Everyone at Sweets Kendamas is stoked to add a new member to our team. We have been planning this contest for a while and can't wait to see all the entries. We have a lot of exciting things planned for Sweets Kendamas and this contest is just the beginning of it.
Our sponsorship contest style is a little different this time. We made a video describing in detail how the 1 year sponsorship will work and what you can expect if you win. There may also be some clips from our 2013 Sweets Kendamas Pro Team Edit.

"We are happy to announce Max Norcross as the winner of the 2013 Sweets Pro Contest, and the newest member of the Sweets Kendamas Pro Team.
Before we get into details, we'd first like to thank everyone who participated in the contest this year. The contest entries we received have completely changed the game, and have redefined what Pro-level Kendama play is all about. Every second round entry introduced new tricks to the Kendama world and it's crazy to think that it was all fueled by the chance to be a part of our team.
Judging this contest was incredibly hard. I can't say enough how blown away we were with the contest entries. All of the current Pro's gave their input and the decision was based on a combination of skill and overall production value. While every 2nd round entry blew our mind with the amount of skill displayed, Max's creativity, quality of content, and his contribution to the community over the years won us over. We expect our Pro's to be ambassadors for our brand and to help us with our mission of spreading Kendama love, and we are confident we've made the right choice in adding Max to the team."
And the winner is...

oops, beatcha ;)
Congrats max!!! stoked for you.
Ha, yes.
For note, it's polite to add a link to your source where possible/relevant. People like traffic to their sites. :)
fixed ;)
hells yea.. Max was my favorite i think... just cool style, different tricks.. Congrats dude! ( i dunno if hes on the forum or not?.. oh well! )
I've only seen two of the videos, Max was my favourite for sure though. After watching his I felt like I didn't even need to see the others, super solid edit all around. (to be fair, from what I've heard the other edits are awesome as well)
I mean really, when an edit starts with someone blasting a kendama into 100 pieces you know the rest is going to be just as good. Best intro of all time.
Congrats, Max.
I was kinda hoping Bosch would have won, he had some unbelievable tricks, and so smooth.
