Congratulations Alberto García Ballesteros and “To Be Continued!”

2012 Travel Video Contest - Winners

The moment we have all been waiting for has arrived! With much thoughtful consideration our judges have sifted through the 16 Finalists and picked the winners -not an easy task considering the overwhelming creativity, passion and vision reflected in that group.

$4,000 Grand Prize Winner: “To Be Continued” by Alberto García Ballesteros

“To Be Continued” starts out funny and then delves deeper as Alberto, a Spaniard studying in Mexico, shares a project plan of linking kids around the country through creativity and film. We look forward to following the success of his venture through the year. Congratulations Alberto!

$500 Second Place Winner: “Redefining Home” by Cat Tuong Le

Cat stole the heart of many viewers with her video “Redefining Home.” She has also captured the vote of our judges and will be walking away with not just the Viewers’ Choice Award, but second place as well. We wish her a happy reunion with her father in Vietnam- congratulations Cat!

$250 Third Place Winner: “A Childhood Dream” by Meg Rumsey-Lasersohn

Through “A Childhood Dream” we discovered that Meg has evolved since her days of wanting to become a librarian-archaeologist-ballerina, and has finally found her calling in acting. She has taken third place and is off to London to follow her thespian dream- good luck and congratulations Meg!

$250 Fourth Place Winner: “An Interview With the Winner and Loser” by SooBin Kam

“An Interview With the Winner and Loser” had us laughing out loud- literally. SooBin showed us a sneak peek into his reactions if he were to win or lose. SooBin we hope your winning side will shine today- congratulations on fourth place!

Congratulations to the other Finalists and a tremendous thank you to all contestants, judges and voters! This has been an extraordinary experience for us this year, and in the words of one of our esteemed judges, we were “humbled, amazed and made slightly jealous by the entrants.”
