Justin Bieber, NBA, Turner Sports, Mashable and over 350 More Influencers Join the BEST VINES EVER Campaign as Voting BeginsTubefilter and Snakt recently launched BEST VINES EVER, a final celebration for the creators, content, and community of Vine. One week later, the Vine community has answered with top pop star Justin Bieber joining over 350 additional influencers and media companies, including the NBA, Turner Sports, Mashable, Lele Pons, Rudy Mancuso, and Jérôme Jarre, to help bring back every Vine ever from 400 top accounts. Fans can now watch and vote on all of these Vine videos on the Snakt app, with the top BEST VINES EVER being announced at an exclusive award show in April. "We've been astounded by the response we've gotten from the Vine creator community," said Tristan Snell, co-founder of Snakt. "Now with the complete set of Vines from hundreds of the most popular stars, we're truly bringing back the amazing community of talented creators and devoted fans that made Vine such a special forum." The new entrants into the contest were some of the most popular and recognizable on the Vine platform, including:
In addition to re-creating the Vine viewing experience, Snakt brings a number of unique features to fans of mobile video. Viewers can reply to any video with videos of their own, and they can use any video on the app to build "stacks" of videos, allowing fans an easy way to build Vine compilation videos, which garnered enormous popularity on YouTube during Vine's heyday. "The scope and caliber of creators participating, along with our partnership with Snakt, has allowed us to identify once and for all the best Vines of all time, ever," said Drew Baldwin, founder and CEO of Tubefilter. "The BEST VINES EVER awards are shaping up to be the be all end all of some of the greatest memes of this decade." Anyone who had an account on Vine may enter the contest for free by filling out this form. The deadline for entries is this Friday, March 24. Tubefilter and Snakt are encouraging everyone to enter, regardless of whether they were a star creator on Vine, with a promotional push centered around the hashtag #SaveTheVines. "We want everyone to be part of this. That's what #SaveTheVines is about," Baldwin said. "This is not just about the top stars. It's about all the creative expression that the Vine community represented. Our goal is to bring that back to life."
