about the voting

your mom's philosophy contest is about celebrating your mom this mother's day by sharing her wisdom—the heavenly advice that's shaped the person you are today.

over 1,000 entries have been submitted since april 11. based on your ratings, the top 20 have now been selected and will be posted on sunday, may 11 from 12:00 a.m. until 11:59 p.m. throughout the day, they will be randomly displayed so that no story receives more exposure than any other.

visitors may cast their vote by choosing a story and selecting “vote for this story.” they will be asked to enter their email address, then need to select “vote.” each visitor may vote only once, and must do so by 11:59 p.m.

the winner will be the story receiving the most valid votes by 11:59 p.m. in case of a tie, the story with the higher rating prior to may 11 will be the winner. if there is still a tie, the story viewed the most times during the entire promotion period will be deemed the winner.
