A few weeks ago, we released the Workshop Wonder Pass Competition. To enter contestants simply had to submit a one minute video explaining why they should win. The superb prize is a special ticket that allows the winner to all the Carson Workshops in 2009!
And here are our three finalists with their awesome video entries.
Melissa Leon – Video entry
Scott Oldford – Video entry
Phil Ricketts – Video entry
So we now need YOUR help. If you could vote for the person you think should win this fantastic prize at the bottom of this blog!
The winner will be announced tomorrow! Good luck finalist 🙂

Phil. He has a cooler name.
if this was a competition for an actual job

it would be down to personnality.

Well Phil I guess I didn’t mention it. During the day I teach English, but my other job from 3pm to 11pm is developing a web app and providing social media consulting for the company my husband and I founded – the LaC project. So yes I will get some use out of CSS3. =)
Good Luck!!!

I sold myself to youtube, because I really, really want this ticket. Amazing opportunity for me, I’d really benefit from this as I’m actively involved in most of the topics in a daily basis. Going to eric meyer’s html5 + css3 session would be awesome, so many questions I have to ask.
