Join the Davos Conversation

Because of the way this 'contest' is set up, the 'winners' are videos that have already been posted, or seeded by the organizers (such as the Chad Hurley video). That's because there's only two days between the closing of submissions and the airing of the winners at the Davos World Economic Forum on January 23, and because voting is cumulative from the beginning. You can be sure the videos submitted January 21 aren't getting very many votes! Still, despite the obvious gerrymandering of the results, the initiative is nonetheless a good idea which may one day be done fairly, with a long lead time for entrants and a voting period that is the same for every entry.
