There’s always a great sense of excitement in the air when our Online Vote goes live
because everyone is eager to see the entries. However, this year it’s even more so since not
only are everyone’s images going in for the first time but most of the Let’s do it for ME Team
haven’t even seen any of them. With over 150 images and the high standard of entries
everyone is certainly going to be spoilt for choice. We’re also really glad we expanded our
competition to accept artwork this year as there are obviously some very talented people
out there. But before we tell you how to vote, we’d like to say a very big thank you to everyone
who has entered and to all those taking part. We couldn’t do it without you!
To vote, simply go to our Voting Gallery and click ‘Vote’ on your favourite image(s). You can
vote for as many images as you like but you can only vote once per image per IP address.
Facebook users can vote on our Competition App Page and those not on Facebook can vote
via our Competition webpage. Since there are so many entries make sure you click on ‘View
More’ at the bottom of Gallery to see them all. Alternatively, you can click on the first
image and scroll between them using the arrows directly beneath the image. This option also allows
you to see the images in full as the Voting page only initially displays image thumbnails.
Remember the vote closes at midnight 7 September.
Invest in ME will then judge the final stage and choose the winners whose images will be
printed on this year’s Christmas cards. We aim to print ten cards and will announce the
winners on 19 September, both on our blog and Facebook Competition Event’s Page. We
hope to have the cards ready for sale by late September through Invest in ME’s website. All
the cards are sold in aid of Invest in ME’s Biomedical Research Fund so any purchases made
will not only help advance ME research but also raise much needed awareness of the
disease.
Have fun and good luck to all our entrants!
