• Fill out the application form and we will be in touch to advise on eligibility.

• There will be a meeting before the event so you can get advice on how to be successful on the night of the vote!
• It is compelling to have a single project or project cluster that might capture the imagination of the voters.
• Have a project that will be completed within the year so that you can have a successful conclusion to report at next year's meeting.
• Include pictures, videos, sketches or any visuals that will help voters get a clear picture of your plan.
• An estimate (or two) will appeal to the practical nature of your voters.
• Try to anticipate any questions potential voters may have about your charity/organization.
• Be prepared to disclose any other winnings or sources of income.

Each nominated charity is given a page on this site.  You can submit text, photos or videos.  Bear in mind that this is a great place to make your case.  You can win the money if you provide a campaign that wins the hearts and minds of the majority of voters!  Think about what would lure votes toward your favourite cause.  Send photos, plans, tell stories... Anything that would cause people to rally behind your charity!

• All nominees will speak for 3-5 minutes prior to the vote.
• The website and the "Meet and Mingle" before the vote will also be an opportunity to promote your project.  
• It is a good idea to have handouts so that, should people be rushed, they will have an opportunity to read about your project before they vote.
