Hartamophone Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) What up Skanks? I'm asking a small favour.The Globe and Mail is having a contest to add one writer and one photographer to its editorial team for the Vancouver/Whistler Olympics (here's a link to the contest's website). For an aspiring writer with dreams of going pro (hey, that's me) this would be the opportunity of a lifetime, so I've submitted an article in the competition.This is where you come in.I need to be in the top-50 vote-getters in order to proceed to the next round. Your votes would mean a lot to me. So would your mother's vote, and your sister's, your dog's, etc. Here's where you can read my story and vote for it, should you so choose: LINK. Note that you are eligible to win some sweet prizes (a fancy camera and a tricked-out laptop) just for voting.Voting can be done daily until November 22, so please consider voting more than once (or, you know, daily). There are certainly more noble things you can do with thirty seconds and a click of your mouse (see this thread, for example), but this really would mean the world to me. Part of why I have taken this year "off" after school is to work on my writing and try and do something with it, so this is an opportunity that I don't want to watch slip away. Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for voting. Hopefully I've racked up enough good karma around this place to snag some votes, despite not knowing very many of you off the board. Also, as an added bonus, every time you vote, an angel gets its wings and global warming will be reversed by one year. So really, let's all do our part.Once again, here's my LINK.Peace,Hart Edited November 18, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yeah, I didn't hear about it until I was on the plane to Indio. I just got around to starting my submission yesterday and I was hoping to find some time to finish it up today or tomorrow.Best of luck to you, here's hoping we both make it to the next round!

Hartamophone Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Thanks again, to everyone who has voted (and to those who have yet to get around to it but are planning to!).I know it's a little weird with both Velvet and I in the running, but he and I have exchanged a few PMs and there are nothing but good vibes flowing between the two of us.Also, while I'm on the subject of self-promotion, if you enjoyed my entry and are looking to kill some time at work (which you probably are, given that you're on here on a Friday afternoon) you can check out my blog.Thanks again!

Hartamophone Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I really do appreciate every single vote, folks. I get a little overwhelmed thinking about people I've never met "in real life" taking a few moments to help me out. I'm right on the bubble right now of where I need to be to move on to the next round.And now, Tony Rice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartamophone Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Still chuggin' along. Didn't have a great Tuesday vote-wise, so I'm really hoping for a bit of a bump in the next couple of days. My gratitude for every vote runs deep, folks!And now a word from the Boss and some random dude from Seattle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
