Article by : SpunOut.ie

For all of you fine folk out there who entered the 'What I love about my place' kick ass competition, a big mama well done to you!

There were some really wonderful entries and judging the videos was one of the hardest things we've had to do. SpunOut.ie judged the competition along with Credit Unions and a member from the YouTube team. The savage raw talent out there is astounding.  Much thanks to all who entered.

Here's a reminder about what the competition was all about for those who missed it. To mark the 50th anniversary of the foundation of Credit Unions on the island of Ireland, credit unions teamed up with SpunOut.ie to launch a video clip competition entitled "What I Love About My Place" last September.

The competition was an opportunity for you guys to record a short video — a maximum of 60 seconds — detailing what it is that makes your place special. Entrants submitted their videos to the YouTube competition page.
