Most of us one here have life experience and know that these things are meaningless nonsense but you just have to look at the comments on Facebook to realise that the world is full of naive folks who suck it up and believe it's real. This one is like the "competition" that the mayor has been promoting inwhich you pay a fee that allows you to claim to have been shortlisted but in both cases we are "competing" again a very small number of other airports who have paid the fee. Generally the winner is dictated by how much advertising you purchase or requires supporters to disclose their valuable personal data to vote. Just look at say car of the year or perhaps camera of the year etc.
