Did you vote for Jason?

I’ve got a question for you, Edmonton.
Did you go to the Globe and Mail’s Dream Journalism contest and vote for our man Jason as guest photographer for the 2010 Olympic Games in Vanvouver?
Are you doing it daily?
Consider the guilt trip over.
The contest continues the rest of the week, and then the top-10 photographers and writers will be judged by a panel. The winners get to head to Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics as correspondents.
Shouldn’t we have at least one Edmonton-area person up for the top prize?
Make Jason’s dream come true
Go, go, go (and vote)!
This one falls under a total bias alert, but you like voting for stuff online so we’ll call it a draw.
A good friend of the website, Jason Bouwmeester, is trying to win his way to photography glory at the 2010 Olympics.
Jason has entered the Globe and Mail’s content to be a guest photographer at the Vancouver games. (There’s a also a contest running for a guest journalist.)
You may have seen Jason’s photo work here, or in other fine establishments. He’s no hack behind the lens and you should head over to the Globe’s contest page, sign up (to vote and to have a chance at your own prizes) and help an Edmonton boy get to the big show.
The contest runs until the 22nd, at which time the top 10 vote getters will be judged (by what I can only imagine is an esteemed panel) on merit and not just Internet popularity.
Oh, and if you spot any other Edmonton and Capital Region entries, let us know.
But wait, there’s more!
Extra prizes: Jason says if you want one of his photos for yourself, he’ll be drawing names over the next 3 Saturdays. Just e-mail him at jbouwmeester@gmail.com to be included in his daily vote reminders, and the draw. Now you know why we want you to help with his dream; he’s a nice guy.
