Redmap asked Australians to make a 45-second video about Redmap and ocean warming. We received 35 fantastic video entries, from skits, animations, interviews and wonderful underwater footage. The Redmap judging panel found it difficult to chose the winners because the videos were of such high quality and creativity. Thank you to all who entered!

But a special congratulations to the following winners:

1st Prize, $2,000 (judged by Redmap):
Code Red in the Blue! by Simon Brandl from Townsville, QLD

2nd Prize, $1,000 (judged by Redmap):
Strange sightings by Jess Long from Sydney, NSW

People's Choice Prize, $2,000 (highest number of YouTube views at noon, 30 May 2014): If the tables were turned by Piers Luttrell from Sydney, NSW

This video had the highest views: over 10,000 views at noon 30 May when Redmap judged this category from YouTube views.  Well done Piers and great that you've been spreading the word about Redmap far and wide!

In fact, Redmap found it too hard to stop at just three prizes and added more prize categories!

Unofficial 3rd place, $100 cinema voucher (judged by Redmap):

Unofficial 4th place, $50 cinema voucher (judged by Redmap):
