According to the rules the submission is only the first step. If several people close to Travis filled out and submitted the nomination he could qualify.......first round judging ..... Level of commitment to the cause, including time devoted - 30% of total score; Level of accomplishments and impact of the actions - 30% of total score; Inspirational value of the actions on others - 20% of total score; Sincerity and credibility of the statement - 20% of total score. The ten Nominees receiving the highest scores will be declared the potential Finalists. In the event of a tie, the Nominee with the most unique story, in the judges' sole opinion, will be named a Finalist. The second round of voting is public voting......."verified Finalists will be posted at www.animalplanet.com/hero for voting by the general public." FML members should be able to handle that :) So how bout you folks that know Travis and his personal info submit him so FMLers can bombard Animal Planet with the popularity vote. Wouldn't this be awesome! Dooks and Wardances Stephanie [Posted in FML 6278]
