SlideShare announced the winners of its The World's Best Presentation Contest -- and the results include some really amazing presentations.

World's Best Presentation Contest 2008 - SlideShare

Jeff BrenmanThe overall winner is Thirst, a presentation that brings alive the impending worldwide water shortage that's staring at mankind. Interestingly, this presentation was created by Jeff Brenman (pictured on the right) -- he also won the first prize in the last contest that SlideShare held. Indezine interviewed Jeff last year for his Shift Happens presentation.

Footnotes, a photo slide show that documents Melanie's journey through photos of her feet, won the second prize for its novel theme while the third prize was won by a presentation about the crisis in Zimbabwe.

The judges for this contest included Guy Kawasaki, who conceptualized this entire presentation contest concept -- other judges were Nancy Duarte, Garr Reynolds, and Bert Decker.

Rashmi SinhaAnd at Indezine, we have something exclusive for you -- an interview with Rashmi Sinha (pictured to the left) of SlideShare. Rashmi talks about this contest, her favorite entries, and more.

And here are some statistics: the contest this year attracted 2415 entries and 22,000 votes from voters in 130 countries. There are 3 overall winners, 6 category winners and 9 honorable mentions. The first, second and third prize winners will receive a MacBook Air, Amazon Kindle and iPod Nano respectively. Winners in each category will receive an iPod Touch.

Here are embeds of the three winning entries:

    Featured Story

    Adobe Captivate's Edit View

    In an earlier post last week, I discussed Adobe Captivate's views and compared them to PowerPoint's deafult views. I also explained about the Storyboard View. In this post, I'll look at Captivate's Edit view, which in many ways is similar to PowerPoint's Normal view. If you are not already in Edit view within Captivate, choose the View drop-down in the toolbar, and select Edit View.
