Biggest Day Ever!

Biggest Day Ever!

Wednesday 7th August was the busiest day ever for views and votes for the film comp – Slovenia edged out the Philippines and now holds 4th place.

A quick check of where our interest is coming from brings back the incredible statistic that it’s more than 100 countries (105!). Voters come from 47 US States, every European country. We are big in India, New Zealand, Canada and Malaysia.

Finally, after many many thousand of votes today where social media clearly holds the key, the ‘most votes’ open category has a leader (of sorts) and the schools comp remains tight at the top.

Encourage everyone you know to take a look at the inspiring line-up of films and don’t forget to ‘like’ NOVA while you are there!
