How the Winner Is Determined

Once you’ve entered the contest, you’ll be put in a pool with other entrants from your region of the country for bracket-style voting. In the first round of voting, the top two vote getters from each of the four regions will move on to the next round. The top four vote getters from Round Two move on to the Semifinalist Round and the top two semifinalists move on to the Finalist Round.

The winner of the Finalist Round will receive $5,000 and each of the remaining semifinalists will receive $1,000.

Anyone is eligible to vote, and everyone is allowed to vote once per day. To maximize your odds of winning, be sure to spread the word about the contest to your network by posting on Facebook or tweeting with the hashtag #iongives5k.
