GIF Off

​The Great GIF-OFF 🏆

​​Welcome to a fast-paced, totally unserious, extremely important competition to crown LinkedIn’s best GIF-dropper.

​​🎉 This is Round 1 of our new quarterly series — the first of four GIF-OFFs this year.

​​What started as a whimsical idea from Marianne Kaiser (with immediate momentum from Courtney Raymond) has become a creative community showdown.

​​Here’s the deal:

​​4 judges and a surprise Master of Ceremonies will throw rapid-fire prompts at competitors (think: Corporate Chaos, Weird LinkedIn, and B2B Sales).

​​Competitors get 60 seconds to drop their best GIF in the Zoom chat.
Judges score. Spectators react. Chaos unfolds.

​​🏅 Judging Criteria (0–5 points per category)

​​Judges score each round on:

• ​​Relevance to the prompt

• ​​Humor / Vibes

• ​​Originality

• ​​Speed / Timing

• ​​Chaos Energy / Commitment

​​Simple. Fair. Slightly dangerous.

​​🏆 Prizes

• ​​$50 Grand Prize (winner’s choice e-gift card)

• ​​5 additional awards for runners-up and standout moments

• ​​Surprise superlatives (because one winner is never enough)

​​Bragging rights included.

​​How It Works

• ​​Choose your lane at signup: Compete or Spectate.

• ​​Competitors: desktop recommended (keep your GIF source ready — GIPHY, Tenor, saved files).

• ​​Each prompt = 60 seconds to post one GIF in the Zoom chat.

• ​​Spectators help break ties with emoji reactions and chat hype.

​​We’ll screenshot favorite moments for a post-event recap.

​​Code of Conduct

​​Be generous. Be inclusive. Have fun.

​​Only rule:
Don’t be a dick.

​​We’re here to celebrate creativity — not ruin someone’s day.
