Gratitude: There's a note for that! (Post-it® Notes Contest)

[aulait1006]

using kids for the win... nice

[aulait1006]

kinda lame

[Esimmons3]

awesome video!!!!!

[yogeedogee]

I think you have a great video and I think you are a very nice person to do this, but it is not fair to the other contestants, if this had been one of the top 10. You see, voters would end up voting for your cause ---not your video, which would be an unfair advantage in the contest.

[mcrXninjaXyo]

WOW this video is amazing! and a great idea. I HOPE U WIN

[TMSOUL]

wonderfully done

[smileprncss08]

This has got to be the winning video. If not people are krazy.

[20Cici08]

[UptownDame]

Angie sent me. I am so glad she did. This is beautiful.

[thestosher]

Thanks to Angie, and thanks to you! I'll be sure to let you know when they announce the top 10 this week. The winner of the $10,000 prize will be determined by popular vote, so I'll definitely need yours. If I win, the money will be used to continue reconstruction of the school these amazing kids attend. Thanks again! - Stacey

[Shyaporn]

Aww, man.. so NOT FAIR! This is the clear winner!

Where in the rules did it say we could try to help the needy?

Grrr...

[thestosher]

I'm glad you think we've got a winning entry ;) Hopefully, it works - you can imagine what $10,000 can do for these kids in Tanzania. Good luck in the competition - I'm sure your mad floral origami skills will get you into the top 10 - see you there! (positive thinking, right?)

[Casetheface11]

That was precious-- I'm grateful people like you are helping this community. Keep up the excellent work, b/c it just takes consistency and a kind heart from people to help others.

[thestosher]

Thanks so much for your kind words about our video - I really appreciate it! The judges will announce the top 10 on 9/12; once we're in (positive thinking, right?), I hope you'll come back - and bring friends! - to vote and help us win the $10,000 prize ;) THANKS!

[RStimpy363]

Yes, great video. Great images. Great audio. Great concept. Ending with a suitably great chalkboard scene.

[thestosher]

Thanks so much for your kind words - can't wait to see if we make it into the judges' top 10!

[stvwenzel]

Great video for a worthwhile cause!

[amc333]

[thestosher]

Thanks Angie, and thanks for sending friends!! Check back on 9/12 when they announce the top 10 & start voting - I'll definitely need your help!

[ma105848]

My vote is in! I wish that I could clone it 1000 times. You are a Gem!!!

[CollCre]

This is adorable! What a cool way to not only raise awareness, but also actually thank those who had a hand in making it happen. Awesome!

[FreelancerKelly]

This video is MAJOR! Fantastic job!

[thestosher]

Thanks Kelly - and tell Laura I said thanks for passing it along, and congrats on the new job! Check back to begin voting next week when they announce the top 10!

[lilashana]

Seeing wonderful smiles on children's faces is so inspiring - and it is clearly all about them and their future.

Good luck, I am sure your and your team efforts will get noticed and bring this video into the top 10!

[thestosher]

thanks so much for your kind comment - i really hope we break into the top 10, and that you'll come back and vote beginning on 9/12!

[shayhovell]

it take em a little while to post--hey I made a painting of mona lisa out of 12,000 post it notes for their upcoming contest- please check it out and vote- we need you

[thestosher]

i must admit, the mona lisa from 12,000 post-it notes is pretty impressive ;)

[pjnicastri]

Very cool, I am sure the children will appreciate your efforts for the rest of their lives!

[thestosher]

thanks for your comment on our video! whatever i've done holds a pale candle to what Mama Lucy, the amazing woman in Tanzania who started this school, has done. she's a truly amazing woman.

[SillyKairi4]

That was awesome. So well done. I don't see how you can't be in the top 10!

[thestosher]

thanks - you're daughter is so cute! best of luck in the competition - I really appreciate your kind comments about our entry!

[jukib55]

I want a video like this for my non-profit!

[thestosher]

thanks so much! they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ;) actually, is there any chance your students might want to do any art exchange with the kids in Tanzania? I'd love to get your group involved!

[BGFUGA]

This is terrific!

[thestosher]

Thanks for your kind words about our video! I hope you'll be back to vote on 9/12 - once we've (fingers crossed!!) made it into the top 10. We'll need your help as popular vote will determine the winner.

[pegoco]

[thestosher]

[rememberTZ]

This video is so creative! It's wonderful what Epic Change is doing.

[thestosher]

Laura, thanks so much! I really appreciate all your support - cross your fingers!!

[Esimmons3]

SUCH a wonderful thing happening in the Arusha district of Tanzania! For those who havent been over there, it is heave on earth!

[thestosher]

[dwjmccall]

[thestosher]

[TheSweetNothingsRock]

AWESOME! GREAT JOB!

[goggapam]

Great work and really clever too! Good luck with the competition.

[maycarol001]

Every child deserves an education! Here's hoping you not only make it to the top ten but the $10K.

[thestosher]

I'm guessing from your login that you're Amanda's mom. She's an amazing person - you must have done a really good job. I'm sure once we make it into the top 10 (positive thinking!!), she'll have the whole family voting. Aren't you proud of the video she helped to create? Here's hoping we win!!

