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 22nd, 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!
