MARCH 1, 2012

I was an early adopter of this approach back in 2006 and over the years I have had the opportunity to raise over $250,000 for a charity that supports Cambodian children using these techniques as part of online giving contests like the Case Foundation’s America’s Giving Challenge. Enter online fundraising contests.

I'm also using this for the upcoming WeAreMedia Workshop in San Francisco which has a section on experiments and measurement. In 2007, the Human Society implemented its first photo petition campaign to protest Wendy's treatment of animals. The next iteration of a photo contest, LOL Seals. More on that later.

I''ve given talks and workshops about it all over the world. If participation was my mantra from 2007-2011, community has been my mantra since then.

They ran their contest on YouTube, but See3 has a private label, fully customizable video contest hosting, management, and marketing solution.
