Online Votes (10%)

As a means of demonstrating that your message/cause is reaching a wide audience, a portion of your score will be based upon the amount of votes that you can generate for your site. During the week of Wednesday, March 2, 2005 through Tuesday, March 8, 2005, tell your friends and family to visit your site and then have them go to the HiTech Quest website to vote for your site. By doing so, they will establish a "vote" for your site. The more "votes" you generate, the higher the points (maximum 10 points).

Criteria: Points awarded will be based upon a rank ordering of the projects by the number of votes received (e.g., if 50 projects are entered in this category, the 5 projects receiving to most votes will receive 10 points, the 6th through 10th projects will receive 9 points, etc.).
