3. We will summarize the points for each video on the 14th of November at 9:00 AM PST so that you can have more time for promotion.
4. The top 3 authors, whose video tutorials will get the highest number of points, are the winners. If multiple videos have the same number of points, the first one posted wins. Please feel free to submit as many videos, as you like. However, we will not sum up points from multiple videos from a single author. We’ll take just one that has the highest number of points.

📣 We will announce the winners on our Community Slack during the week of November 14th.
