ikoni contest swali (just in general - no specific contest in mind); see details for the question.

I don't think it should be considered cheating because the rules don't say wewe can't ask other people for opinions before wewe submit. I often run submissions kwa 8theBabe before I submit. This is just another way of doing the same things

To be honest, I have been wondering about it for a while and was considering of making a kura ya maoni like that myself at some point. I don't think it counts as cheating either. Anyone can do it as the Rules do not forbid it. Since wewe have made multiple versions of the same ikoni there isn't that much of a difference in the end. Even if there was, all the zaidi interesting. Each participant will display the ''card'' he/she believes to be the strongest. It is a Clash of Art. Give it your best shot and everything will come down to people's preferences !!!!

Not really. I don't think its cheating. Pretty sure Riku wouldn't be bothered.

Ill post what I replied to Zanhars message with here for everyone to see my stance.

TLDR, its cool, but polling in the exact same place that the actual contest is taking place might be a bit wrong.

"Eh...Not particularly. That being said, don't kura ya maoni the bila mpangilio club about it though since its polling the people who are judging it. If its on your club I could care less and have been long since knowledgable of them in the past kura ya maoni and have taken part in them.

I dont particularly care but I think itd be odd / possible skewing if it polled the same club the actual contest is in.

But feel free to do it on your club au heck, any other club for that matter."
