Voting has finally arrived!

There's a large selection this time again, but only one can be the winner~!

Good luck to all of the shrines!

Thanks goes to the ones who nominated!

Note: Coins for those who nominated will be issued later today.
Edit: Coins have been noted at the bank.

This is always super challenging for me to pick JUST ONE ;-;

I know!

Luckily, there are only a few categories for Shrine Spotlight, so this category will come again at some point and we can select another site to win!

Video game shrines are my first shrine love, haha. So tough to choose.

Ugh, so hard to choose!

It really is! I still don't know which one to vote for :(

I was having such a hard time deciding, and then my former-English-teacher sense kicked in and I made a "grading rubric" to judge the sites. (You can take a girl out of classroom practices, but you apparently can't take the classroom practices out of the girl. xD!!)

Robin, I want to know more about that!

It's hard to vote, but personally I just aim for one that I know and like and I know there's so many others that I love and deserve to win, but as long as they're nominated again, they just have to wait for another month :)

This is my (super unofficial) "shrine grading rubric":

Written Content:
- Lots of factual content AND some personal subjective analysis = 4 points
- Lots of factual content, but little to no subjective analysis = 3 points
- Only some factual content = 2 points
- Little to no factual content = 1 point
- ...uh, what is this shrine even about? = 0 points

Layout: (checklist)
- High contrast text/background colors for legibility = 1 point
- Large enough font = 1 point
- Attractive layout images and navigation = 1 point
- Well-organized and nicely spaced content = 1 point

Audiovisual Media (if applicable)
- Displays/plays well in all browsers, well-organized visually into a gallery = 4 points
- Displays/plays well in all browsers, but not organized = 3 points
- Doesn't display/play well in a couple of browsers, not organized = 2 points
- Doesn't display/play well in most browsers, not organized = 1 point
- Can't view it/play it, and it's messier than my room = 0 points

Originality
- Includes at least 33% original content = 4 points
- Includes 25% original content = 3 points
- Includes 15% original content = 2 points
- Includes 5% original content = 1 point
- ...wait, isn't this a copy of [insert other shrine name here]? = 0 points

(btw, most of my one-page shrines currently get a failing grade through this rubric D: I guess that means this is good and objective?? LOL)

Actually...that's pretty reasonable! I'm dying over your phrasing though XD

Is it terrible that my instinct is to see if I can break your system apart to see if there's room for improvement?!? (YES IT IS...)
