As we mentioned the other day, 2011 is the Port of Seattle’s centenary. One way they are marking the occasion is by sponsoring a video contest that King County schools participated in. Now there are seven semi-finalists, and the Port wants your vote for the People’s Choice Award. It’s only a little bit thrilling! Tuesday, May 11, is the last voting day!

In the Centennial Video Contest for Schools Playlist, you can view all 7 semi-finalists. After viewing each video, vote for your favorites by clicking the “thumb-up” icon below the playback box for the ones you like. Vote as much as you like and get your friends and families involved. You will pick the People’s Choice Award winner!
