Top 10 Projects Open for Voting!

March 31st, 2009 at 10:52 pm

The Top 10 schools have logged countless hours on their projects, and now it’s your turn to be the judge.

Vote for your favorite project here before midnight PST on Sunday, April 5.

We gave each school $1,000 and three weeks to come up with something amazing, and they’ve outdone themselves. We’ve got everything from outreach to other schools to incredible on-campus displays to hundreds and even thousands of new sign-ups.

Your votes will count for 40% of the total scores, with our judging panel’s evaluations making up the other 60%. You can only vote once per email address, and we will be watching very closely for suspicious activity so don’t try to game the system.

So what should you be looking for while deciding how to cast your vote? Think about:

- Scope: was the project ambitious enough? Too ambitious? Were there a variety of activities but not so many that the message was diluted?

- Relevance: did the project conform to ONE’s mission and relate to extreme global poverty, infectious diseases and related issues?

- Level of Engagement: how deep did this project delve into ONE’s issues?

- Impact: how did the community respond to the actions? How many people were reached? Was there an advocacy effort, and was it successful?

- Creativity: did the chapter use creative methods and step “outside the box” to reach out to new members and raise awareness about ONE?

Consider all the projects and vote for your favorite here.
