There's not a thing stopping you from doing so, if you wish.  If the US President can vote in his own election, why can't you vote on an award?

I abstain only out of a desire to be seen as impartial - I have too much behind-the-scenes access to the goings on.

No - but it allows me to say, "Yes, I have not taken favorites at any time during the drawing" without feeling a need to cross my fingers or something.  I can pass a lie detector test when lying (did it once before) but being honest is far simpler.

To use my previous example, yes, the President can vote in his own election - but no one gets to see who he voted for, right?

Despite this only being a contest for bragging rights, I want there to be no hint of impropriety in how it was handled.

I would vote for them all if I could, but for some reason that's just not an option. They're all the best. :)

Thanks for the nomination and kind words. Some really amazing and talented artist came out last year to make great decks.

Oh,wow!!!!
just saw this! :)

thank you for the nomination and the votes. Sorry if I am not that active on the forum. :)
I will keep on doing high quality things, working now on the 4th deck, but of course it´s a long way before it is ready.
Waiting for heretic fulfillment and no.17 campaign to be launched.

THANK YOU ALL!! :)
