Anchor readers to vote for Athlete of Year
Online contest
begins Friday, Jan.
26
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
Despite the fact the calendar
year has now turned
to 2018, 2017 still has a
little bit missing from it.
On fields of play all over
the North Shore last year,
student-athletes soared to
new heights, and in many
cases, took their team
along for the ride. 22nd
Century Media was following
the action with its
seven North Shore publications
and websites, documenting
the moments of
glory, as well as the agony
of defeat.
Along the way, every
week, papers like The
Glencoe Anchor selected
and interviewed a worthy
Athlete of the Week. At
the end of the month, all
Athletes of the Week from
the seven newspapers were
pitted against one another
in the popular Athlete of
the Month competition, for
which residents decide the
result by voting for their
favorite athlete online.
At year’s end, there are
12 winners, and we’re not
done just yet. Those 12
winners — along with six
at-large contenders selected
by 22CM staffers — are
about to vie for the ultimate
title: 22nd Century
Media Athlete of the Year.
The Athlete of the Year
competition is a two-week
online voting contest that
begins at noon Friday, Jan.
26, at GlencoeAnchor.
com, as well as the company’s
six other North Shore
websites.
Fans can vote daily for
their favorite student-athlete
until 5 p.m. Feb. 8.
To avoid voting spam and
abuse, we have restricted
the votes to one per IP address
per day with a special
feature to ensure votes are
being made by humans. If
votes are proven illegitimate,
they will be discarded
and the beneficiary of
the fraudulent votes may
be disqualified.
A winner will be announced
in the Thursday,
Feb. 15 issue of The Anchor.
