Wow. Did not know about that. That will definitely lead to malicious intents. Maybe a better way to pick a winner is to go by the number of downloads a model has. That may works great as it will be newly uploaded models without preexisting downloads and a more definite way of showing popularity. This upvote voting system is horrible. It can definitley be gamed. Hope someone can bring this to the attention of the contest holder or some 3d hubs admin.

Switching ip, proxy, doesn’t let you vote more. It’s 1 up vote per 3dhubs account. One needs to log into their account to vote. Meaning if someone wanted to do say 20 votes, they would need 20 email addresses and sign up for 20 new 3D hubs accounts. That I’m sure would be noticeable and flagged by the contest holders.

Hi Geoff, hope with the new rules you would re-enter the competition. I really apologies for the rules making you uncomfortable. Hope the new setup, with a judging panel, is fairer for all the community.

Any question, please ask!

Hey! Thanks for your feedback on the competition. It’s important to say that this is not a contest made just for people who have a 3D printer. We’re a printing network connecting you to close 3D printers, so if you want to print your Star Wars designs you have the possibility to print it at nearby Hubs.
I have an update on criteria selection of the winner. In order to maintain the fairness of the competition and its entries, the winners will be chosen by a selected jury of Ultimaker and 3D Hubs team members. The judging criteria will still be the same: the most innovative design on Star Wars topic. I’m very grateful for the feedback on this. Cheers, Simona

Very true, however, after the complains on this topic, we felt the necessity to change some rules in order to make all the participants comfortable. The winners will be chosen by a selected jury of Ultimaker and 3D Hubs team members. The judging criteria will still be the same: the most innovative design on Star Wars topic. Thanks a lot for the feedback. Cheers, Simona
