adonis 2010

In order for a soap hunk to be fair game for the Adonis 2010 contest, he must appear on a U.S. soap during the contest period (May 20-August 18, 2010), including actors who have announced plans to start during the contest semifinal period and with no announced plans (by May 1, 2010) to vacate his role before the end of the contest. Competitors may be either on contract or steadily recurring. Due to the nature of this contest, plans such as these announced after the contest begins will have no effect.
 

2010 VOTING RULES

THE SEMIFINALS: You may vote once per day per person per IP address. Virtually every actor on each current U.S. daytime soap is featured on the ballot during the contest's sole semifinal week. Voters will be asked to select their favorite hunk from each of the seven soaps during this first week. The highest vote-getter from each soap will receive a spot in the finals,

THE FINALS: You may vote once per day per person per IP address. Each valid submission will carry the weight of 1,000 votes, just as in the past few years. Please do NOT vote multiple times from all of your different e-mail addresses, nor may you jump from computer to computer. You will have to attest to this before submitting any ballots, and any evidence of foul play will invalidate ALL of your attempted ballots.
