Announcing the winners of the Street View trike contest

March 1, 2010

The votes have been tallied and the winners are in! Last October the Street View trike suggestions contest provided an opportunity for you to vote for your university campus, among a few other categories, to be featured on Google Maps. More than 25,000 suggestions were narrowed down to 24 finalists and more than a quarter million votes were cast.

Thanks to your votes, the most popular category was University Campuses with a whopping 70,000 votes! And we'd like to congratulate Rochester Institute of Technology who will soon be able to provide students, staff, and faculty – along with prospective students, reminiscing alumni, and empty-nest parents – with a hands-on look at campus life.
