Hello to you all!
As you hopefully have heard by now, YOU have been selected for your exemplary and inspiring permaculture designs as the Top 5 Finalists for this year's Permaculture Design Contest! โจ๐๐๐ฅ
Voting for the Grand Prize winner, done by PINA members only, has already started. Try to rally as many of your friends, family, and colleagues to (A) join PINA at the $20/year level or higher, and then to (B) VOTE for you!
Please keep in mind this is one of PINA's Membership campaigns. We are hoping to get NEW members as a result of our Design Contest. Our monthly newsletter is more than valuable enough for a $20/year membership and we have a whole lot more value beyond the newsletter in our Media Library.

PINA is growing permaculture awareness planet wide and supporting permaculture projects like yours across North America. The more members we have, the more good work we can do! Thank you for your consideration.
How to Vote - please let your people know that after you become a PINA member to sign into the Membership Portal area, you click here to review all the designs and cast your vote:

This takes you to the webpage where the voting occurs. Each of you has your own mini-webpage highlighting your project. Check it out and remember to VOTE FOR YOURSELF if you haven't!
NOTICE: As per our Rules and Regulations page, we request no more than 10-15 minutes of your time THIS FRIDAY 11/22 - 8pm ET, 7pm CT, 6pm MT, 5pm PT - for our Design Contest Panel Discussion.
This helps put a face to the proposal and allows you to connect with PINA members in a more personable manner. We will edit the video to share on your mini-page, and for your promotional efforts, social media's, etc.
This will be a Panel Discussion wherein I go around the group asking you each the same 3 questions about your project. You are encouraged to attend the whole 1 hour session, but if your time is limited you may leave as needed.
Everybody - please email me back if you can or cannot make this event, or if you have a tight time window, etc.
Ideally, we can get all 5 of you on a 1 hour discussion/zoom!
The questions you will be asked are:
- Tell us your name, your location, and the title of your project
- Summarize your project and it's potential impact
- Ask PINA members to consider voting for YOUR project - why should they vote for you?
โZoom link for the Friday panel discussion. See you there? I hope so!
Any other questions or comments, please do not hesitate to email me at any point.
I apologize for the lateness of this request, but am looking forward to it greatly!
Again, I congratulate you on your great work and I hope YOU win the Grand Prize ;)
