Well... for other things beside 'the' mascot.. i would say have a seperate prize paid in swag to most 'popular' even if the popularity contest makes absolutely no effort to count unique votes. For logos or icons or background artwork.. you could easily have the judged on merit winner that you include in an official way.. and the popular choice which is honored in a less official way. Two winners for those sorts of things.. isn't a big deal. For 'the' mascot however I'm not sure having two winners is constructive. -jef
