The Great GIF-OFF 🏆

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

🎉 This is Round 2 of our new quarterly series — the second 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.
