And the winners are...
Our holiday video contest officially came to a close on January 15th at midnight. Now comes the fun part where we get to announce the winners and award the great prizes (a MacBook Air and the two tablets: iPad 2 and Blackberry Playbook).
With well over 700 contestants, selecting a winner was no easy feat. But we’ve looked over all the entries and chosen our official winners. Here they are!!
Congratulations to Wilson S. of Edmonton, Alberta! He was able to correctly name the most characters from the holiday video, and is receiving the MacBook Air.
Wilson is a software developer in Edmonton. The MacBook Air will be his very first Mac computer, and he can’t wait to use it! He will, perhaps, finally start writing some apps with it.
Congratulations to Jeremy Cleaver of Vancouver Island! He was able to correctly name the most titles from the holiday video, and is receiving both tablets.
Jeremy is 21 years old. He loves the west coast, enjoys the outdoors, and loves going camping whenever he gets the chance. He graduated from Reynolds Secondary and has attended Camosun College. He currently works in the health-care field and has an interest in pursuing a career in either science or medicine. What Jeremy’s excited for most is the return of the second season of ‘The Walking Dead’, and what frightens him most is a possible zombie uprising.
