And the Results

The results are in, our judges have spoken, and TBG is ready to wrap up. The winner is...

Megan!

In the words of guest judge Peter DeWolf, "Absolutely epic. So impressive. Megan's knowledge and passion and caring... I just want to give her a hug now. Great idea. A Big Give that will keep on giving."


You can see the whole project (start reading at the bottom) complete with vlogs and photos. But I do suggest you end up reading The Big Give That Keeps On Giving. Meg will share with you her passions and inspiration. In the end, that's what this is all about.


She started blogging as part of this contest initiative, so please do check it out!

We also have a gorgeous runner-up. Jami sent a package to a friend serving in Afghanistan and you can see her dance moves (the association is a little blurry, but wonderful none-the-less). Jami's Trashcan is the blog, and excellent on so many other levels, Highly recommended!

I would like to especially thank all our readers. You've made the contest worthwhile, and I hope we've inspired us. Please feel free to e-mail us at goaheadmaketheirday@gmail.com with any stories. We hope to occasionally have more quality content on the blog, so I hope you continue to follow.


And to our contributors, you've been amazing. Inspiring myself and everyone else. Not to mention the team that helped promote, build the site, and spread the word. You are all incredibly awesome. Thank-you.

Wow. July sure has gone fast. The Big Give is almost done for 2010. In a couple of days we'll be posting all of the submissions from our Givers, and then our judges will go to work on the challenging task of choosing a winner.

Don't forget to visit each of our entrants blogs (you can find a full list here) to check out what they've been up to with their $20, and don't forget to always give with a smile on your face.

In the meantime, we asked the amazing Wade Johnston to answer Three Questions on video. Wade is our music guru, and the lucky rabbit who wins TBG will get the chance to chat with him in IM about all things related to making music on the internet.

Giver updates and Three Questions with Una LaMarche

I have two very exciting things to announce today.

Three weeks in, we've received our first progress report from one of our Givers. Megan posted the first part of her Give, and you can read it over here. Remember to check out The Givers page to meet all eleven entrants in TBG, and visit their blogs to check on their progress.

Secondly, the wonderful Una LaMarche has answered Three Questions for us. Una blogs at The Sassy Curmudgeon and is our blogging guru. For more of what that means, check out the Prize Pack section of this blog.
