Countdown
The clocks are counting down, not just one clock, but two clocks. Once clock ends next Wednesday night, April 24th at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, and the other ends next Thursday night, April 25th at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. I am talking about the two clocks for this year's Top 100 and ProAdvisor of the Year Awards.
If you are a Nominee, your Official Application MUST BE COMPLETED by not later than 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday April 24th, it's just that plain and simple. You CANNOT go forward in this year's process if you have not completed your official application.
This year's 'Voting Period' ends at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday April 25th, ballots will not be accepted after that moment in time.
The reality is that there is no reason for anyone to wait until the very last minute for either deadline, so don't be a last-second hold out to either complete your official application or to cast a ballot. Now is the time to 'Get-R-Dun' if you have not done so already.
We are 'once again' (today) sending out reminder emails to every Nominee we show who HAS NOT completed an Official Application, this will be our last notification to you regarding the fact that you haven't taken this necessary action. Don't come crying to us after the deadline if you fail to respond because we know who we sent each notice to, every email that was delivered and who did and did not respond because we track 'open and read' for the emails we send. We can also see who starts, fails-to-complete and completes the applications themselves.
Squeaky violin player
And don't complain about not getting to vote either. If you fail to cast your ballot, you will have only had three (3) weeks to do so by the time we close the polls. The strings of my squeaky violin will play no harmonies for you.
