You can have a say in who will be hired to explore our province, blog about it and get paid for it.

The search for the next Saskatchewanderer has reached the voting stage.

"Log on to (their website) and view the videos," said Director of Communications from the Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture, and Sport, Jennifer Johnson. "You'll see a large blue bar that says vote. It will prompt you to log in to facebook as the voting is tied to facebook."

The public's vote will narrow the field from 8 to 5 finalists. The final 5 will then be interviewed by the Ministry for the job.

"I love how enthusiastic these students are," Johnson said. "They love Saskatchewan, the love travelling, they're looking for adventure."

Last year's Saskatchewanderer, Andrew Konoff, recieved over 176,000 page views and gained around 2000 Facebook and Twitter followers.

Votes can be cast until noon on March 12th.
