Meet May’s On The Rise nominees
Wednesday, May 11, 2011
A new month brings a new batch of up-and-coming talent for our On The Rise program. Our On The Rise nominees for May are in, and we invite you to check them out and vote for your favorite.
Here’s how it works: we identify channels who have grown their subscriber base in the past 30 days but haven’t quite reached 100,000. You vote on your favorite on the top right-hand corner of this blog. At the end of the week, the nominee with the most votes wins exposure on the YouTube
homepage
and the
videos
page as well as posts on
Facebook
and
Twitter
. It’s all about giving a kick start to the next generation of Partners who will go on to do big things on YouTube. Past winners like
emilynoel83
,
joshsundquist
, and
theslowmoguys
have seen their subscriber numbers jump, all thanks to your support.
This month, our nominees span a range of areas, from musicians to educators to vloggers. Take a look at their channels and featured videos below, and
cast your vote by May 18, 2011 at 6:00pm PST
. We’ll announce the winner via this blog and the YouTube homepage on May 27.
YourTeacherMathHelp
If you want to solve polynomial equations, or remember how to find the circumference of a circle, check out YourTeacherMathHelp. With hundreds of videos, you can find lessons to match what you are currently studying to make the grade or ace that standardized test.
DisneyKid1
“Young & Free” is Joseph Birdsong’s outlook on life, but it’s also the title of his first full-length album. In addition to producing music, rapping under the moniker DK1, and collaborating on the channel
5awesomegays
, Joe has created comedy and art videos on his own YouTube channel since 2007.
PaulDateh
Violin. Vocals. Writing. The three words Paul uses to describe who he is and what he does. What this translates to is inspiring music that blends violin with a hip hop beat, or classical music with the soul of jazz. Paul’s goal is to be a musician in every possible way, and given his latest tracks, and growing channel on YouTube, he is almost there.
CuteGirlsHairstyles
For more than two years, CuteGirlsHairstyles has saved many viewers from tired, boring hairdos. The channel hosts videos containing modern, original hairstyles for girls and young women, most of which take under five minutes to complete.
If you’re inspired by what you see here, check out other up-and-coming Partners by visiting our On the Rise
