Exhibition's been nominated - really appreciate your vote
Discussion
Back in April I held my first exhibition and I've just found out it's been shortlisted for Best Exhibition (section F) in our local rag's annual awards. Cue moment of elation on my part 
Thing is I'm up against some major events and high profile displays and need all the help I can get just to get on the scoresheet.
I'll jog your memory with a selection from the exhibition so you know what you're voting for and let the images take over from here. Voting online takes just a couple of minutes and just to warn you they do ask for an address so if you get that far make sure you tick the mailing opt-out box.
Thanks PHers (and sorry to those of you who are friends on FB or flickr as I'm going to be pounding those until voting closes Oct 15th.)

Just for s
ts and giggles you might like to see how this exact same thread turned out on TalkPhotography.
Done!ts and giggles you might like to see how this exact same thread turned out on TalkPhotography.And do tell...! Another of the nominees also on that forum?
And haha, no, or at least not that was declared.
Quick summary: first response questioned my judgement in making the post and said would only vote once I'd posted equal info about all the nominated entries. My rational reply was rebuked and followed by three accusations of cheating (including one from a mod) and a final post where someone had googled and provided links to the other 8 entries and tapped out "couldn't be bothered to search for this one" against mine. I cut my losses and replaced my OP with a dummy-spitting smiley and the whole lot got pulled.
Just googled to see if there was a cached version hanging around and in a bizarre move the thread on TP has been resurrected but remains closed - guess you can judge for yourselves

Well, to be fair I'd have liked to have seen the other entries so I could judge your pics against those, although the final post not including yours as a link is a little childish. Competitions based on internet popularity aways bring strange results. Lets face it, there's a peugeot 307 winning on the top gear cool wall at the moment.
Bam is a fantastic picture with the sparks flying in really making an impact. Good luck

I have to say I agree with the people saying they want to be able to see all the entries and then vote for the one they prefer. Of course you want your entry to win, but then I'm sure everyone else wants theirs to win too, and I'd be pretty gutted if I'd got nominated in something like this and then lost out to someone with a lesser entry who just happened to be better at using social media to get people to support them blindly.
Having said that, I've still voted for yours anyway, as it was the one I preferred.
