Follow up: Community Voting Changes

Last week we had an awesome conversation with community members who were concerned that Local Motors' voting method may not produce the most desired results. Were we voting on render technique or design? What about the issues of feasibility and fit of the competition brief? Aurel blogged about this a bit already, and will do a bit more soon.

We tried to conquer these issues in one sitting and came up with several good solutions. One change in particular that we are aiming for is a 3-segment vote per design entry:

- Design
- Feasibility/Buildability
- Fit to the Competition Brief

We have not yet included these changes in the Custom Car Skins competition, but we plan to in the future. It will look more like this:

- Design
- "Wrappability" aka feasibility
- Fit to the Competition Brief

For now voting looks the same as ever; vote 0-5, 5 being the best - and if you want it, click the "I want it" button.

Be sure to VOTE on the Car Skins Competition designs. It is true that the host of the Car Skins competitions will ultimately choose the winner, but they want to know what you think!
