Here are the details:
We are in the top ten for the IKEA makeover contest!!
What this means is now we are in the running for $50,000 in Ikea products and a $5,000 cash prize - and we need you and everyone you know to help! We have until August 22 to get as many votes as possible. You can vote for Old Town's video, titled "Old Town Lansing- Just a little past normal..." on the Ikea site. (Directions are below.) Voting will compromise 30% of the final decision made by Ikea judges. You can vote once per email address and tell your family and friends to do the same!
Thanks so much to Such Video, Redhead Design Studio, Preuss Pets, the Headroom Salon and Pablo's and everyone else in Old Town for all of their help with the video!

7. Click on the link and submit your vote
8. Cross your fingers and tell all your friends to vote for Old Town!
The video looks great, and with 1060 votes so far, OTCA is currently in the lead (a business called "All Dressed Up" in Illinois is in second place with only 639 votes). Even though our friends in Old Town are in a strong position to win the prize from Ikea, they still need your vote.
Watch the video, register for the contest, and place your vote. It only takes a couple minutes, and you'll be helping a great Michigan-based organization along the way. We promise you'll get a warm, fuzzy feeling by helping out!
Note: There are two other Michigan companies in the contest –– Synergy Soup Interactive and Black Lotus Brewing Co. –– although, they don't have anywhere near as many votes as OTCA. Which is why we still encourage you to go vote for them.
