  • How Often Your Fans Can Vote For You

    Community members should vote no more than once per day per category, during the voting period. We use browser and IP address data to limit frequency and create an environment of fair play.

    Encourage followers to share your posts with their networks.


    Schedule to go out multiple times during the Voting Period, including a strong last chance message.

  • Don't Offer a Reward for Votes

    The rules say you can't offer a reward for votes, since we want to keep it about their genuine support of your business or organization, but you can let them know that when they provide their name and email as part of their vote, they'll be entered for a chance with Horizon West Magazine to win $200 worth gift cards for good stuff in Horizon West!
