First of all, thank you for your entries in the video contest.

We have the tools to make sure that the voting will be as fair as possible.

Our webmaster is currently taking a closer look at the voting page to make sure there are no entries missing or duplicate. Any errors should be corrected today.

I am curious and would kindly like to ask whether there are taken some measures to assure fairness during voting, that is, e.g. to prevent users from voting multiple times?

Cheers,
Daniel
