I got a request at the convention about finding some of the videos that appeared in our non-finalist showcases, so I'm in the process of building that playlist as well. I'll be working on that this week but I've gone ahead and started it and linked it below. Please note, not all entries ended up with a corresponding YouTube link, or the video was taken down after the link was submitted. Editors have the right to request their video to be removed from this playlist.

Again, thank you EVERYONE who submitted to both contests this year and we'll see you next year!!
