Thank you to everyone who participated! After much deliberation, our esteemed judges at Salesforce have cast their votes. They chose based on what was memorable and taught accurately, and we asked that they take into consideration public voting.
Since deciding was so difficult, our judges picked 9 runner-ups, who will each receive an iTunes giftcard. And of course, they selected your 2010 GotBrainy Video Champ, who has won the $600 grand prize. Ooooo~
The main reason for this change is that we’ve been doing more than just ‘flix’ for the past few months. So we wanted a name that reflected all the stuff we’ve been doing to help you get brainiererer… er.
That said, the name change does not mean that we’re stopping with the videos! In fact, we’ve got our vocabulary video contest happening now:
***Compete to win $600 by making a funny video about an SAT word***
We’ve already begun accepting submissions! The deadline is 3/15/2010.
Anyone can enter, and we’ll have prizes for runner-ups and iTunes songs for anyone who submits 3 videos.
If you need to boost your grade, ask your teacher if s/he’ll give you extra credit for it.
Root-doot-doot-doot-da-doot! 10 weeks and 3,818 Brainypics later (whoa), we have our 10 Runners up and our Grand Prize Winner, as selected by our panel of judges. Ooohhh~ The Runners Up shall receive iTunes gift cards, and of course, our winner has won $200 to be split with his or her school.
Our judges are busy picking a worthy winner and some runner ups out of these 55 funny and creative finalists. We said we’d announce the results by the 10th but to give the judges enough time we’re aiming for the 13th cause we’re nice like that.
Enjoy!
