How does voting work?

Our competing priests will be vying for two trophies, the People’s Choice and The Judges’ Choice!

Taste and vote for the best gumbo in this culinary competition to select the "People’s Choice Award". Vote early and vote again once you taste the gumbo! Votes cost $1 and support the mission of John Paul The Great Academy.

You will purchase tokens to vote for your favorite gumbo as you make your rounds to each tent
