subdirectory called "winvote" in the main ftp area.
        
There were 106 entries accepted for voting.  If you prefer to download large
bundles, they are available in the directory named "zipped-up", under the name
"images-*.zip" for the images, and "all-text.zip" for the text.

This round's voting interval is 14 days; votes will be accepted from
