             = GENERAL INFO =

The  Enlight '96 demo party will be held at
the  end of August, 1996 in St.Petersbourg.
Looking  back  to  the  Enlight  '96, it is
possible  that total number of participants
and  guests  will  be  greater than 100-150
person.   The  Party  will  last for 2 days

                  Voting
                  ======

The best works will be defined by voting of
all persons at the party.  All of them will
get   a   vote-sheet.    After  each  compo
everybody  choose 3 best works and estimate
each within 1..5 balls (5 is the best).  At
the  end  all  vote-sheets will be given to
organizers  to  count  amount  of balls for
each work.  Total sum of balls of each work
shows  the  place.   If  amount of balls is
equal   for   two  or  more  works  (what's
     unlikely), they share the place.
