Chip’s Not Dead Yet video contest winners announced!

The Chip’s Not Dead Yet video contest challenged Vancouverites to put their creativity to the test in coming up with their best idea for a theme wave.  It was a tight race to the finish, but we’ve established our winners.  Drumroll please…

Congratulations to:

Alicia Krywaniuk! Her video ‘Run like a Canuck,’ featuring her son, Ethan, won the People’s Choice Award with the most votes.  She will receive a cash prize of $1,000.  Well done, Alicia and Ethan! (And Go Canucks, go!)

AND

24 Hours Vancouver & Yoyomama for their video ‘do the PJ wave’ as well as the Infant Studies Centre at UBC, for their video ‘Childhood Character’. These amazing teams have both won a shared sponsorship of the family wave! Look for them at the race.

Memelabs would like to give a big thanks to everyone who participated in this campaign. It’s been tons of fun for us. We adore doing work which benefits non-profits and look forward to doing more of the same in the future.
