Interact Intranet call for public vote in deciding winner of global nonprofit competition  

Interact Intranet, the intelligent intranet software company, today announced seven finalists in their global nonprofit competition.

Each of the 7 finalists, selected from over 50 entries, has produced a short video detailing why they think they should be the winners of this fantastic competition. The public simply have to watch each video and then vote for their favourite.

Interact CEO, Dr Nigel Danson comments, "Each of the finalists are worthy winners, which is why we need the public to help us decide who should win the top prize. The public vote is also a great way for Interact to help raise awareness of each of the nonprofits' causes, which will hopefully generate more donations in the future. We really hope the public will get involved in helping us make this tough decision."

• War Child - provides life-changing support to the most vulnerable children whose families, communities and schools have been torn apart by war.
