It's already been announced that there will be a vote. It would be changing
the rules in the middle of the contest. This would not be a good idea.
This contest is more about coming up with solid set of guidelines for the
design of the icons. So the vote is less about choosing a "winning" set of
icons, but giving us a definition of what the icons should look like. The
lack of guidelines has been the biggest problem with those doing the
creative design. In fact, there has even been a request that a set of
guidelines be established for the haiku logo (i.e. font, exact colors). It
seems that we have a lot of creative people working on this project that
understand the importance of maintaining unity in design. Personally I'm
very impressed with that.

As I stated previously, I believe voting will be fine as long as it is done
as rating different categories. Just voting a winner will not provide
effective input to the project.
