We recently wrapped up our “TpT Love” Video Contest (hosted on our Facebook page), in which we tasked TpT’ers with a single challenge: create a video “commercial” for us! We asked that the videos be hosted on YouTube and submitted within a time frame, but we left the content guidelines fairly open-ended in order to make room for creativity and originality.
From there, we waited for the entries to roll in — and were so excited each time a new submission came our way! We excitedly watched the videos, feeling so empowered and inspired by each one. We then had the difficult task of choosing 15 finalists to be published to the voting area on our Facebook page. We opened up voting to the entire community, and at the end of the week, we had our first prize, second prize, and third prize (TpT panel vote) winners. We asked our Facebook followers to join us in congratulating them, which we’d love for you to join in on here.
We also wanted to show the remaining finalists some much-deserved appreciation and love because we seriously believe they’re all winners. Some made us laugh, others made us cry, and some were so well-made that we wouldn’t be surprised if a few professional video-editors are among the finalists!
