Vote for Your School Star This Week

Readers can pick their favorite high‑school athlete each week by voting on the Cincinnati. com site or app. The window to cast a vote opens after the previous week’s winners are announced and closes at 4 p. m. Friday for activity that ended on February 8. Every hour, a voter may submit one choice, but the system treats shared Wi‑Fi as a single IP to stop people from resetting their vote limit by clearing caches. If several friends share a connection, each should briefly turn off Wi‑Fi before voting again.The competition covers every sport in the high‑school season, so whether it’s basketball, soccer or track, a student can earn the title of “Athlete of the Week. ” When a player wins, families receive a digital certificate that they can download and print from a public Dropbox link. The new process replaces the old mailing system, which many parents found unreliable. After printing a certificate, families can send a photo to the newsroom for inclusion in an online gallery. To find the current ballot, scroll to the bottom of the story on Cincinnati. com. Votes submitted via e‑mail are not accepted and will be ignored.
