@Slytherclaw: These kinds of sites are notorious for cliques, and I would definitely vote against any kind of community-driven poll.
Leave it to unbiased judges imo. If you guys really want to see what the community thinks, a poll unrelated to the contest (as in, it doesn't result in a winner) would be my suggestion.

I think if the you want a community vote, the designs would have to be shown without any credit to the designers until after the voting ends.
Also, I quite like the lazy bumpkin hair by cedes or the windswept hair by Lunakiri.
@Kent: Thats a cool idea but what is to stop the designers themselves from advertising their product? I guess an NDA must be signed and whoever breaks it will immediately be disqualified? But even with that, nobody can really monitor everything 24/7.
Yeah, people would probably tell their friends. Eh. I'd hope they wouldn't to be fair. :vanora_sweat:

Maybe a contest where there would be no monetary value to winning except that the design would become an item in the shops would be able to be community-judged.
Do you think the cliquey aspect is inherent to the fact that there are prizes related? Like...if it were just an honorable mention category where the only result is that the item gets made and released on the site, would people still end up popularity contesting, or do you think people would be more likely to vote for the item they actually want?
Saeyra, don't you ninja me you are wearing gold and pink those are not ninja colors x3
@Slytherclaw: Haha all I can say is great minds think alike! 
PS: I am the pink ninja! Don't you forget it!

I think that's a good idea and I can't really see any harm in it. Even if a majority votes on a design by popularity, it's only adding what is ... probably a good design into the production line.
@Slytherclaw: I meant more cliques are a thing regardless of whether it's a contest or not. But if you start ENCOURAGING cliques, niches, and popularity-based events, I can only see an unfavorable result for everyone.

Hmmm I like all hairs that don't have bangs <.< I don't like hairs getting in the face.
@mdom: Agreed! Especially when wearing wools and everything gets all static-y and uncontrollable. Its chaos!
Always ping me please. 
So many cute ideas in this thread. I can't wait to see what gets made!
