If you haven’t cast your vote and signed the petition for The Pixel Project’s Voters’ Choice Celebrity Male Role Model campaign, you now have a little bit more time!

Momentum is really building now. Our campaign is being featured on blogs, fan sites and Facebook pages and mentioned in tweets. There is an upswing in votes, and the gap between our original leader (Alexander Skarsgard) and his two closest competitors (Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal) is closing fast! With so much movement in the standings and so much chatter about the campaign, we decided it wouldn’t be right to shut it down now.

So we have added two weeks to the campaign, bringing it to six weeks altogether. The campaign will now close on 12pm Eastern Standard Time, 30 June 2010.

With the campaign extended, everyone will now get a chance to vote for one of our five fabulous nominees. For those of you who have voted but not signed the petition, here’s your chance to add your signature to the petition.

Remember: both voting and signing the petition is equally important because while your vote will get your choice of Male Role Model nominee selected, the petition will be sent directly to the winning nominees so we need as many signatures as possible to get their attention.

For those who are new to the campaign, voting and signing is easy to do:

Just go to our voting page at http://bit.ly/PixelVote and follow Step 1 to vote and Step 2 to sign the petition for your favourite actor. If you use Twitter, Facebook or have a blog, you can also follow Step 3 to help us spread the word!

Thanks so much to everyone who has participated to date. Let’s keep those votes and signatures coming!

Each year, the week leading up to Fathers Day is celebrated as National Men’s Health Week. This week, several activities are organized to raise awareness of preventable health problems related to men and to encourage early detection and treatment among men and boys.

The Pixel Project - It’s time to stop violence against women. Together. 

The Pixel Project (http://www.thepixelproject.net) is a global volunteer-led nonprofit organisation working to raise US$1 million in aid of the USA’s National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Malaysia’s Women’s Aid Organisation via an online fundraiser in which a 1-million pixel mystery collage of 4 to 6 globally known Celebrity Male Role Models will be unveiled online as donors “buy” each pixel for US$1.00. As part of efforts to recruit Celebrity Male Role Models for the mystery collage, The Pixel Project is pleased to launch their first Voters’ Choice Celebrity Male Role Model campaign through which a worldwide audience votes for the actor to be included in our A-list line-up which includes a Nobel Prize Winner and a Pulitzer Prize winner. The two nominees with the most votes will be invited to donate JUST 45 MINUTES of their time to have their picture taken for the collage and to join the global community in saying “It’s time to stop Violence Against Women. Together.” The superstar nominee who accepts the invitation will be revealed through the Pixel Reveal fundraiser which will be launched in the second half of 2010. Voting is open from 17 May 2010 – 17 June 2010 and you are invited to key in your vote and sign the online petition here: http://bit.ly/PixelVote.
