This may well be due to confusion arising from (sometimes redundant and 
perhaps somewhat contradictory) information about the contest scattered 
in different places (ie., multiples posts in this list, multiple posts 
on the Haiku forum, and the announcement on the Haiku website front 
page). The mix of internal and external communications on the list and 
the forums may also be prone to create confusion. Let's try to 
summarize all the relevant info intended for the outside world in the 
wiki, and refer everyone there.

If that is the case, is the Icon Contest Page 
(http://bug-nordic.org/iconcontest/) 
then also temporary? If so, the wiki has to be changed accordingly.

Where will the actual voting take place?
