We are still working on getting the top 10 up on our website, but you will be notified once this happens. Voting will run from the end of this week/beginning of next week through March 10<sup>th</sup>. Voting
will be on the American Rivers website and open to the public. The photo with the most votes will be the face of National River Cleanup during 2017 and featured on our blog, social media channels, publications, and website!</div>

Why are your volunteers so great? What’s the weirdest/funniest/craziest item you found during your cleanup? Do you have
an inspirational story to share about your cleanup? Following the end of the voting period, my hope is to spotlight a different top 10 picture (and its story) each week on the National River Cleanup Facebook page – if you aren’t friends with me yet there,
add me now (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008610012230" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487764186903_29977">Lowell National-RiverCleanup</a>)!</div>
