We are delighted to announce the winners of National Progress Alliance’s first video contest! Our aim was to inspire filmmakers to use their creative talents to produce short videos showcasing the absurdity of wokeness. We received dozens of excellent submissions highlighting diverse points across the woke spectrum—male menstruators, youth sovereignty, food appropriation, toxic masculinity, conversations with Orwell, parental rights, and much more. Hats off to every contestant for identifying and creatively addressing the pressing issues of our era.
Methodology
Five members of our team assigned each video a rating of 1-5 on three metrics: “Content Quality,” “Creativity,” and “Technical Excellence.” Once scores were assigned, the team went through a second iteration and rated the top five videos, selecting three winners. We adhered to the numerical rankings without interpretation and winners were selected solely based on score.
Congratulations to the winners! We think you'll enjoy these videos as much as we did.

Josh Helms gets two first place awards. Plus he owes me thousands in doctor bills and reparations since he made me bust a gut.
These were all brilliant
