Finalist voting terms

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all enjoying reading about our fantastic finalists (and their often humerous blogging!)

We just wanted to make clear that we can only accept one vote per person for both text and email voting (you can vote for as many finalists as you like, but your vote for each will only be counted once), so therefore multiple texts and emails for one person we won't be able to accept.

Please accept our humble apoligies for not making this as clear as it should have been

The IWCYC team

Following a fraught few hours and some technical challenges - we're finally there! (Let us know if you have any problems with any of the links to the finalists' profile pages).

Check out the finalists - all incredibly inspiring - as all of the Challenge entrants were and cast your votes.
