Hey fellow DBR members. I recently applied for a few scholarships through the website Zinch, an awesome tool for college-bound students. Many of them don't take too much effort, and considering that I'm not even a senior (yet) I don't need to start doing legitimate, lengthy ones. I did, however, sign up for one through the website Brickfish Social Media. It involves submitting a picture of the person applying, and in that picture they must be smiling. A pretty neat, fun scholarship through which I could earn up to $500 towards college (Hopefully Duke!!), and if I DO in fact win, the Zinch website will match that amount because I registered through their website. $1000 towards Duke barely scratches the surface but it would be a great start.

If you would be so kind as to visit this website and vote for this picture, I would be much obliged!

The "Vote" button should be just under the ranking/score box. Thanks again!

I voted for you, but the vote total started and stayed at 30. Might want to have them check their system.

Yeah, I'm wondering about that because it stayed the same when I voted as well... The vote count has gone up since you voted though, hopefully there is just a lag time and I'm not actually losing votes!

But, thank you everyone!

I voted again, but you had only moved from 30 votes last night to 35 this morning. DBR poll skewing usually is far more effective than that! ;) At least you moved from 154 to 112th place.

Thanks! I forgot to mention you can vote MORE THAN ONCE!!! Haha, you have to wait a few hours though.

At this rate I could end up pretty high, out of 5,000 pictures, I am number like, 78?

I voted again and you're up to 37th. When does the voting end?

In forever... 2 months I think?

Apparently I just have to stay in the top 150, and a panel of judges picks the winner from those.

I don't think so. It says you have 252 votes. I think I've voted almost that many times for you! Well, not really, but half a dozen or more. You are currently ranked 53rd.

Well, thank you very much!

I have a sneaking suspicion that however they count votes, it isn't working the right way haha :p

Keep voting though! :)

I think I have solved the conundrum.

REVIEWS!
The score that you are ranked on is based on votes AND reviews! I didn't realize it until just now, and considering I only have 3 reviews... I won't ask you to write a review every time you vote, but it wouldn't hurt if you had some free time. :)

I certainly hope you win something and lord knows I've voted for you often enough, but this contest goes on waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.
