Kookastar, I have entered this, but atm I am kinda busy, although it may not seem it, I do have assignments and all that with school that I have gotta do, so I dso not have as much time to post, but I do just browse occasionaly, as I do multitask, but not enough time to post some really long stuff.
But as soon as some time comes to me, I will finish off my entry.

Does this have to be about Homm, or can it just be about anything?

There are 2 comps but this is the only one that actually has any entries 
This one needs to have some link with HOMM - like you could sell it as a HOMM board game.
The other is a HC Board Game comp {link in first post} that can be about this place
If you've already created a game, maybe you could adapt it so it fits one of these

Judgement
I will select the top 3 entries {finalists}
These entries will be showcased and all members will have the opportunity to vote ONCE to me via HCM.
Isn't it better that everyone will post his vote?

NO
I will pick the top 3, and then the public can decide a winner
This will get more people to judge as they only need to look at 3 entries.

I meant, after you pick 3 entries.
Won't it be easier for us (and for you, as well) that people will post their votes, instead sending them to you via HCM?

Ohhhhhh
Well I think it is best to remove the 'friendship' aspect - this way the votes are secret, and also can encourage people to vote.
People can still voice their support. Hmmmmmm.
I am open to change this if that is what contestants would prefer

The things is that like I said, everyone can know how many votes he had. Nobody can doubt the honesty of the organization.
Ofcourse I trust you. However, things should be bared. Every competitor should know how many people voted for him.
Questions like "maybe she was confused with the calculations?" or "maybe she accidentely deleted one of the votes?" shouldn't even appear.
Contest like those shouldn't be built on trust. They should be built on facts.
However, I understood your point of removing the 'friendship' aspect, and creating true, honest votes.
My suggestion is: Do a list of votes, and update it every day.
Something like:
Quote:
Votes:
William-3
Gnoll_Mage-4
EliteKill-5
GenieLord-4

I can do that - no problem
I understand your thoughts about the votes being open, and maybe you are correct, it is better to have the evidence in the open...
let's think about it - when I get the final 3 selected, we'll ask them what they would prefer - and we shall do that

I think that the board game can't be too similar to the original computer game.
You need to think about things that will make it playable on the board.
Things can't be too complicated.
I just can't see how every faction can contain 7 creatures+upgrades on board game.
And how can you calculate the damage of every hit, when you have to consider many things, like damage, attack, defence, etc.
Things like that are piece of cake on the computer, that calculates it in seconds for you.
Try to imagine yourself calculating the damage of every hit, when there's morale/luck, even to calculate how many creatures were killed.
Even if those things aren't complicated, they might make the game to very boring or annoying.
@Kooka: when you pick the three top games, try to imagine how will it be to play each and every one of the games. However, I assume you have already known that.
