Voting is fine. Trolling for votes isn't. Just vote for the one you honestly feel is best. Winning only means something if it is truly based on earned merit.
Thanks Cog, to reiterate and compound, entrants are allowed to vote and are in fact encourged to do so. And yes, it is possible to vote for yourself in the process, but we would hope you would only do so if you truly believe your piece to be the best after having read all of the other entries objectively. Remember, that the greatest victories come when they are most greatly deserved.
Voting is now closed, congratulations to yellowm&M for the winning entry: https://www.writingforums.org/showthread.php?t=19139 There are still 5 days left to submit an entry to the current contest themed 'Armageddon', see this link for more details: https://www.writingforums.org/showthread.php?t=18932
