Earlier this month the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) asks Canadians to show off their .CA website in their Showusyour.ca video contest.
The deadline to enter has now passed, CIRA has shortlisted the finalists, and now they need your help picking the winners.
The grand prize winner will receive a MacBook Pro and will be featured in a future .CA marketing campaign - a pretty big deal considering CIRA's National marketing budget. As well as the grand prize, the first runner-up will receive a 64GB iPod touch, and the second runner-up will receive a Flip UltraHD camcorder.
Voting closes on March 26th, so head over to Showusyour.ca to vote today.

Capturing the entire process from click to fit, the video follows the purchase of a three-piece suit showcasing the unique production model, meticulous craft of Indochino’s master tailors in Shanghai and speedy two-week worldwide delivery.

The video was made in collaboration with Fly Films - a production company whose clients include Dunhill, Christian Dior and Nike. Pretty good company for Indochino but then again they are one of America's Most Promising Startups.
