100% of donations go directly to the venture who collects the most votes!
Here’s how it works:
1. RSVP to get one free vote!
Each event RSVP gets one free vote at ticket checkout. You’ll get an extra free vote when you show up in-person at the event!
2. Donate 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 6pm on event day!
The winner will be decided live on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 at the 2026 NEO Showcase Event. You can cast your votes anytime from now until 6:00pm ET.
All donations are tax-deductible!
SEA Change is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and contributions are tax-deductible for income, gift, and estate taxes. You will be sent a donation receipt within two weeks of the Showcase Event.
