Maybe someone could change the banner to say that voting is open, and direct it to the post with links to individual stories?
And can I start the conspiracies yet? Public vote might tear the forum apart, and who would want to ally themselves with the senile old coot!? Certainly there are more popular individuals around, and you want to hang out with the cool kids, not grampa!

Also a reminder to everyone that I would not accept any prize money, and I am doing this only for bragging rights. In case anyone was potentially weighing their votes on who deserves the prize instead of solely on the stories themselves.
