The Experience Downtown Challenge

Well the Experience Downtown Challenge has come to an end. Thanks to everyone who filmed a video, voted and spread the word about this great contest! We got to see some really great videos as a result.

After a week of voting on the Final 3 videos we have a winner!   

Congratulations to Joel Smith! Joel wins $1,500!*

And also, congratulations to the two runners up...Vlad Yatsina and Cheryl Zamora.

*We learned that unfortunately some users found a way to manipulate the contest voting platform. The contest rules for the Downtown Partnership Challenge clearly stated that only one (1) vote per IP address was allowed each day. Therefore, each IP Address had no more than 5 available votes for the final round. Any IP addresses with over 5 votes had these votes deleted and the results were recalculated which is why there was a discrepancy between the percentage of votes per video on our contest page and the actual winner. Thank you very much for being involved in this contest and we apologize for any confusion this has caused.
