It has been a little while since we ran a Community Challenge — but I think this one will be the best yet! It certainly has the best prizes.
This time around, we’re trying something a little different — VIDEOS! We want to learn how YOU use Meraki.
This Month’s Challenge
Submit a short video explaining how you use Meraki to save you time. What’s a tip or trick you would pass along to a friend?
Here’s our own response to this challenge for inspiration, produced by Technical Evangelist @AdamB:
How to enter
Submit your 30 second to 2 minute-long video in a comment on this blog post before 1 p.m. Pacific Time on Monday, July 9.
Making a video is easy! You can use a screencasting utility such as screencastify or record yourself with your smartphone.
Once you have the video file, you can upload it directly via the comment editor or embed a video posted on YouTube or another video site, as shown below: 
If you upload your video directly, please use MP4 or WMV format.*
You are welcome to submit multiple videos! Please submit each in a separate comment on this blog post.
What can I win?
Since it’s a lot of work to create a video, EVERYONE** who enters the contest will receive a pair of our awesome argyle socks!
A team here at Meraki will narrow the submissions to the top 3 (based on accuracy, creativity, and production quality), who will win argyle socks PLUS a Meraki polo shirt and hat.
You, the community, will then vote on these top 3 submissions, determining the winner of… drum roll…
… a Meraki MV in the model of your choosing (21, 12, 71)!
So, in summary…
- Submit a video in a comment on this blog post by 1 p.m. Pacific Time on July 9, 2018 → Win Meraki argyle socks
- Meraki will narrow it down to the top 3 → Win Meraki argyle socks AND a Meraki polo AND a Meraki hat
- Community will vote for the grand prize winner → Win Meraki argyle socks AND a Meraki polo AND a Meraki hat AND a Meraki MV, in the model of your choosing, with a 3-year license
