I chose the latter, but that will prevent multiple computers behind the same router from voting more than once per day. If I turn off all vote tracking then people can just stuff the ballot box, which isn't really fair. I know it's frustrating. Maybe next time I'll set it to cookie only, although even then if you're both on the same computer, there's not really a way around it. A log-in system isn't going to happen, that's incredibly complicated and would prevent casual friends/users from dropping in and casting a quick "help out a buddy" kind of vote.

We have two users in our household, but it would only allow one of us to vote per day. Even when I would try to vote at work, I got one vote, and the other days I tried, it said "Thank you, we have already counted your vote" (or something close to that). I think if it were possible, on the next go around we should try a program where you have to log in or something, so everyone's vote would get counted. Just my frustrated opinion, thanks.

Maybe try a double elimination style contest: http://www.baberuthleague.org/images/8team.pdf Haven’t had a chance to read through all of the comments, but it sounds like you are looking for a way to showcase all entrants work.

It's a single-elimination bracket tournament. Having said that, I am wanting some way to make sure those other characters get seen, probably with a parallel set of tournaments to decide final seating for the other slots (3 through 16, since 1 and 2 are the last two standing). @Danny: That is correct, yes.
