Gleb has a unique personal story, quirky and innovative short film, and massive vote-getting prowess. Judges included Rockethub.com, Arien Rozelle of FeelingAnxious PR, Lonny Knapp of AOL’s Spinner.com, Octavio Blanco of CNNMoney, and Jacob Shwirtz of MTV. Congratulations to Gleb!

Additionally, we’ve named two finalists:

Lloyd Godson and his fascinating underwater research initiative. “The aim of the project is to establish a globally unique underwater research, education and outreach facility in the Vinkeveense Plassen, a freshwater lake area in The Netherlands.”

Nicole Ballivian and her internationally relevant feature film. “Sleeping on Stones will be a feature film, to be shot in the West Bank city of Hebron. It will be the first dramatic feature film of Hebron and it is both a Palestinian and an American story.”
We are excited to work with all of the winners!

Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds in the NY Times

And read this AMAZING review of their debut album in Jambands.com, that begins: “Referring to Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds as a funk band just doesn’t get the job done. Don’t get me wrong – there’s all the nasty-ass, hip-grinding, sweat-soaked-but-cool-as-hell funk on their self-titled debut album that you could ever want, but there’s also so much more.”
