Contest Details
PETA's Sexiest Vegan Next Door 2013 contest will be broken down into three rounds: entry, finalist voting, and winners voting. You can enter the contest during the entry round only.
PETA will give equal consideration to three factors in choosing finalists and the winners:
- The total number of votes that you receive
- The enthusiasm that you demonstrate in promoting your entry and veganism
- PETA's assessment of your physical attractiveness
All entries must be submitted by 12 noon ET on March 8, 2013. At 12 noon ET on March 11, 2013, voting will open to the public to help PETA determine the finalists. Voting in the entry round closes at 12 noon ET on March 29, 2013 and we'll announce the top 20 finalists—the top 10 vote-getters (five male and five female) as well as the top 10 "judges' picks" (five male and five female), which will be determined by a PETA panel—by 12 noon ET on April 15, 2013. At that time, a new round of voting will begin, in which people will vote on the finalists to help PETA decide on the winners. The final voting round will end at 12 noon ET on May 3, 2013.
On May 9, 2013, the winners (one male and one female) will be announced!
The winners (one male and one female) will each receive a free Maui vacation, including eight days and seven nights of accommodations for up to four (maximum size of one-bedroom condominium) at a beautiful resort in Maui, Hawaii, and airfare for two from anywhere in the U.S. The trip is brought to you by HumaneTrip.com, the source for all your compassionate travel needs.
