Now that our freshman class has had a chance to settle in and customize their living spaces, we’re hosting a contest to find the best freshman room on campus. Freshman residents of Wehrle, Finegan and North Hall can enter by emailing a photo of their bedroom to edge@gannon.edu by Friday, September 30, 2011.

And it’s in your hands to pick the winner!

Starting on October 3, 2011, go to Gannon’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/gannonu and vote for your favorite room by liking their photo. Round 1 voting will end at noon on Friday, October 14 and the five rooms with the most likes will advance to the finals.

Edge staffers will film videos of the top five rooms. The final round of voting will begin on Wednesday, October 19, 2011, again on Gannon’s Facebook page. Final voting ends and the winner will be revealed on Monday, October 31, 2011 at noon.

The residents of the winning bedroom will each receive a $25 Visa gift card.

Start sending us your photos and get ready to vote!
