After last competition all forum users could vote through a public poll. Maybe it would be a good idea to replace one judge with a public poll results? :-) The only restriction would have to be that one forum user has only one vote.  This could give an overview of a public assessment of submissions before voting ends.

Yster,

MT5 is already known as a trading platform. I think this contest is to demonstrate the unlimited possibilities of MQL5 language.

Unfortunately, it's impossible. We have to publish Contest results and just after that we can show applications of participators on our forum.

Ok, I see. Thanks for the answer.
 

The Contest is acknowledged as abandoned, but Contest Organizers have decided to award Integer - author of the cIntBMP library, used to create BMP images.

According to the Contest Rules and by author's consent, we have published this work for public discussion. The author will be rewarded with $500.
