Last months voting was up 3 days before I realised, and I was in it! Also I don't think my build was much better than @harkness13 or @NDCowdy and I reckon it would've been much closer if more people were aware of the contest. Thanks.
Personally I tend to go right to 'new posts' when I log on. Things can get a bit lost when there is something big happening such as the recent flood of Conquest related posts. I've nearly missed voting a few times. I did wonder if posts on the Sim Settlements Facebook page plugging the start and end of the contest might attract more entries and voting.
@uituit informed me: should be a new way to vote soon instead of just inhouse voting everyone will be able to vote for all entries and that will be more public Ty to @uituit for the update
