Kansas guard Travis Releford soars in for a windmill dunk in front of UMKC defenders Trinity hall, left, and Bakari Lewis during the second half on Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2011 at Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas University sophomore Travis Releford’s windmill dunk against UMKC on Jan. 5 has been selected as a 2011 Dunk of the Year nominee in a contest run by company Intersport on Facebook.

The 2011 Dunk of the Year is chosen completely by fan voting and will be announced on an hour-long ABC TV special on April 2.

The voting works like this: Each week for eight weeks, four college dunks are released at the “Dunk of the Year” fan page on Facebook.

The top weekly vote-receivers advance to the finals starting on March 7 and are highlighted in the ABC TV special.

Fans can vote once a day for Releford this week. Voting ends Sunday at 10:59 p.m. central time.
