How to Vote for the Serco People’s Choice Award #SVTCPC18

Who’s your favorite for the Serco People’s Choice Award? Pick one of these 24 nominees in the other 7 categories and then vote for them using #SVTCPC18 on Twitter or Instagram (or the FB Messenger bot, ‘Walter’; details below.) (FYI: All nominees have already been evaluated -and the winners have been determined- in each of the 7 other categories, you are voting for your favorite of the 24 nominees to get an award in the 8th category, the People’s Choice category.) All nominees are candidates, and anyone can vote for a favorite. SCROLL DOWN FOR SAMPLE VERBIAGE.

Voting has started.

Where to vote:
Public social media posts that use hashtag #SVTCPC18 AND the name of the nominee (or company name or organization name). Use the following: Twitter or Instagram (set to public), or a private Facebook Messenger note to “Walter” (see details below). We’ll accumulate the votes all thru April, and on May 2, we will display a social wall with all the votes on a big screen.

When to vote:
Voting has begun! Anyone who is not a bot can vote. Of course, business associates can vote, and/but family and other fans are also welcome! Voting will continue throughout the month of April and thru to the end of the gala on May 2. Attendees will vote during the event and we will announce the tally/winner at the end.

New this year: Send a direct vote to the social wall via FB Messenger/ aka the bot ‘Walter’: Anyone who doesn’t have a Twitter or Instagram account, or doesn’t want to change his/her account to public: use “Walter”, the Walls.io Facebook Messenger bot to post directly to the wall. It’s easy. Open your Facebook Messenger, compose a ‘new message’, and type Talk to Walter into the TO line. Once that populates, type out your enthusiasm for your nominee and remember the hashtag. (E.g. I want [nominee name] to win. She is the best. #SVTCPC18) — BTW, “Walter” accepts pictures as well. Send the picture first, then follow it up with a message and the hashtag. (‘Walter’ is active now already.)
