popularity contest
A popularity contest is a real or hypothetical contest in which the sole criterion for winning is how many votes one gets, such that the winner is the most liked contestant. Although the phrase is often used disparagingly to suggest that other contests are excessively superficial, the term historically referred to real contests sponsored by newspapers in late 19th century〔"Miss M'Cauley Wins." ''The Washington Post'' 14 Jul. 1890. ("She was voted the most popular school teacher in the District... in the ''Sunday Herald's'' popularity contest....")〕 and early 20th century〔"Teacher's Prize Trip to Hawaii." ''Hilo Tribune'' 10 Apr. 1906. ("Trips to Hawaii, as first prizes in newspaper popularity contests are evidently the rage.")〕 America. In 1914, the legality of these contests was challenged. A Kentucky appeals court ruled that popularity contests did not violate the state's lottery law.〔("Contests Are Legitimate." Hopkinsville Kentuckian. May 21, 1914. )〕〔( Millsape v. Urban, 171 S.W. 1198 )〕
