Therefore, no one would have any issue with the distribution when first submitting entries.

As it turned out, the doppelganger contest had nearly the same amount of entries, each of which requiring [arguably] more effort than a haiku. As such, it seems very one-sided, all other factors aside.

Although some of us here have come to the consensus that adding additional winners would alleviate many of the criticisms regarding how the contest was held, my main motivation is having some sort of acknowledgement that our voices have been heard at all. You might think, "But what if they simply say they will do nothing? You'll still be angry!" ... but no.
