How does it work?

Weekly finalists are released on MaxPreps every Tuesday and voting is conducted in a special poll. Voting ceases at noon on Mondays. The winners are announced the next day along with the next week's nominees.

Participants may vote as many times as they want. It's a competition. Last week over 220,000 votes were cast! So far this school year over 1.8-million votes have been cast.
