Anonymous Video Submitter Contest Winners!
First, let's all (or most) agree this was a very interesting social experiment at the very least, and a lot of fun at the very most. Thanks to everyone who participated willingly (by submitting videos happily) and thanks to everyone who was miserable and had to wait out the storm.
Here's a breakdown of the top 30 videos sifted during the contest:
As first and second runner up, @mintbbb and @Zifnab will win any exclusive VideoSift t-shirt.
Again, thanks for hanging in there with the contest and for participating. It was a really interesting week!
(Maybe the next contest should hide the number of votes on every video. Ya think?)

GDGDCongratulations to the winners! On a side note @Hybrid, @arvana, and @burdturgler, from the list alone you guys had a good week.
campionidelmondoCongrats to @blankfist for getting wood!
EDDEven though I was a little late for all the fun, it still looked like you guys had a super happy *quality fun time!
Also, I'm not sure if this should be implemented as a permanent thing, but a week or two of this as an annual event sounds great.
siftbotAwarding lucky760 with one star point for this contribution to VideoSift - declared quality by EDD.
dingensCongrats!
And on a side note: Zero punctuation is not as popular as I thought
KnivesOutYou can't compete with lions nom'ing babies. You just can't.
arvanaCongratulations @blankfist, @mintbbb, and @Zifnab! I have to admit, all three of those submitters were a surprise to me. This was a fun week!
Even though I didn't get on the podium, I sifted my little heart out this week. For a little while there, for the first time EVAR, I had 6 videos in the Top 15. Just had to boast a little!
Also props to @Hybrid, @gwiz665, @critical_d, @TheGenk and everyone else in the 30 Best for being this close!
antWhen's the next one?
TheGenkCongratulations @blankfist!
@mintbbb, uuuuh so close.
@arvana: Thanks, and it looks like you had a field day - 5 out of the top 30
Oh, and...
Made it into the top 10 with a science video, YEAH!
HybridI'm all for another contest like this................. in 5 years time.
residueI made a pretty strong effort with my videos receiving 3, 7, and 2 votes respectively.
mintbbbYay yay! Congrats to blankfist, that was a fantastic video
This was a fun week, and I am glad I decided to come back to sifting just before it started. I've never won anything from VS before, and getting a t-shirt makes me very happy!
Congrats Zifnab, and congrats to everybody else who made it to the list. And thanks Lucky and dag for making a fun contest like this
