I hope it doesn't! If you want to submit the work and don't care about the voting, why would it matter if you won or not? (Don't get me wrong, everyone likes to win, but if an entry was going to be marked ineligible, I don't see the difference, as it wouldn't win anyway.)

That said, if you're concerned about the voting totals, please be assured that we're not making them public. We don't want anyone to feel singled out, or upset anyone who might be uncomfortable having everyone know what their result was.
