2021 Alumni of the Year Voting

A special voting page for memoryBlue alumni and staff.

Help Pick the 2021 Alumni of the Year Finalists

And win a bunch of cash – $2,000 in prizes!

Here’s the situation: The 7th annual memoryBlue Alumni of the Year program hauled in an amazing number of high quality applicants! This was the strongest, deepest set of initial entries we’ve ever seen in the seven year history of the program.

So amazing, in fact, that we CANNOT pick the three candidates to make the Finalist stage on our own. We need your help.

To sweeten the pot, we’re going to pay out $2,000 in cash prizes to several lucky alumni or current employees who cast votes.

What we are doing about it: We’re asking you to help us and we’re paying well!

  • Every single memoryBlue alum and current staff member gets precisely ONE vote.
  • Read about our amazing ten Semi-Finalists below.
  • Use the form at the end to submit your top 3 choices IN ORDER.
  • A Semi-Finalist earns 5 points for a 1st place vote, 3 points for a 2nd place vote and 1 point for a 3rd place vote. The top three point earners will be our three official Finalists.
  • Your submission earns you ONE entry in our cash prize drawings – where we’re going to raffle off one $1,000 and ten $100 prizes to the voters!
  • Voting closes at 11:59pm (ET) on Thursday, Mar. 18th.
  • Vote early! We’re going to hold $100 drawings at 10am and 4pm every single day starting on Monday, March 15 running through Thursday, March 18th. On Friday, March 18th, we’ll announce the three Finalists and the two last drawing winners – a $100 winner and the $1,000 winner!
