Meanwhile, Chandler Weber's hype video featuring an NCAA marching band snagged first place in the video category.

PRODUCTION MASTERY
Get ready for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, set to launch next month with a major focus on its camera game.
Samsung's sticking with last year's camera sensor but promises some juicy tweaks and software enhancements that might just make photography buffs weak in the knees.
The sensor's a 24-megapixel beast by default, but the real magic kicks in with its quad telephoto zoom that dares to go all the way to 10x.
Sounds like Samsung's betting on smart software and flexible lenses to deliver the pixel punch.
While we wait for the January 17th reveal, let's hope the camera lives up to the hype – and the zoom!

CREATOR ECONOMY
Etsy has reportedly been selling AI-generated deepfake images of celebrities, including explicit ones of Olivia Munn, sparking major backlash.
Munn's attorney called out the platform, which took six days to remove the images.
It's not an isolated incident: a Forbes investigation found thousands of deepfake listings on Etsy, though the company said it's "deeply committed to the safety of our marketplace."
As deepfake issues balloon globally, it's crucial communities and companies stay vigilant on these disinformation fronts.
