How about we e-mail them and ask them to join the list rather than set it
up for them?  That way, they choose the e-mail address they will use.

No problem, of course...

I'm thinking they probably won't need it, but I will try to program up
something this week.

Yep.  My concern is, still, that there will be ballot-stuffing in a
people's choice award unless we make everyone register (icky).  Not a lot
of experience with this sort of polling yet...

On the other hand, it would be incredibly easy to add a "entrant's choice"
judging.  I will freeze out the registration process and only allow people
who've already registered to get back on the site, where they can vote.

I welcome more input on this.

Zero.  Nada.  Nobody.  Everyone wants that bow-front tank.
