HOW IT WORKED

Uploader: For the first phase of the campaign, participants visited the NASA website and utilized Telescope’s Uploader product to submit their photos of the Super Blood Moon.

 Fan Feed: Select images were approved and displayed in a Fan Feed Gallery on the NASA website to show the Super Blood Moon around the world.

Share to Vote: For the second phase of the campaign, NASA selected 6 finalist photos out of 8,000+ submissions.  Voters could then share the photos to their Facebook timeline using #SuperBloodMoon to vote for their favorite. Each share counted as one validated vote.
