AMW- Choose Your Favorite Hero










America’s Most Wanted Wants You To Choose Your Favorite Hero

2008 AMW All-Star Contest Nominations Now Open


(Feb. 6, 2008) - America’s Most Wanted, television’s top crime-fighting show, is once again asking the public to help give special recognition to the police, firefighters, EMTs and other first-responders who dedicate themselves to protecting us.


The fourth annual AMW All-Star Contest, sponsored by Sprint Nextel, kicks off today (2/6/08) with the opening of nominations. Any first-responder is eligible for nomination, and the process is simple. Go to AMW.com to fill out a short online form naming a first-responder and explain what makes this person an All-Star.


Voters will select eight weekly finalists, and each finalist will be profiled on America’s Most Wanted (Saturdays, 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT on FOX). Through their online votes, the public will choose the grand-prize winner. In May, AMW Host John Walsh will present the 2008 AMW All-Star winner with a check for $10,000 at the NASCAR SPRINT Cup Series™ All-Star Challenge at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina.


Nominations are open at AMW.com until noon (ET) on April 1, 2008. Members of the public may vote for their favorite first responder once a day, every day. Finalist voting runs through midnight April 13, and the grand-prize winner voting will run April 17-May 6.


As in previous years, thousands of police officers, firefighters, EMTs and other first responders are expected to be nominated. Each one is a hero, but only one will become the 2008 AMW All-Star.
