DRIFTER_016 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 The fat lady is warming up her pipes and we are still down 1000 votes............doesn't look good at this point, but she ain't singin' yet. We have clawed back over 1000 votes since 8AM so anything is possible!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Well we missed first place by 848 votes but we still have a good chance coming in second like we did. The top 30 go into the finals where the judges figure out how to divvy up the $1,000,000. So keep yer fingas crossed. Final tally 1st place 43,869 votes, 2nd place (us) 43,021!!! A dang fine result I think!!! Thanks to all that helped out and I'll keep y'all posted on the final results.

Twocoda Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Scoring criteria The Judging panel will evaluate the 30 finalist ideas based on these criteria: Impact How deeply are people affected by this idea, and how urgent is the need? How many people will this idea benefit, and will it be compelling for a broad audience? Likelihood of Success How likely is this idea to be successfully executed in the short term? Longevity & Sustainability How long will the idea's affect last? Will it require regular funding beyond the initial request? If so, is there a plan to obtain additional funding? Originality How original is the idea? Submission Quality How much effort went into this entry? Was it well thought through and clearly explained? Should be interesting to see how this plays out ...

Should be indeed. They have been getting all kinds of donations from local business as well. BHP Diamonds have donated $20,000 and another business in town has donated $11,000 to the cause. If that doesn't prove the whole town is behind this thing I don't know what will. For a city as small as Yellowknife to get that many votes and almost place first with onlt 18,000 residents amazes me. Sure we had a lot of help but per capita we had an average of over 2 votes per every person in Yellowknife during the semis while the first place finisher averaged about 0.5 votes per person. Pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool. I think it's more a reflection of how powerful a tool the internet is. Regardless things are looking up for the homeless animals in YK and that's a good thing.
