Winners of #2021YBS Social Media Competition

For the Youth Business Summit: Reimagined, VE ran our biggest social media competition yet. Using #YBSReimagined, VE students have been posting on Instagram and Twitter with updates on their companies, showing how their teams are conducting business, offering special deals and promotions, and sharing their experiences as VE students. In total, #YBSReimagined was used in over 400 posts on social media!

Ten teams have been voted for by the VE community as the winners of this contest, and will be receiving $50,000 in VE money and special recognition for their efforts and ingenuity. These VE firms posted regularly, and were impressive in the quality and content of their posts.

Here are the winners, in alphabetical order, along with some examples of their great posts. Congratulations to these teams!
