We’ll also be running daily WeChat Flash Voting for select categories on our account from November 19-December 5. You will only have 48 hours to vote for each non-open vote category – so act fast!
The daily WeChat flash votes will be tallied up and awarded on a weighted scale, with 100 votes going to first place, 50 votes to second place and 25 votes to third place. These votes will then be added to the overall total.
Please note: We monitor for suspicious voting patterns, and reserve the right to disqualify any venue we deemed to have cheated. No buying votes – you have been warned!

Is your choice not listed in the daily WeChat vote? Message our account “[Category]: [Your Choice]” and we’ll count it as a write-in vote. One write-in vote per user only. Submissions sent after the vote closes will not be considered.
