# of views will help the judges take notice of him and weigh a bit on their decision to choose the winners (1 grand prize, 4 runner-ups) -- but # of views alone won't be the winning factor:

"BigCommerce judges will choose five contestants who will be put through to the final round of judging based on their submission video. Judging criteria includes (1) creativity, (2) coherence of message, (3) potential for company growth, (4) inspiring story.
Number of views for each video on YouTube will factor into the judges' decision."

There is another contestant who's trying to get as many views as John (their video & product [IMHO] is lame/boring.. air guns )... they were ahead of him at one point, but, the more we share the link, the better John's odds are of staying in the lead, being the one the judges notice more.

Watched this, and is totally going to put it on facebook!

You might've been. No way for me to really know. The count on my account page is still at 999, but it takes a bit of time for them to refresh. You'll sometimes see different counts on different pages at different times.

*** after this round, there's one more where we'll all have to actually cast a vote for John

"How are the winners chosen?

The 5 finalist's videos will be posted on the BigCommerce website and FaceBook fan page, where the BigCommerce community and others will have an opportunity to vote for their favorite video. These votes will be used to determine the winner of the contest as well as three runners up."

I know it may seem like an unnecessary step, but, they're also trying to spread the word of their own product/service, so...

Y'all can visit the BigCommerce fan page http://www.facebook.com/BigCommerce now and 'like' them so you'll be able to vote for John on Facebook. Once they post John and the other 4 finalists on their website, one of us will post that link as well (next week; contest ends June 15th)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What would I do without her???

EDIT:

I just noticed you posted "once they post JOHN and the other 4 finalists"

Hey did they cut it down a winner? I thought it was 1 grand prize and 4 finalist prizes.

Or maybe I got it mixed up with it being a total of 5 for the final round.

3 of the contest pages say "4 runners up" -- and one of those 3 also says "3 runners up"..
