100% of donations go directly to the venture who collects the most votes!
The winner will be decided live on June 18, 2025 at the 2025 NEO Showcase Event.
Here’s how it works:
1. RSVP to get one free vote!
Each event RSVP gets one free vote at ticket checkout. Plus, you’ll get another free vote when you show up in-person at the event!
2. Purchase additional votes!
Votes are “purchased” in the form of donations. Additional vote purchases directly increase the Crowd Favorite Award prize pot (and your favorite participant’s chances of winning it!)
3. Voting ends at 12pm on event day!
You can cast your votes anytime from now until 12:00pm EST on Wednesday, June 18, 2025.
4. Find out who wins live!