[maycarol001]

From the time Amanda told us she was going to Africa and why, yep, proud doesn't describe it! She never ceases to amaze me! All of you have to feel so much pride in what you're trying to accomplish. I know my Amanda does. And yes, we'll all be voting.

[jenbee13]

Nice work! So moving. Congratulations!

[ocbuffygirl]

this video is so awesome!!

[aghvx]

Fantastic!!

[thestosher]

Thanks so much for checking out our video - don't forget to vote beginning September 12th, once the judges have put us in the top 10 (the power of positive thinking, right?)

[peterdeitz]

Great video Stacey. Well done! and Keep up your inspiring work in Tanzania.

[thestosher]

Thanks Peter - keep up your incredible work with Social Actions as well!

[ssgbc77]

Awesome Vid!

[thestosher]

Thanks - check back on September 12th when the judges announce the top 10! At that point, we'll REALLY need your votes to help us win $10,000 to help the school continue reconstruction ;)

[tmay1949]

Great Video...needs to be the winner

[thestosher]

Thanks so much! I'm guessing from your username that you're related to Amanda - she was invaluable in creating this great video of the kids. I hope you'll stay tuned; once we make it into the top 10 (fingers crossed!), we'll really need your vote!

[zflanagan13]

BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thestosher]

How much do you rock?!? We totally appreciate all your help pulling off this beautiful video! We couldn't have done it without you!

[shooterblues]

This video ROCKS... and so do these kids! Let's help them get a better education!

[shooterblues]

This video ROCKS! So do these kids! Let's help them get a better education!

[PinstripesInDC]

You've got my vote AND my prayers... this is awesome! Good luck:-)

[acapitollife]

Post-It to the world!  That was fantastic!

[tallemily425]

this is AMAZING!

[Ringer7890]

this is great, a real winner for all!!

[journeykit]

Really neat! I hope you win!

[CHUMAIO]

Great video. Not only for the use of the postit notes, but also for the great style. Best of luck.

[thestosher]

Thanks so much for your kind words about our video - best of luck to you too!

[Iamthepan]

#1 Post it video

[gjkirksey]

Great job applying the animation with the 3M note pads.

[sportacause]

No contest! This is really great. You guys certainly set the bar high.

Here's to Mama Lucy and the kids winning the Post-it contest...

That little schoolhouse rocks!

[letmefinishhere]

Fantastic!

[jfm1973]

Awesome. Just awesome.

[ja8596]

reallyreallyreallyreallyreally­reallyreallygreat!

goosebumps!

[amayfoto]

I have been very lucky.... I have spent time with Mama Lucy and have worked with the kids at this school!!! What Mama Lucy has been able to accomplish is nothing short of amazing.... and it would be incredible to be able to able to win this and give them another $10k. Maybe if the video doesn't win, Post-It might consider donating a much needed school bus??????? Just an idea :) Wonderful video!!

[neddotcom]

Wow, off the charts...very well done and inpsiring. Post It notes and making the world a better place...who'd of guessed it. Well done.

[thestosher]

What better use is there for post-its than changing the world? Thanks so much - and thanks for spreading the word to the Twitterverse too!

I'll let you know when we make it into the top 10! (positive thinking, right?)

[E1nsteinLive]

Very beautiful video. BTW it's suppose to be in English, referring to the end.

[thestosher]

Thanks for checking out the video & spread it around. Though Pius' accent is thick, he's definitely saying "Post-it, there's a note for that!" in English - is that the part you meant?

[E1nsteinLive]

Yes that's that part I meant. Sorry I couldn't understand the words and thought it wasn't English.

Mama Lucy who raised money for the village is that the same Mama Lucy who has restaurants?

[portlandproud]

what a great show! this should WIN.

and, since I love to use Post-Its anyway, it gives me an idea about a "Gratitude" feature to add to our neighborhood "Asset Maps" -- with names on post-its to identify the "good neighbors" people appreciate! Thanks, Erin.

[thestosher]

What a great idea!! Thanks for checking out our video.

[DolphyProductions]

Girl... you have me tearing up over here. That touched my heart in every way.

Good luck! You have my vote!!

[thestosher]

Hopefully, they were tears of happiness. These kids will make the world a better place. I hope to win the $10K so that they can use it to continue rebuilding their school.

Pass it on!

[Iamthepan]

Awesome! I'll bet this is the only entry that's pledged the prize money to a great cause too. That alone is reason enough for this video to be named the winner.

It's also got a great message. We could all stand to be a little more thankful.

[parmonkular]

Beautiful. Inspiring. If this doesn't win, there is something tragically wrong with the voting process.

[dagadruma]

really good...what more is there to say? moving!

[firestar9S]

EXCELLENT! I'd have thought this was already a chosen winner and that the contest was finished!!!!

Fantastic!

If you don't win, they've been sniffing too much glue!!!!

[sanjspatel]

This is fantastic! What a great and interesting way to express gratitude, I hope this video wins the $10,000 for the school in Africa that these kids go to!

The song in the background is awesome and the kid at the end who says "There's a note for that!" with the giggles in the background is the cutest thing I've ever seen!

[EpicChange]

These kids are amazing! What better use is there for a Post-it® than sincere gratitude?

Since any prize money the video receives will be donated to the school, we hope it's selected as the winner!
