If you have not yet cast your vote for the Adobe EchoSign sponsored contest on the idea of TRUST, time is running out.  February 23, 2012 is the deadline!  The 10 finalists are counting on us to cast our votes.  An iPad is up for grabs here.  Imagine if you could have been the WINNER if only your peps voted.  I just read all 10 entries and voted. It does not take long to read them.  You may have already read some or all of them when the entries were first posted.  It's time to cast your vote!  I'm excited to see who the grand prize winner will be! 

Original content by Beth Bourg

Last month my company, Adobe EchoSign, sponsored a contest focused on the idea of Trust. With well over 200 submissions, whittling it down to just 10 was difficult, especially because so many great posts were submitted. I enjoyed reading your thoughts, both the positives and the negatives, and learned that the topic of trust can be very personal to so many of us.

To help choose a winner, I enlisted the help of some of the folks at ActiveRain. As a group we decided that we’d come up with a top ten list to put in front of the members – yes, you – for a final vote. Even narrowing down the list was hard – we almost couldn't pick ten, but realized that one of our choices was submitted after the 1/27 deadline, thus finalizing our list.

Now it’s up to you to pick the winner! The post receiving the most votes by 11:59pm Pacific Time on Wednesday, February 23rd, will win an iPad. 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive a $150 gift card and a $100 gift card, respectively. Please vote fairly – read all submissions before casting your vote. We hope you find these posts to be as interesting and creative as we did. There were so many great posts that offered a unique perspective, so please don’t get discouraged if you don’t see your submission in the list below – it doesn’t mean that it didn’t impact us.

And here they are, in order based on when they were submitted A big congratulations to the ten finalists!
