About this challenge
Facts: YouTube is everyone's go-to for pretty much anything you want to know, learn, or watch. The vlogs are endless, and so are the faces of YouTube that keep us glued to our screens. YouTubers have changed how we view online or social media celebrities, and their content on the platform, no matter what your interests are, never disappoints.
So, we want to know not only which YouTuber is your favorite, but how they’ve kept you captivated and why you can’t get enough of their content. How has this YouTuber helped you beyond their YouTube channel? What makes them a stellar creator? Enter the Like, Share, Subscribe Challenge to share why you're this YouTuber's biggest fan and embed a link to their YouTube channel or their video in your story. Then, tell us what about them or their videos makes them your favorite and how they've impacted you beyond the platform.

Challenge resources
You Are Here Challenge Winners
For You Are Here , we asked writers to put readers somewhere they weren't supposed to be. What really stood out in the stories that placed was how often that line wasn't so clear. Sometimes you knew you were pushing your luck, sometimes you had every right to be there, and sometimes you didn't get much of a choice. Writing in second person made those situations feel a lot harder to watch from the sidelines.

Negative Space Challenge Winners
For Negative Space , we asked writers to explore how much can be said through what's left out. Our favorite entries found clever ways to make those silences, gaps, and unanswered questions feel just as important as the words themselves.

Out of Season Challenge Winners
We’re trying something new with our challenge awards structure. Starting with Out of Season , each challenge will recognize one grand prize , four winners , and ten honorable mentions . That’s 15 stories to celebrate, with a little extra love for the top pick. For this challenge, the strongest stories made the timing matter. Something showing up early or returning when it shouldn’t changed what people did, what they assumed, or how they saw each other. There was humor in trying to carry on as usual, and sadness in realizing why the usual schedule no longer worked. Sometimes the wrong time of year turned out to be just when someone needed it.
