Geschreven door het bedrijf

Voting Academy is a round-by-round strategy training program built exclusively for active Colossal contest competitors. Founded by Omar Ruiz, a Baby of the Year semifinalist featured on Boston 25 News, Voting Academy was created because the information contestants need to compete effectively does not exist anywhere in the official contest materials. Colossal contests are not traditional popularity contests. They are charity fundraising competitions with a voting format. Most contestants enter with the wrong mental model and never adjust. Voting Academy exists to close that gap with specific actionable training for every round from Top 20 through Finals. Each training video is built for a specific stage of the competition covering the voting mechanics, donation strategy, dashboard signals, timing buffers, communication frameworks, and competitive psychology that most contestants never fully understand until it is already costing them. The training is built from direct contest experience, not theory. Voting Academy offers four individual round-specific training videos priced between $97 and $147 as well as a complete bundle covering every round from Top 20 through Finals. Supplementary resources including worksheets, templates, and checklist packs are available as add-ons for contestants who want additional tactical tools beyond the core training. Voting Academy also offers an affiliate program for former Colossal contest competitors who want to share the training with others competing in the same system. All training is delivered digitally through the Voting Academy platform with immediate access upon purchase. Products are designed to be consumed before the round they cover begins so every contestant walks in prepared rather than figuring it out under pressure. Voting Academy is independently operated and not affiliated with or endorsed by Colossal Management or any of its contests.

I am currently in a cooking Contest…

I am currently in a cooking Contest and Omar's strategies to get votes is very straight forward and sound. His methods to strategically garner support from friends and colleagues in tiers, and spacing out the ask works wonders. It will save you so much time and wasted energy in getting you the votes you need to win!!

I highly recommend this training, especially if this is your first time competing.

Patricia, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review as genuinely means a lot.

What you described is exactly the shift the Group 1 training is designed to create. Most first-time contestants approach their network all at once in the first week and wonder why enthusiasm fades before the rounds that actually matter. The tiered network approach and spacing out the ask protects your most valuable relationships for the moments when you need them most.

The fact that you recognized immediately that it saves time and wasted energy tells me you were already thinking strategically about your campaign. The training simply gave that instinct a framework to work within.

You are currently competing in Favorite Chef and you invested in understanding how to compete effectively before the pressure rounds arrived. That puts you ahead of most contestants who figure this out too late to fully use it.

Wishing you the very best heading into your next cutoff. 🙏

Omar had strategies that will help you gain competition traction

Omar had strategies that will definitely work, given a following that is willing to contribute. The competition is tough, but Omar offers instructions that are sure to hit and help you get some traction with your followers.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review, especially on the final day of Group Finals. That means more than I can express 💙

You identified something that sits at the heart of what the training is designed to do.

The strategies work when you have supporters who are ready to show up.

Plus, the training is built around helping you identify exactly who those people are, when to activate them, and how to make it as easy as possible for them to follow through.

You competed your way through multiple rounds of the People's Artist contest, all the way to Group Finals.

That is a genuine accomplishment that most contestants who started this competition alongside you never reached.

Whatever happens in the final hours today, you should be proud of how far you came & how seriously you approached this competition.

The fact that you were still investing in strategy, at the Group Finals stage, says everything about the kind of competitor you are.

Wishing you the very best in these final hours. 🙏

Favorite Chef competition

I was participating in the Favorite Chef contest when I came across the Voting Academy strategy training sessions.
After watching the Top 20 & Top 15 strategy training, I realized that I did not understand how the competition works. Listening to Omar explain the process, the strategy, and the amount of work, hours required to invest in the contest helped me see the reality of what it takes to succeed.
The training is very professional and well done. Omar explained all steps in simple and understandable language, which made it easy to follow his thoughts and understand the points he was making.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review as it means more than you know!

What you described is one of the most honest and valuable outcomes the Voting Academy training can produce.

Understanding what a competition truly requires before investing weeks of energy, time, and relationships into it is just as important as knowing how to compete effectively.

That kind of clarity is something every contestant deserves going in.

You watched the Top 20 and Top 15 training as an active Favorite Chef competitor and came away with a complete picture of what success in this type of competition actually demands.

The fact that you used that information to make a decision that felt right for you is exactly what this training is designed to support.

Thank you for your kind words about the training and for engaging with the material so thoughtfully. It was a genuine pleasure.

Wishing you all the best in whatever comes next. 🙏

Validation and Motivation to keep going!

I was happy to hear that I’m on the right track after watching the training and having my thoughts and concerns validated. I feel more motivated than ever to keep pushing forward and moving to the next steps whether it’s making it through to the end and beyond that to seeing how amazing my family friends and community truly are and how blessed I am! Thank you for sharing the insight!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review as it genuinely means a lot.

Hearing that the training validated what you were already doing is exactly what it is designed to do.

