this link should take you directly to the original entry. http://www.karmacanada.ca/contest/organizations/national-mefm-action-network/?search=helen
there has been a bit of confusion, as it looks like people need to register to vote, and that registration is a pain. Registration is not needed. Voting for any of the comments under National MEFM Action Network will add to the total vote count, but this is a direct link to the one with the most votes, if that is easier for people.

What is the purpose of voting for an ambassador? Is Helen someone you particularly want to win or someone picked at random?
Click to expand...

The ambassador accepts the prize on behalf of the charity--answering a mathematical question to do so (circumvents a legal problem about giveaways in some locations). It's possible the ambassador might need to be a Canadian, but I am not sure about the rules (confusing).

It seems they are lumping all the votes for the various ambassadors to the same charity together, but because it looks like a person needs to register, we got a high number of people applying to be ambassador.

Helen is one of the admins of the fundraisisng group who put in the entry, and she is Canadian. There are some other Canadian entries, but as I said, I can't tell whether that matters or not. Maybe only the charity has to be Canadian.


Paragraph breaks are my own (no breaks are in the original)
No purchase is required. The Contest begins on March 16th, 2015 at 0:00:01s (EDT) and ends on August 31st, 2015 at 23:59:59 (EDT). Ten (10) grand prizes (the “Grand Prize”) will be awarded in this Contest.

Each Grand Prize consists of an opportunity for each winner to nominate an Eligible Charitable Organization (as defined in the Official Contest Rules) to which the Sponsor will donate $2,000.00 if such an Eligible Charitable Organization is declared a Grand Prize Winner (as defined in the Official Contest Rules) Total donations to Eligible Charitable Organizations are $ 20,000.00.

To be eligible to participate in the Contest, a participant must be a legal resident of a Canadian province or territory; and have reached the age of majority in his or her province or territory of residence at the time of participation in the Contest. Winner must correctly answer a mathematical skill–testing question.

Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received by the contest closing date. Each Prize must be accepted “as is” and may not be transferred or converted to cash. The Prize may not be substituted. Any Prize that has not been accepted by the winner will be deemed forfeited.

By participating in the Contest, the participant acknowledges that he/she has read the official contest rules and agrees to abide by them. For official contest rules and for more details, visit www.karmacanada.ca
