Hunter Hopkins Clinic (Dr. Lapp) is participating

A person can vote once, between July 1 and September 30 (then a new 3-month cycle will start).

Every vote is like a raffle ticket and increases the chance of your favorite participant to win. At the end of each month a winner is randomly chosen to win $25,000. At the end of a 3 months cycle, a jury will award a $50,000 prize to one of the 3 winners of the $25,000 prizes.

To keep up-to-date on current contests and know about upcoming contests, and to help plan submissions if you like, when something extra is required (a video, for example), you can join the Facebook fundraising group.

I checked the rules and they say:

Each person (whether a business owner or fan) may post one (1) vote per business during the contest period, which is currently July-September.

Duplicate votes from the same email address, or telephone number for text votes, are not valid and are not included in the random drawing conducted by our contest administrator, ePrize.

Each person may vote for multiple businesses during the contest period.

The winners are determined like this:

Votes from small business owners and fans accumulate between July 1 and September 30, 2011. Votes are like raffle tickets the more votes a business has the more chances they have to win.

At the end of each month (July, August, September), one (1) business is randomly chosen from all of the votes posted since the start of the contest on April 1. (i.e. votes from July carry over to August and September; votes from August carry over to September.)

While both fans and businesses may vote, the owner of the randomly selected business must also have nominated their own business after July 1 and before the random drawing in order to be eligible to win an Intuit Hiring Grant.

Those businesses who win monthly Intuit Hiring Grants worth $25,000 become Finalists who are eligible to win the Grand Prize Intuit Hiring Grant and have their award increased to $50,000

For the Grand Prize, our guest judge(s) will review the nominating comments, business website, facebook page and/or blog of the three (3) Finalists who win in July, August, and September.

The judge(s) will then determine which one (1) of the three (3) Finalists will win the Grand Prize $50,000 Intuit Hiring Grant by selecting the business that is most loved by its customers, vendors, employees, or local community.
