On Saturday April 10, YouTube and See3 Communications announced the winners of the YouTube Nonprofit Video Awards, a celebration of the best videos from organizations in the YouTube Nonprofit Program over the past year. The four victorious videos are spotlighted on the YouTube homepage that day.
Over 750 videos were submitted to this year’s awards, ranging from quirky narratives about how life on another planet relates to equal rights on Earth to honest testimonials from young dancers. A judging panel of nonprofit and video experts narrowed the field down to sixteen finalists, of which four were selected by YouTube community voting. Over 17,000 votes were cast to determine the winners. Here’s a look at all of the finalist videos:
The four winners received a $2500 grant from the Case Foundation to continue their work, as well as recognized by their peers at the Nonprofit Technology Conference, the largest gathering of its kind, in Atlanta.
