Help My 9 month old Nephew... please?

[MarkS]

My sister entered the contest assuming that it would be a little more formal (IE: with official judges) but when she received the confirmation email it mentioned to pass along the web-link to “friends, family, co-workers, blogs” to gain the most votes.

Basically I’m thinking this contest is a ‘grass-roots’ advertising campaign for the publication: get as many people as they can to log on and check out the site. I mean, hey, if that’s what it is then that’s what it is; the prize is still very real, and would still mean a lot to my sister’s family.

Again, I thank you all VERY much for your support!

Have a great day!

Well, if THAT'S the case and it's just a ploy by the web designers to increase their hit count, I've got several different IP's and MAC addresses that I can vote from so I can vote several times. Yeah, that's probably cheating too, but what the heck.

Good news!

It is official... With your support, little Damon has been named the cutest pumpkin in the patch with an über WIN! Voting ended with Damon holding a whopping 140 vote lead over the next highest competitor, causing the contest organizer to comment "I think this was the biggest margin of win we’ve ever had!”

Darn right! :biggrin:

My sister has phoned several times over the past few days with ‘updates’ on the vote count, and I just got off the phone with her again – she is absolutely ecstatic! This really meant a lot and I can’t thank you all enough.

The prize is a gift basket filled with Halloween-themed goodies courtesy of For All Occasions Gift Baskets.

But more than the physical prize, the bragging rights will last a lifetime. My sister’s family is one of those that go all out for Halloween and I can just imagine Damon, years from now, being told how he was voted the cutest pumpkin in the patch. You can’t put a price tag on that. It will be a cherished childhood memory, and later, a wonderful form of torture when I whip the picture out in front of his friends. :tongue:

Right now we are all on cloud 9 and you helped elevate us there, so, again, thank you thank you!!! Happy Halloween to one and all!
