PSA Advisory Board votes on all submissions. This voting narrows down the entries to the finalists. The remaining entries are rank ordered, based on number of votes.

Any middle or high school in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania can participate in the school vote. Each school who participates gets one vote per category. Votes must represent the students’ voice. Votes from all schools will be tallied separately and rank ordered.

Anyone can vote during the public voting period. Regardless of how many votes are received, the finalists are rank ordered based on the total number of votes they receive during the public vote.
