Contest Help

Welcome to the "Hero Next Door Contest" help page. Please click on a question below.

I nominated someone, and now I don't see them in the final voting round. Where did they go?

We had hundreds of great nominations. Unfortunately, we could only pick 10 finalists to participate in the voting round.

I want to invite more friends to participate, how can I ensure I am getting credited for those referrals?

We encourage you to use the "Tell-a-Friend" tool included in the contest's website to contact your friends. All messages sent from that tool will include a link that will allow us to credit your friends' votes towards your total recruiter tally.

You can also copy your unique promotion link and paste that link into your own email message through your email client. Once you have voted you will find this link on the "thank you for voting" page.

To get to our Tell-a-Friend tool, click the "email your friends" button on your hero's page.

I tried to send an email to my friends using your "Tell-a-friend" tool but wasn't able to or got an error message. What should I do now?

Make sure you are only including your friends' email addresses separated by commas and avoid including special characters. If that doesn't work, try to send your message to one friend first and then to two friends. Then try sending more.

You can also copy your unique promotion link and paste that link into your own email message through your email client. Once you have voted you will find this link on the "thank you for voting" page.

Why do you need my email address and how will you use it?

The Hero Next Door contest is an online contest, and so we ask for name, email address and zip code for all voters to ensure one vote per person. All voters will also receive periodic contest updates from Care2 with announcements. Any voter may unsubscribe from these emails at any time. This contest abides by Care2's Privacy policy: http://www.care2.com/help/general/privacy.html

I am a reporter or a blogger and would like to get more information about the contest. Do you have a media contact?

Yes, please send all your media requests to contestmedia@earth.care2.com.
