The 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.
