I entered the YouTube NextUp contest and am now a semi-finalist! To make it to the next round, I need as many votes as I can get!

You can vote once a day until Friday, April 8.

I’m pushing the YouthQuestions channel where we answer teenagers’ questions about the hard stuff they’re going through in life. Last week I invited you all to collaborate with me on it, and that invitation is still open.

If I make it to be one of the top 25 contestants, I get:

• $35,000 in funding to produce a new project, purchase new tools and advance my YouTube audience
• A spot at a four-day YouTube Creator Camp in which I’ll benefit from one-on-one mentoring and learn an array of production techniques from leading industry and YouTube experts
• Site-wide promotion of my final work and channel across YouTube

This could be an amazing opportunity for helping so many teenagers hear Godly voices and influences about the real issues they’re experiencing every day.

If you haven’t checked out the YouthQuestions channel on YouTube yet, it’s YouTube.com/YouthQuestions.

Please vote every day until April 8th and hopefully we can bring a Christ-centered message to impact teens all over the world through online video!! Get your youth group kids and everyone else to vote every day, as well. Help me spread the word!

And remember, you can vote every day until Friday, April 8!
