How will this work? Three finalists will be selected for each contest by panel of three judges. All three finalists' captions will be published on the Cartoon Caption Contest page within a week of the deadline for entry submission.
The judges have the final word. All decisions are final and binding - well, at least in regards to the Contest anyway.
Who wins? The winner of each contest will be the person whose caption receives the greatest number of valid votes.
