When GiftRocket originally began the contest, we had no idea the number of nominations or votes that would actually get. We let the contest run for 3 weeks now and finally closed it out.
In terms of the numbers, we received 30+ nominations, which we narrowed down to 20 candidates across 4 categories, where 1500 votes were placed total.
