I was wondering if someone have a family like this :

Such a person would certainly have a voting advantage!

What are the rules on getting family/friends to participate in voting? Is it allowed?

Yes, it is allowed as long as the rules are followed.

I'm a bit surprised that one of the finalists is not using Pianoteq 6 while it was explicitly mentioned in the rules:
- It needs to be clear on the video that you are using Pianoteq 6, either by showing the interface, talking about Pianoteq 6 or displaying Pianoteq 6 in text.

Anyway, good luck to the finalists!

You are right, we have now removed that entry from the 12 finalists and replaced it with a runner-up.

Anyway, good luck to the finalists!

Thank you everyone who participated in the video contest!

It is now time to start watching and voting for your favourite entries.

A jury, consisting of a small number of volunteers, have watched through all 65 video entries and selected 12 for public voting.
The entries are shown in no particular order.

A reminder of the voting rules:

• Voting is open to everybody.

• You can vote for 3 entries in no particular order.

• Attempts to vote several times will disqualify the vote.

• Voting ends on November 17th.

• The public votes and the jury votes are merged together with the same importance given to the jury and the public.

• The winners will be announced on November 19th.
