Starting Tuesday, October 23rd, the vote for Community Crusader will begin on CNN Heroes: Ordinary people, extraordinary achievements.  There are six categories of heroes and the winner of each category will be honored.

"CNN Heroes culminates in a live global broadcast from the American Museum of Natural History in New York on Thursday, December 6 at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT, 2 a.m. Dec. 7 GMT, 10 a.m. Dec. 7 HKT).

"CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute" -- hosted by CNN's Anderson Cooper with Christiane Amanpour -- honors the most outstanding viewer-nominated CNN Heroes as chosen by a blue-ribbon panel of world leaders and luminaries."


Matt and Jessica are included in this group representing Kiva in the Community Crusader category.

Does anyone know how CNN will  honour the winners in each category?

Here's CNN's video for their 'heroes' entry: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/specials/2007/05/24/heroes.the.flannerys.cnn

The donation figure is way off though.

I just voted, but they're not going to win with just 4% of the vote. Josh Sundquist has 51% - no doubt because he's working hard at stuffing the ballot box:

"To vote, just put a checkbox beside my name and click "Vote." To vote again, just click "reload" in your browser. NOTE: It takes about 15 minutes for your votes to show up in the vote tallies. But don't worry, they all get counted!"

And that's the trouble with these online polls....