Sometimes the most valuable thing is not learning something completely new, but having confirmation that your instincts are right so you can move forward with confidence.

The way you are framing this experience especially seeing how your family, friends, & community show up for you regardless of the outcome, it's honestly the healthiest and most powerful mindset any contestant can bring into the late rounds.

Since you are currently competing in the SuperMom Quarterfinals and the fact that you are approaching it with this kind of clarity and gratitude, alongside a real strategic plan, the training puts you in a strong position heading into your next cutoff.

Wishing you the very best as you continue competing! Thank you for trusting Voting Academy with your campaign. 🙏

I’m currently competing in The People’s…

I’m currently competing in The People’s Artist competition, and I watched the training during the Top 15 round while sitting in 2nd place. What surprised me most was how much the contest is really about relationship building, timing, supporter organization, and long-term strategy — not just posting your link every day and hoping for votes.

The training helped me think more intentionally about donor outreach, supporter fatigue, preparing for 2x voting windows ahead of time, and building momentum before Group Finals instead of reacting late under pressure. I already started applying several of the strategies immediately by organizing my outreach, refining my messaging, and approaching the campaign more strategically overall.

I’d recommend the training to any contestant who is serious about advancing in the competition. It gives a much clearer understanding of how the rounds actually work and helps you avoid a lot of mistakes people make early on.

Thank you for this! This is exactly the kind of feedback that makes
the work worthwhile.

What you described about the shift from posting your link and hoping
to thinking intentionally about timing, relationships, and momentum
is the core insight the training is built around.

Most contestants figure that out somewhere between Top 5 and Group Finals when it is already costing them. You figured it out in Top 15 while still in second place. That timing advantage is real.

The fact that you started applying strategies immediately rather than
waiting tells me you are going to be difficult to beat in the rounds
ahead.

Good luck in Group Finals. I will be rooting for you.

This amazing training almost got us to…

This amazing training almost got us to win the competition. We went as far as the group finals what an experience with Omar! I attribute our success to his training and his advices. It was a blessing to have his help and guidance I will always remember what a great experience we had because of everything we followed in the training. Thanks appreciate you!

Thank you for this! It was a pleasure working with you throughout
your campaign.

One small clarification for anyone reading this.

You actually made it
all the way to Quarterfinals, which is even further than Group Finals.

That is a tremendous accomplishment in a national competition and you
should be proud of everything you achieved.

The training covers strategy and preparation, but the results always
come from the contestant who applies it.

You and your team did that
work...the training just gave you a framework to work within.

I am grateful you trusted Voting Academy and I wish you continued
success in everything ahead.

Omar's guidance was very thorough

Omar's guidance was very thorough, thoughtful, and clear. He broke each part of the process down step by step and laid out exactly what to do and when to do it. He has experience in winning himself, so he knows what he is talking about. I highly recommend taking a look at his trainings if you want an easy to follow plan for winning these competitions.

Thank you so much for this. It genuinely means a lot.

One small correction worth noting for anyone reading this. I competed in
Baby of the Year with my son Julian and we reached the semifinals. We did
not win the contest, but we learned everything about how to compete
effectively at the highest stages and that experience is exactly what the
training is built from.

I am glad the training gave you a clear and actionable plan to work with.
Your instincts about the contest were already strong. I just helped you
organize them.

Good luck Thursday and with everything that follows.

Colossal's Entrepreneur of Impact

I recently competed in Colossal's Entrepreneur of Impact, which is a nationwide competition allowing entrepreneurs to win $25,000, mentorship, and a feature in Entrepreneur Magazine.

Omar's Voting Academy gave me in-depth valuable lessons I could apply while competing. I was a finalist in the Group Finals and made it to the Quarter-Finals.

A note to remember when competing: The contest is a fundraiser for Gen Youth so the ultimate goal is to raise money for charitable causes. While free votes are great, the donor relationships with your network (family and friends) is what sets you apart. The dynamics in Group Finals shift once you reach the Quarter-Finals, Semifinals, and Finals. Don't worry though, Omar's Voting Academy will help guide you step by step through each round.

I hope this helps, Good Luck on your competition journey!

Antwoord van Voting Academy

Brandon, thank you for this. Watching you compete all the way from Top 20 through Quarterfinals of Entrepreneur of Impact was genuinely inspiring and your approach throughout the process showed real strategic maturity.

What you wrote about donor relationships setting competitors apart is exactly right and it is something most contestants only fully understand after they have already experienced what happens without them. The fact that you identified that distinction and articulated it so clearly for other contestants speaks to how seriously you took the process.

I am grateful you trusted Voting Academy with your campaign preparation and even more grateful that you took the time to share your honest experience here. Other entrepreneurs competing in the same system will find this incredibly useful.

Wishing you continued success and I hope our paths cross again.
