Shelter Challenge
-
What are the "dark horse" prizes they mention for the ones who make it in the top 10 but not that top 3? Is that just recognition, nothing else?
-
Keep voting.
There's more at stake than just the top three prizes.
Each week a $1000 prize is awarded (I think random) and there's a new prize this time - Champion Challenge Award - for the shelter with the most cumulative votes in all three of the year's races.
The Dark Horse prizes are reserved for rescue organizations that have never won any other prize in any past Challenge or in the current Challenge. This includes Final, State/Regional, Weekly, Story, Photo, and other special prizes. I don't think BRAT would qualify since they did receive weekly and maybe state prizes in the past.BRAT has a chance for one of the prizes – keep voting! We have until December 19.

You can find BRAT by typing in "basenji" in the search box and entering the state of Texas.
You will be asked to identify an animal photo to prove you are a person and not a robot.
That's it.
This voting round begins on January 10, 2011, and ends at midnight (PT) on March 20, 2011

There is a story challenge called "New Beginnings". The winner gets a 3,000 grant for their rescue. You can enter your story until February.
Nayru's is here.
This is on the same site as the Shelter Challenge. :)
-
Kewl! Btw, everyone should submit stories both there and on BRAT page. :)
-
I redid Nayru's story so I had the BRAT name in there correctly. I'm hoping her story is one of the few that will be picked for voting! http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ars/story/heaven-through-her-ears142
-
YEAH! Please post if she is!

Anyone else having issues with voting using IE. I keep getting a timed out notice. I have done everything. It's okay, can use Firefox but very strange.

There were a number of people having trouble over this past weekend.
I could not get on Petfinder on Friday afternoon and I gave up.
