For Your Favorite Kiss Photo: How Voting Works & How to Win

What the For Your Favorite Kiss Photo vote is and who runs it

For Your Favorite Kiss Photo is a listener photo vote run by WWMJ, the Maine radio station that publishes i95rocks.com and programs the I-95 Morning Show. The station asked its audience to send in photos of themselves in KISS gear, posted the best of the best entries on the ballot page, and handed the decision to what it calls the KISS Army, the band's fan base among the station's listeners.

The stake in the confirmed edition was concrete. The station framed the vote as deciding which awesome fans of the band would get tickets to the KISS show in Bangor in 2020, and the top three finishers each received two tickets. That makes this a prize ballot with a concert admission reward, not a ranking exercise with no payoff.

The ballot is a single page on i95rocks.com, at https://i95rocks.com/vote-for-your-favorite-kiss-photo/. Everything a supporter needs, from the entries to the vote form, sits on that page under the station's control.

The dated record for the KISS photo ballot

Confirmed runs of this ballot exist for 2019 and 2020, and both fell inside November. The month anchors the cycle: the station opened the entry and voting period in November and ran the ballot through the middle of the month in the confirmed edition.

The hardest date on the page belongs to the 2019 ballot. The station told supporters they could vote for up to three entries once per hour until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2019. That closing moment is the only day-level timestamp the ballot page carries.

Several facts sit outside that page. WWMJ has not printed day-level open and close dates beyond the month, has not posted a list of ballot categories, has not posted any supporter-side ceiling beyond the hourly rule, and has not named a year for the next edition; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

For anyone planning a future entry or a support effort, the gap is real: a November window and an hourly mechanic are known, but no published calendar exists to schedule against, so the station's own announcements on the I-95 Morning Show are the earliest reliable signal that a new edition has begun.

How a supporter votes on the KISS photo ballot today

The mechanic is simple and entirely on the station's page. A supporter opens the ballot at i95rocks.com, scrolls through the posted photo entries, and votes for the fans whose KISS gear photos they like best. The form accepts up to three entries per visit.

The hourly rule is the defining constraint. Each supporter may vote for up to three entries once per hour, so a single session exhausts the allowance and any further support waits for the next hour to begin. Across a November window that closes mid-month, the supporters who return hour after hour in the final days carry the most weight.

Because the vote form lives at i95rocks.com under the station's control, no separate platform account, round structure or nomination stage stands between a supporter and the ballot. The entry collection happened through the I-95 Morning Show's call for photos, and the public vote is the single visible stage on the page.

For a supporter backing a specific entry, the practical routine is therefore fixed: visit the page, spend the three votes, note the time, and return when the hour has rolled over. Nothing on the ballot page suggests any additional step, and no published rule adds a registration requirement to the process.

Where this ballot sits among Maine's public votes

Maine runs a busy calendar of public-vote programs, and most of them are best-of ballots with a business or service angle. The siblings on this site include Best of the 207, Best of Maine, the Kennebec Journal Readers' Choice, the Maine Parade of Homes People's Choice, Maine Restaurant Week Diners' Choice and Mainebiz Readers' Choice.

For Your Favorite Kiss Photo stands apart from all of them in two ways. Its subject is not a business category but a fan photo: the entries are listeners of the I-95 Morning Show photographed in KISS gear, and the judges are fellow fans of the band. And the organizer behind it is a radio station rather than a publisher, chamber or event producer, which keeps the whole program on the station's domain.

The prize shape differs too. Where a readers' choice program awards a title a business can advertise, this ballot awarded concert tickets, two apiece for the top three finishers, for the KISS show in Bangor in 2020. That makes the audience narrower and the stakes personal: the people competing are fans, not merchants, and the reward is a night at a show rather than a plaque.

Strengthening support for a KISS photo entry

The hourly mechanic is what support in this photo vote rests on. A backer who wants to move an entry up should plan returns across the day rather than a single push, because the ballot allows up to three entries voted once per hour and every hour that passes is an unused allowance.

WWMJ's ballot page carries no published statement about outside help, vote purchasing or automated voting, so there is no organizer guidance to lean on either way. What the page does publish is the hourly cap itself, which is the rule any support effort has to work within.

The most effective legitimate move is also the simplest: the entries are photos of real fans, so an entrant who shares their own photo with friends, family and fellow KISS fans, and asks each of them to spend their three votes and come back hourly, is doing exactly what the ballot is designed for. Our votes guide walks through that kind of outreach in more depth, and our award-votes page explains how paid support is generally handled on ballots of this kind.
