Another online photo contest - Dutch vote request!

I am entered in a "People of Amsterdam" photo contest, a portrait image of daily Dutch living. This was at an event I covered, pre-party drinks and snacks, very Dutch.
If you don't mind voting for me click on "Stem nu" to go to the vote page. (Sorry for the Dutch :) //peopleofamsterdam.nl/participants/4727
You can vote daily :) Four more days to go I think.

If it is not easy to read I can try to help (not like I am good in Dutch though)
Top three get the image in a gallery here, all exposure is good exposure (even slightly over exposed can work!)
Thanks everyone!

Thanks for trying Johanna, hmmm, I wonder if it is blocked outside of the Netherlands?
The linked page should have my image (a man with a glass of wine and a napkin with snack in hand in front of a woman holding the snack tray)
Click the "Stem" button under the word VOTE! to vote for the image which brings you to the social network selection.
Then you can click one of the four social networks to use to vote with (Facebook, LinkedIn, Hyves, or Buzz)

It took me some time to figure it out as well (Bad Dutch) - but some websites are blocked outside of the country.
I'm in 5th place today, only two more to get some publicity out of the contest...
My entry is: //peopleofamsterdam.nl/participants/4727
Maybe you an navigate to the page from the home page.
The home page is //peopleofamsterdam.nl/ and the link "DEELNEMERS" goes to the image pages. Mine has my name under it "Kimon Inglessis"

The "BUZZ" page has a scroll of recent votes etc. So if you voted successfully it will show on BUZZ page. (but I do not see my vote from this morning...)
argh... if you look at the BUZZ page it says I just voted for another entry today... oh well... try to figure out what happened to my vote, I guess I know now.
Thanks for your efforts and help guys I know its super extra hard in Dutch (trust me on that)

I did me stemming and got to a page containing this:

Meedoen of stemmen is simpel

Je logt gewoon in via een van je sociale netwerken.

and a bunch of social network icons on the right side of the page

I hit the facebook icon and it had me doing some login stuff for what presumably is a peopleofamsterdam facebook page, then it asked too many questions.

I can't say for sure if I voted or not, but I had a little go.

It must be redirecting you, when I click your link it goes to the home page for me.
When I click the link I added it goes directly to my photo with my name Kimon Inglessis a small image of me in my Raybans and the larger image of man with wine and serving woman.
I can not see many US or UK web sites here, and I know some NL ones are blocked out of this country as well.
Thanks for the try. If it was so easy I would not have voted for someone else today!!!

Yes, using google translations, I tried.
The instructions roughly translate as:
1. "Vote Here
2. "To Vote
3. "You simply log in via your social network" (and it lists four choices)

but then, as

raish says, they ask too many questions and essentially want
control of your (in my case, Facebook) account in return for your vote.

So, sorry

amsterdamman, couldn't do it.

Ok, your link took me to your picture, but there was not "vote" button anywhere. I really did try...
