For at least the past six years, a host of partners have provided $25,000 to one Manitoba community which is ultimately voted Manitobaville. This year’s votes will be collected by text between 6:45 a.m. Monday, July 24 and Friday, Aug. 4 at noon. By 1 p.m. that day (Aug. 4), votes will be tabulated and a winner announced. Because of press deadlines, it is unknown if the video submission by Riverdale Community Centre will make it to the Top 10/12-day voting period. Finalists are announced sometime Wednesday, July 19; Banner deadline is Tuesday at 5 p.m. Manitobaville judges will select finalists based on needs and fulfillment of a community project, which is defined as something which “supports and enriches the life of community members residing in a town, village, hamlet or city.” Finalists will also be selected on creativity and overall effort in the submission, description of their project and impact/benefit the prize will have on the project. Videos which have the highest score in these categories will advance to the finalist stage.
