Second step - give a reason for contest goers to promote it by engaging your audience to vote. Just giving aware items isn't going to create enthusiasm or excitement. But, if people have to work to get the items (ask friends to vote, etc.), those people will be promoting the contest and you'll have that much more traffic to your site.

I've only got a few days left, and I haven't had much response (especially on Twitter).. Any ideas? I am really stuck on how to promote it, and nothing I've done has worked. Trying to scramble the last few days here to get some interest.
