Although the pair was not eligible to redeem the cash prize for their project due to Yanbaeva’s lack of Canadian citizenship, they have learned a lot from the experience.
So neither Wannamaker or Dinara win, it is a giant conspiracy!! The judges probably discovered this loophole so that they can pocket the prize money themselves!! What a conspiracy!!

Kind of a sad and strange ending. No prize money awarded, seems like a cop out to me. The prize should at least be donated to a chairty of Dinara's choosing, or Wannamaker's choosing.

So basically, someone screwed over both Wannamaker and the Russian, and then pocketed the $1500. Well isn't that just magical.

It will be funny if Michael Ha wins due to some loophole or technicality or by default. That will be beyond epic!!

Funny? Beyond Epic? I believe the words you were looking for were travesty and extreme injustice.

I'm don't care at all, our whole goal was to destroy Ha. So unless he does win in some bizarre twisted way than we succeeded in our mission.

Wannamaker was just on Global news at 5:00. She seems to have no clue... anyways, it was pretty hilarious. I am sure it will be up on the website soon.

“It took probably six hours to get it all done,” says Kendra Wannamaker, a You Innovate winner.

After voting probably over 100 times for her and never watching the video, THAT'S what her idea was?! I'm glad I trusted CP's braintrust and voted just for the name.

Her idea was average, and her video was horrible, but after watching the Global video... it was nice to see the group of awkward nerdy teens right up on the same stage as the well groomed and confident 20-somethings.

I think my favorite part of the news clip is when the lady from the contest says that our future is in good hands as far as entrepreneurs go based on these videos! I actually laughed at that.

Haha, I actually laughed through the entire video at the fact that WE did that and nobody watching the news actually realizes that.

No worries. It is the thought that counts.



So when does my cheque for my share of the prize money arrive?
