If you're going to put these things up for public vote, then you're going to have deal with people voting for things you don't like.
I've seen some nice signatures from these contests, but the vast majority of them is photoshop wank. All of the signatures in this week's contest, save Cheyenne's, demonstrate technical skill, none of them have any aesthetic merit. You're going to need both to win my vote at least, and aesthetics will always trump skill. And it seems like other people might agree.
You can throw your credibility away by changing the rules halfway through the vote and whining about people voting for the lulz entry, but Cheyenne's success in this contest is as much a comment on the artistic quality of the other entries as it is on Cheyenne's entry.

So what you and RV, and some others here are saying is:
"I don't know how to use Photoshop so I don't appreciate art. You guys clearly like making it, so I think I'll "humble you" by voting for the lulz sig. Hahaha"
