This is the situation:
Our local (dutch) con is having it's anual AMV contest soon. Last year there were about 10 entries and at most 80 - 100 people in the room. Like last year they will have a jury's prize. In contrast to last year I'd like them to introduce a "fan favorite" award giving the fans the chance to choose their favorite video.
Now comes the problem; seeing as there is an extremely limited amount of spectators, how would it be possible to organize such a vote without the person with the most friends winning automatically?
How do other contests organise things like this?
