Ladies & gentleman, boys & girls. The ‘staches are here and we need your help to determine the “favorite.” Originally we’d posted we would select our top three favorites internally and post photos for the Community to vote on, but we have so many IZEA guys that’ve participated that we decided to take photos of them all and post them. YOU VOTE, YOU DECIDE.

So here’s the deal: each participant has had their mustache captured by photo, and named as well. A tipjoy account has been created. Tweet the name associated with your favorite mustache to vote for that one. You “vote” for your favorite mustache (you’ll notice we didn’t include faces so as to not sway votes) by making a donation (i.e., “give & tweet”). All you have to do is copy the tweet example, fill in the mustache name, and then the amount of your donation. Please note there is a $5 minimum starting amount for Tipjoy, but you can save what you don’t use for future donations. It’s pretty simple.

We’re tracking the donations by tags, and at the end of the voting period whichever ‘stache has the most votes will be titled the “winner.” The “winner” gets ALL donations given to their charity/cause of choice; IZEA will cover any Tipjoy fees associated with the donation. You can donate to the drive without voting for a mustache, but you can’t change that vote later.

Voting opens upon publishing of this post, and ends at 5pm EST on Thursday, March 19th.
