First Place:

THIRST by Jeff Brenman, a beautiful presentation on the impending water shortage across the world was unanimously chosen by the judges as the best presentation in the contest.

What the judges had to say: “Creative, world subject, very clear and persuasive, most professional, great show and great design”

Second Place:

Close on Jeff’s heels (pun intended) was Melanie Kahl with her innovative photo slideshow Footnotes. A travelogue of sorts, her slides took us on a “bipedal adventure with pictures”

What the judges had to say: “Nice concept, pretty feet! Creative concept and feel, Photography was great!”

Third Place:

In third place, Dan Hrstich’s presentation, Zimbabwe in Crisis created for a junior school class was popular for the clear way in which the problems in Zimbabwe were outlined.

What the judges had to say: “Very eye-opening overview, Clear, arresting, emotional, told story well.”

    Finally, we have the results!!!

    Congratulations to all winners and to all other participants. I have tried to feature all good presentations along the contest in my blog and I am happy that most of my favourite presentations are winners in their Categories.

    There were so many other great presentations, it must have been hard for the judges to select the best ones…

    Once again - congratulations to all participants - everybody is a winner in such a contest, some just are a bit better. :-)

    So the ones allowed to contest in the World’s Best Presentation didn’t *have* to come from the winners of each categories? That was unclear for me.

    These should be mandatory viewing for executives in corporate America who tries to bullet-point their audience to death. It’d be a sort of rehab for them :) Great stuff.
