    Mysterious Hummingbird logos seen worldwide. Thousands mobilized for action in Australia, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Slovakia, Taiwan and the United States.

    SYDNEY: February 28, 2012 Freelancer.com, the worlds largest outsourcing and crowdsourcing marketplace today revealed the prize winners of its US$25,000 Expose Our Logo contest. We received over 440 entries from all points of the globe and selected 20 finalists, which was hard enough, but the final decisions were even tougher! said Freelancer Chief Executive Matt Barrie. Each video exposed the Freelancer.com logo in its own unique way, reflecting the cultural diversity of our Freelancers. The level of creativity is astounding! We saw flashmobs in Manila, hundreds of people in formation in India, shaping themselves into the Freelancer Hummingbird logo and giant banners across Pakistan! The lengths our community goes to reflects their enthusiasm for Freelancer. he added.

    This year alone we received reports of a Freelancer.com UFO sighting in Utah that went viral on YouTube. Its received tens of thousands of views, including national media coverage! In Bangladesh 3,000 to 30,000 people went marching holding a 2000 square foot Freelancer.com banner! In Nepal, Freelancers hung a giant banner off a national historical monument that also happens to be the countrys tallest tower! Other, individual Freelancers would rather jump out of planes or go swimming with sharks! Together, theyve literally taken the contest to new heights and depths! he added. The $10,000 Grand Prize went to Freelancer.com member Nazma Rahman in Bangladesh, who mobilized an army of 3,000 Freelancer.com supporters wearing Freelancer shirts and waving Freelancer flags. They also unveiled a gigantic 2400 square foot banner before filling the streets and exposing the Freelancer.com logo to just about everyone they saw. The sheer number of participants ensured Nazma won an additional US$1,000 prize for Most People Involved.

    The US$2,500 second prize was won by Waseem Sajjad, from Pakistan, and Gorakh Timilsina from Nepal won the US$1,500 third prize.

    Each prize winner thoroughly deserves it. Nazma's entry from Bangladesh absolutely blew us away to win the $US10,000 Grand Prize. The entries get more ambitious each year and were looking forward to organizing this competition again, Barrie concluded.

    Freelancer.coms community of 3 million plus active members also got in on the act, voting Annood Bandola, from the Philippines, the US$5,000 Peoples Choice Award winner.
