Make a young girl's dream come true!

Hello everyone,

As some of you know, one of our fellow members Jacqui(jacqui778), has entered her beardie Reggie in a pet photo contest in her hometown of Johnstown, PA. Jacqui posted and has a thread about the contest here. viewtopic.php?f=49&t=105243&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

The contest started on May 17, 2009 and goes thru June 2, 2009. The newspaper that is holding the contest allows online voting, votes are 25 cents each, with a $5.00 minimum for online voting(all the proceeds go to several animal orginizations in Jacqui's community).You may also vote as many times as you wish. It is very simple to vote as long as you have a paypal account or a credit card.

I understand for alot of us, times are tough and money is tight. If though, you can afford even the min. of $5.00(which would be 20 votes for Reggie),you could help Reggie win and also be contributing to a good cause. Here is the contest http://www.johnstownmag.com/pet_contest/

If you don't want to do it for Jacqui and her sweet little Reggie, do it in the name of beardies, who for alot of people are not considered to be as cute as say .....a dog or cat!

Jacqui does not know I am making this post. I have gotten to know Jacqui on a more personal level and find her to be a sweet girl with a heart of gold. If you are able to vote, I know it would be much appreciated by Jacqui.

Come on and help make the dream of a 12 yr old girl come true!

Thanks,

Dawn

Go Reggie Go!!! I already voted in Round 1, when that ends the top 10 pets move on to Round 2, and Reggie can count on our votes!

Thanks Jennifer for the bump and you too dna14 for all your support. I know Jacqui appreciates it!

me and my master lucy voted

 

[jacqui778]

Wow, thanks, Dawn! While voting is almost over, we've got 380 so far, which I know I could not have achieved without the members of BD.org! :mrgreen:

Well, we're down to 12-13th place, so I'm not sure if we'll move on.... but, we'll at least be in the paper.

Jacqui,

The contest rules state that the top 40 from this round will move on to round 2. Then voting starts again and the top ten will be picked from that round to be the winners.

So yes.....you will move on to the second round of voting!

 

[supertrisha]

Do you know when round 2 begins? I missed voting for round one... but it looks like Reggie will move on!

(much cuter than the pig, by the way )

Round One's voting ends today, June 2nd, at 5:00 pm (EST). It doesn't actually say when Round Two voting begins, I would guess maybe tomorrow after they get all the votes in tonight from Round One. Round Two voting ends June 19th at 5:00 pm (EST).

Great- I can vote in the second round! GO REGGIE!

Can UK citizens vote?

 

[gulfbrzdawn]

I don't see why not, Holly.

Its some sites have IPS trackers and you cant vote/bid/watch a video if you are not in the states.
Its happened before when another member was asking for votes for a local radio stations pet competition.
Took me about an hour to click through all the pictures, found hers, then got shut down!

Apparently the states dont want the brits stealing their goodies!

 

[gulfbrzdawn]

Do I need to call the newspaper headquarters?! :twisted:
