How To Vote

Voting is closed as of 11:59 pm CST, January 15, 2009.

Thanks for participating.

Voters, it's time to do your part in the first-ever HomeAway blog contest, and here's how:

• Voting is not restricted to residents of the United States or Canada; votes from around the world are welcome.
• Browse through all of the HomeAway Getaway entries on this page:  View Entries.
• Each entry has a button at the top: "View the full post here to vote."
• Click that button to be taken to the individual entry on the contestant's blog, YouTube or Flickr page. You will still see a light blue HomeAway bar across the top of the page.
  
• Vote by entering your email address in the box inside the blue voting bar at the top of the page. Don't worry - we won't keep or distribute your email address - we only use it to confirm your vote. It's simply a means of making sure that entries are coming from real people and not robots or automatic scripts.
• Check your inbox for an email from blog@homeaway.com. Simply click the link in the email to verify your vote.
• Please note: You may vote for more than one entry, but you may only vote once for a particular entry.

Votes will be tabulated from 12:01 a.m. CST on Thursday, January 8, 2009, until 11:59 p.m. CST on Thursday, January 15, 2009.

The winner of the $5000 HomeAway Getaway will be announced via email to the winner and on the HomeAway Blog on Friday, January 16, 2009.
