I think Malala Yousafzai is an excellent choice for @TIME Person of the Year #TimePOY https://t.co/PNEahJZcOa

For her continuous courageous stand for what she believes and wants- Malala should be honoured #TIMEPOY #Malala #inspirational

Helping to stir up some angry tweets, TIME is promoting a Person of the Year face-off starting with Miley Cyrus, and Jimmy Fallon:
If it were between @MileyCyrus and @JimmyFallon for #TIMEPOY, who would you choose? https://t.co/Ioh0TNhf8I

While Twitter users are free to share their picks, TIME says its editors will choose independently, and not based on the total number of tweets for any one person.
