Voting
The popularity of the models is determined by a two tiered internet voting system of Cyber Club members. Each week, the Cyber Club posts photos of a new Cyber Girls of the Week (CGOW). At the beginning of each month, the Cyber Club members vote for their favorite model from among the previous month's CGOW. The winner then produces four additional pictorials and videos and debuts as the Cyber Girl of the Month (CGOM) four months later (usually announced on the first Friday of the month). The first CGOW was Stephanie Heinrich in August 2000, and she also became the first CGOM in January 2001. At the end of the year the 12 CGOM's are entered into another online vote. The Cyber Girl of the Year is usually announced in April of the following year and becomes the Cyber Girl of the Year for that specific year. She then will produce additional pictorials and videos during the following year of publicity.
While the Cyber Girls feature began in August 2000, the first Cyber Girl of the Year didn't debut until April 2002 after voting was done on the 12 CGOM for 2001.

Famous quotes containing the word voting:
“Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing feebly your desire that it should prevail. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
“All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
