Voting is open from now until April 9. The 7 bloggers who "ignite the most spark" (aka get the most stars/votes) will be chosen and announced on April 10. Then a panel will choose an additional 7 the following week from the remaining pool. Those 14 lucky ducks will get free passes to the conference, along with the opportunity to share their passion at the conference, and I want to be there so bad! Unfortunately, the spark I wrote is a little lackluster (read: I'm way self-conscious about it and wish I'd had someone proofread it for me for some confidence boosting), and that is entirely what the vote is based on. No names, no blog affiliations, just a spark (aka pitch).
The organizers want to keep this from being a popularity contest, for which I am GRATEFUL. Let's face it, I don't have the biggest blog on the block. BUT, I could really use a little help from my friends. You can vote for more than one spark, but you can only vote once for each. Each vote is given weight by the number of stars you give (1-5). I'd love for you to vote 5 stars for me if you think I could ignite a little spark for fitness!

Please, check it out, read all the sparks, vote for the ones you think will make the most impact. And if you happen to think "Mama Hits Pavement" would be a good addition, you have my thanks. :-)

I voted for you! I thought about going to FitBloggin...and I was really, really tempted. But it just doesn't work out right now for us. There is the $$ concern, but also this is a really, really crazy time for my husband's work and, well, if it were any other year, I'd be there...sigh!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You're actually the one who clued me into the conference in the first place. I hope I can go, but a few bloggers are really pulling ahead in votes. To be fair - they have some pretty awesome sparks to be competing against. I never really had a chance. :-p
DeleteI just voted for you!!! I hope you get chosen. I know how you feel, I am dying to go to a conference!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm trying to not get my hopes up... Maybe next year I'll actually buy a ticket. :-p
