WWTI and EWTI Scoop Wars: How Voting Works & How to Win

What is WWTI and EWTI Scoop Wars and who runs it?

WWTI and EWTI Scoop Wars is a public online ballot run by WWTI and EWTI in New York. The ballot sits on the Second Street platform at informnny.secondstreetapp.com, which is the same host the organizer uses for other promotions on that platform. The organizer name on the listing is WWTI and EWTI, and that is the name to match against any later announcement.

Quick facts

No city is named for this ballot, so the geography on this page stops at New York and the organizer. A city-level claim should wait until the ballot itself names one. A reader looking for a city page will not find one here, because no city is known for this listing.

Why the organizer name matters

The organizer name appears in both the program title and the platform listing, so the two can be matched without guessing. Writing the name the same way on every page also helps a reader who searches for the program title. That matters when a reader finds the ballot through a search for the name and wants to confirm it is the same program as the Second Street listing.

A reader who lands on the Second Street address directly sees the promotion title, the Ballot (VotingBallot) type and the closed status before anything else. Those three items are the fastest way to confirm that the page in front of you is the 2025 Scoop Wars ballot and not a different promotion run on the same host. The same host also lists unrelated photo and gallery promotions, so the title check is worth doing before any vote is cast.

Keeping the program name, organizer and platform together in one note makes later comparisons easier. When a supporter, a parent or a newsroom staffer asks which ballot is meant, the answer is the same three-part description every time: WWTI and EWTI Scoop Wars, run by WWTI and EWTI, on Second Street in New York.

When did the 2025 Scoop Wars ballot run?

The only confirmed edition is 2025. Its window ran from July 29, 2025 to August 6, 2025, and the Second Street listing shows the promotion as closed.

This is the first confirmed edition; whether it returns next year is not yet published; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

What the dates do not settle

Two dates anchor this program: the opening day and the closing day in the table above. No earlier run is confirmed, so the history on this page starts and stops at 2025. A reader comparing years has nothing earlier to set beside the 2025 window.

How does a supporter vote on this ballot?

The ballot is a public online vote. A supporter opens the Second Street address for the 2025 ballot, reads the entries listed there, and casts a vote through the controls on that page. The listing is typed as a Ballot (VotingBallot) promotion, which is a different format from the sweepstakes and photo gallery promotions the same host also carries.

Neither eligibility nor a per-voter cap is written into this listing; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

In practice the sequence is short: open the ballot, read the entries, vote through the page, and then check the listed dates. Because the window closed on August 6, 2025, a vote now needs a live ballot from the organizer rather than the 2025 page.

How does this ballot compare with other New York Best-of ballots?

Six other New York programs in this guide family share the best-of format and sit beside this ballot. They are separate programs with their own organizers and listings, so a reader should not merge them. For a search about Brooklyn, Queens or the Bronx, compare with Best of Brooklyn, Best of Queens or Best of the Bronx. For Westchester or the Hudson Valley, compare with Best of Westchester or Best of Hudson Valley.

The citywide sibling, The City's Best (Best of New York City), is a separate program with its own listing and should be read on its own terms. A supporter who wants to know which of these ballots a friend means should ask for the organizer name and the platform, because the Best-of label alone does not identify one program.

Reading the siblings side by side is useful for one reason only: it shows where this ballot's facts stop. The facts stated here cover WWTI and EWTI, the Second Street host and the 2025 window, and nothing beyond those. The siblings are cited here as neighbours in the same format, not as sources for this ballot's rules, dates or results.

How can a supporter strengthen support for a nominee in this ballot?

Outside help can raise attention for a nominee on a public ballot, but no tool, service or organizer promise can guarantee a result. Share the Second Street ballot address with people who want to vote, and ask them to follow the ballot's own controls rather than any shortcut. One clear instruction, such as the ballot address and the page's voting steps, usually works better than several links sent at once, because it leaves less room for a supporter to land on the wrong listing.

Keep the 2025 window in mind when planning. The ballot closed on August 6, 2025, so supporters need a live listing from the organizer before they can act. Any later ballot would carry its own dates on the platform, so planning should never reuse the 2025 window. For general steps on turning interest into votes, see how to get more votes online.
