Presenting: The 2017 Great Big Award Show!

Each year we select the finest videos from the internet's furthest reaches
and bestow upon them the prestigious Great Big Bear Award.
These are those videos

'Fired Up and Ready to Go' by The Atlantic | Best Artist Collaboration

The origin story of Barack Obama's famous "Fired up, ready to go" chant, animated and published by The Atlantic

'In a Heartbeat' | If Great Big Story Made Fiction Award

A closeted boy runs the risk of being outed by his own heart after it pops out of his chest to chase down the boy of his dreams. An animated short film by Beth David and Esteban Bravo.

'Imagination' by The North Face | Takes Me Back Award

We've all been that kid sitting in the back seat of our family car, wishing we were somewhere else. Through the boredom, the driveway snow piles, sidewalk handrails and stair sets start to tease our inner skier. Watch day dreams come to life as Tom Wallisch shreds the snowy streets of Nelson, British Columbia. 

'The Unbelievers: Burnell Cotlon of New Orleans' by Voyageur | Story That Inspires Hope Award

Meet Burnell Cotlon. It's been 12 years since Hurricane Katrina, and most people have given up on New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward. Not Burnell. He thought the neighborhood was worth saving. Somebody had to do something. And that somebody was him. By Voyageur for Tribeca Film Fest + Bai.
