Hi there,
We were so grateful for your post surrounding the Auction for the Arts event that we had last spring at East Gloucester Elementary. We’re hoping you might help us again especially because you have such a network and a strong connection to the arts community.
Would it be possible to post about this contest? We applied yesterday and the voting ends Tuesday. We need to reach folks so they’ll vote!
Here are the details:
Bing, the search engine, has unveiled a discover bing campaign. They’re asking folks to file submissions for “Our school needs…” in competition for several large awards that will be awarded November 9th! The closing date was today.
East Gloucester Elementary is trying to win one of these awards.
From today until Tuesday October 26th, just a few short days, readers and the community can help us win by voting us to the finals!
The top 15 finalists will be announced Wednesday October 27, 2010.
And then we vote again and hopefully we’ll have the votes to be awarded one of the 4 prizes: one large award is $100,000 and three others are $50,000 each.
Help EGS win $100,000 from Bing’s (search engine) our school needs…contest
If we make it to the finals, please vote again from 10/28-11/5.
Winners are announced on November 9th.
If you have twitter or facebook you can vote without registering with the contest. If you don’t, there is a (we hope not too dreaded) sign up for the contest, not for your life (just a quick fill out less than Amazon shipping form)

One vote per person; click on the stars, hopefully you think it warrants a “5”
Aside: Folks who vote for American Idol or Survivor are having the phone number tracked to keep tabs on the voting. If you can vote for one of those maybe you can forgive the hassle of signing in to the contest to vote for a school!
Good Morning Gloucester
