I love you very much

Pd. if you got videos about the audience, share them. I'm always interested to see people's reaction

[Scintilla]

... Okay, I cannot remember the last time I saw an audience vote select a drama video (or anything non-comedy, really) for a Best In Show.

[competitionbros]

11 away from best in show, two years in are row is nearly impossible. Oh well, congrats to all of the winners. I really must come to Connecticon one of these days.

Ninja Heroes: 41 (7)

Wow. The fact that there were even 7 people to vote mine for Best in Show is such a compliment to me. The audience's screams after my video played were overwhelming. Even though I wasn't that close to winning the category, it was a great feeling to know that my video was so well received. It reminds me why I started editing in the first place

Congrats to all the winners! It was a great contest this year!!!
