You can vote for your favorite burgers online, and the QR code to vote can be found in the official burger passports.
Using the passports, you can fill out your information and then get it stamped every time you visit a restaurant and try their creation. If you get it stamped at 5 or more restaurants during the week, you can mail it in to win cool prizes from the Georgia Beef Board, who is sponsoring the event.
