HanktheTanks Slave 4 New Wave Video Contest Winners

Thank you all for making this contest such a success. I had 48 videos to watch and judge over the weekend and choosing the winners was not easy. You all did such an amazing job, I wish I could give all of you prizes.
But here goes. I am adding a prize to the person I think went way out of their comfort zone and produced a really fun video for me to watch. That person wins either a UU T-shirt or a CHicago Ukulele Group (CHUG) T-shirt http://skreened.com/chug . This award goes to Ukulelerob playing Karma Kameleon by Culture Club. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgS6k5o8jPs Great job Rob!!!

3rd place and the winner of a tuner: Great no frills video. Just an wonderful performance that really spoke to me. Krabbers playing "Say Hello Wave Goodbye" by Soft Cell. Loved it!

2nd place there was a tie. So you both get either a UU shirt of your choice or a CHUG t-shirt or a HanktheTank T-shirt. send me your size and where it's going.
Khrome242-OMD-Dreaming. She really got into character with this one. I really appreciated that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkB52BPvw0w
and
Msukulady - Break My Stride - Matthew Wilder I was smiling from beginning to end of this video. So much fun to watch. Thank you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhhTQpDEL20

And first place of the HanktheTank's Slave 4 New Wave Ukulele Video Contest goes to DeG- Love Vigilante- New Order. I was hoping someone would play this song. It is the main reason I want to buy a melodica. DeG must have read my mind and he hit a home run with this version. Amazing work! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgX2pk35jCE You win a Nalu Ahua Tenor. I know you will give her a good home.

All the winners send me your info and I will get your prizes out to you.
If you are a tshirt winner, chose either a UU shirt or a CHUG shirt http://skreened.com/chug

Congrats to all who won and thanks so much to everyone who entered. I hope to do this again.

Congrats, Degcon. Yours and sebi's were my favorites. This was a lot of fun. I learned to play a couple of songs that I'd have never gotten around to learning otherwise.
