LET THE VOTING BEGIN!

our contest (<--click for link) has officially closed and it is now time to begin voting for which whale emoticon should win. Here are a few basic guidelines for voting:

• voting ends very early in the morning on 8/1
• you can vote for your own entry
• you can vote from multiple computers/devices
• the poll can be found in the upper right corner of this blog
• and remember, one of the major goals of this contest is to increase viewers so feel free to recruit friends, family, even that whale fanatic living down the street to vote for your own entry or your favorite entry.
• the entry with the most votes when the poll closes will receive a special prize and their symbol in the title of our facebook group (as well as probably in many of the hailwhales posts). 
• in the result of a tie, a new three day long poll will be created for viewers to vote between the tied emoticons.

MAY THE BEST ENTRY WIN! :)
