There is no power of change greater than a community discovering what it cares about. - Margaret J. Wheatley
That was exactly what I thought when browsing through all those amazing entries to the #sixtyseconds contest.
36 videos from 29 different creators were submitted during the past two weeks, and it was very interesting to see the different ways in which Steem can be advertized.
Here are some of my biggest takeways from the messages transmitted in the video ads:
- Steem and steemit.com go hand in hand.
- Being rewarded for content creation is (still) the no. 1 selling proposition.
- Steem is an opportunity for people and businesses.
- Steem can be many things to different people.
Now I'm glad that the winners will be selected by the community, because I honestly couldn't tell you which one of them I liked best.
Let's go start the voting!
Pick your winner!
It's gonna be a tough decision, so please take your time to vote for your favorite steemy ad.
The voting will end with the payout window of this post (in 7 days from now). Winners will then be ask to set up a celebration post since we have a couple of sponsors who promised bigger upvotes to the winning artists. But I'll provide you with more details, once we know who the lucky creators are!
The entries are listed by payout as follows, starting with the most expensive one. Once you've decided who you want to vote for, you'll find your favorite creator down in the comments.
You vote for your favorite entries (as many as you want) by upvoting the corresponding comments, the voting is stake weighted (as announced since the very beginning).
You can go check out the @dtube videos by clicking on the account names below or by browsing through this list on steemit.com.
Honestly, I recommend you to go have a look on the entire list and then come back here to vote for your favorite ad. This may be the most comfortable way.

Fun fact: While I put this post together I lost my internet connection about a hundred times (cheers to the island life!). When I had finally set up the post on dpoll I suddenly realized that this app doesn't allow you to introduce more than 20 anwers (entries). Yay! We've got 36 here... So I had to start from zero again and create the post on eSteem Surfer. What a night!
I hope you guys have fun with this voting and those five hours were worth it :-)
See you in a week for the award ceremony!
Happy weekend,
