The very talented Heather Johnston of Sogood.TV, a wonderful cooking blog, has been selected as one of 15 finalists for the YouTube challenge with the Food Network. If she wins she gets a chance to audition with major casting agents of the Food Network. The finalist with the most votes wins and you can help…

Make no mistake, this is a social media brawl and like all things YouTube, the voting is very wacky. One must watch the video at least until the voting prompt pops up at 10 seconds and then hit the thumbs up button or wait until the end of the video when the prompt pops up again. A general “like” for the video on YouTube or a comment is not a vote (to the surprise of many). Voting ends on August 16th and you can vote once a day. The more traffic the better.

You can also go to Heather’s blog and watch the video and vote. Here’s the permalink – http://www.sogood.tv/heather_johnston/2010/08/please-vote-for-me-in-the-food-network-youtube-challenge.html
