலிருந்து நீக்கப்படலாம்.

Are there results for contest before a round ends?
No. We don't want the results to influence voters and cause a more significant impact of an early lead. We will publish all the voting statistics after a round ends. You may however analyze the candidate vote pages yourself in whichever method you like, but we are strongly against publishing such results before the end of the round.
Who is running the contest?
