Grand Prize: CALIFORNIA DREAM VEGGIE GETAWAY

First Prize: URBAN GIRL GOODIE BAG

Who wouldn't love to win this ultra-hip goodie bag packed with a $100 Gift Certificate to Alternative Outfitters, a pair of super stylish (and vegan, of course) Charmone Shoes, makeup products from Urban Decay, and a signed copy of the best-selling Skinny Bitch from VN columnist Rory Freedman.

 

Second Prize: VEGAN VICE PACKAGE

This fabulous package is oozing with indulgences vegetarians love most. Two lucky winners will each receive a gift box overflowing with vegan wine, decadent chocolate fudge from Allison's Gourmet, and a very fabulous handbag from Matt & Nat. How badly do you want to win this package? (two winners)

 

Third Prize: CHOCOLATE LOVERS GIFT BOX

Vegan superstore Pangea has custom created this box just for the 2007 Veggie Awards. Filled with an array of sumptuous dark chocolate treats from decadent chocolate spread, truffles and fondant to creamy peanut butter cups and chocolate-covered marshmallows, we regret that VegNews Magazine can't be held responsible for any ill-effects of consuming this prize. (three winners)

Plus, Weekly Giveaways!

Each week during the six-week long voting period, we'll be giving away a Vegan Essentials Spa Basket, brimming with cruelty-free bath goodies to relax and rejuvenate. Winners will be pampered with bath salts, body wash, soy candles, herbal tea and an exfoliating hand mitt. (six winners)

Wow, I'm really not up with a lot of this (favorite fake meats, celebrities, etc.)

[robert]

Put ME down for both!

 

I think I'll send a newsletter about this. If we get dozens of us, or more, like over 100 to vote for www.veganbodybuilding.com they would take notice They have featured me in the magazine 3 or 4 times so they are supportive of us.

 

Thanks for voting!

[Jessifly]

I just submitted mine!

[Guest]

I definitely added the forum as my favorite web page.

[Jessifly]

I definitely added the forum as my favorite web page.

me too!

[robert]

You both rock!

 

Thanks so much!

[Odidnetne]

I put it there, I've never even been to the ones listed.

[Guest]

I'm surprised the forum wasn't listed...especially since some of those sites don't seem to be all that popular compared to the forum.

[lotus]

i voted! I can not wait to see the results! Don't forget to mention Scapegoat, vegan tatoo and New Moon Massage Therapy, vegan massage! Also Akemi, and Stella's Barbershop for vegan salons. Chef Al for a vegan Chef. I wrote this all in at the bottom.

[robert]

That is great lotus! The more we write-in the better. It gives them more to think about for the voting options for next year.

 

If we get enough of the same names up there, we could have an impact on next year's voting for sure.

 

I'll send out a mass e-mail newsletter in the next couple of days, so let me know if there are other businesses you'd like me to list for those we should support.

 

Of course VeganEssentials should be on that list, since they are members of our forum community.

 

Thanks again everyone who has voted so far. I really appreciate it. Of course there are ways to win prizes too, so hopefully one of us will get lucky!

 

Keep spreading the love!

[gkleinman]

I submitted mine. They've got to represent Portland better in these choices!

[robert]

I know! We have the hottest Vegan spot in the country, and we're gonna let them hear it this year!
