Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest:
~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage more participation. ~~ Ranking designs daily will also keep your contest from getting cluttered. ~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you are going to see. ~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested" ~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation. ~~ Ranking is a non-monitary means of showing apprecaition for designers hard work. ~~ Designers earn points for ranked designs. We like to earn points.

After some internal discussions, we're leaning away from the Letterform marks. Of the ones we've seen, from DesignLab (#4) is the best, but also very close to the logo we are trying to replace.
With that in mind, we've changed the contest brief to only include Pictoral Mark Logos. We're looking for strong imagery that will be able to stand alone (with or without the name), be descriptive of what the company does, and be memorable.
