HOW SHE Awards VOTING WORKS

Your account will be credited with 1 voting credit per day immediately you create an account. The 1 credit will allow you to vote once for 1 nominee. In case you would like to vote more than once for more than one nominee, you will be required to buy more voting credits. You will be able to vote as many times as your voting credit allows.

You can also vote without login or signing up. Simply go to the nominee you would like to vote for and click Express Vote. This option does not give you any free voting credits.

MUST ONE PAY TO VOTE?

Kindly note that Buying voting credits is optional as we have already made a provision for 1 free vote per day when logged in. In case you would like to vote more than once for more than one nominee, you will be required to buy more voting credits. You will be able to vote as many times as your voting credit allows.

WHY DO WE CHARGE TO VOTE?

Organizing and managing a prestigious awards program like SHE AWARDS requires substantial resources across various aspects, such as infrastructure, technology, personnel, marketing, production, and logistics. To ensure the program's sustainability and continuous growth, SHE AWARDS implements a voting fee that plays a crucial role in supporting its operations.

Charging a fee for voting serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it helps offset the significant costs associated with running a large-scale awards program. These expenses include maintaining state-of-the-art infrastructure, utilizing advanced technology platforms, recruiting a dedicated team of professionals, executing effective marketing campaigns, ensuring seamless production, and managing complex logistics.

Importantly, the revenue generated from voting fees is not solely for financial gain. SHE AWARDS prioritizes reinvesting these funds back into the program to elevate its quality and impact. By doing so, SHE AWARDS aims to enhance the awards program's overall experience, expand its reach to more aspiring entrepreneurs, and create additional opportunities for participants.

Reinvesting the revenue enables SHE AWARDS to introduce innovative initiatives, offer valuable resources and support, and continuously improve the awards program's value proposition. It allows for the development of tailored services, such as mentorship programs, training workshops, networking events, and access to a broader entrepreneurial ecosystem.

By charging a voting fee, SHE AWARDS promotes an engaged and committed voting community. Participants who invest in the voting process are more likely to carefully evaluate the nominees, make informed decisions, and actively contribute to the success of the awards program. This fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility, ensuring the integrity and credibility of the voting outcomes.

In summary, the implementation of a voting fee in the SHE AWARDS serves as a vital mechanism for sustaining the program and empowering entrepreneurs. It enables SHE AWARDS to cover essential operational costs, reinvest in program enhancements, expand its reach, and ultimately deliver a remarkable experience for participants.
