Introducing November’s “On The Rise” candidates

Each month, we find four YouTube Partners whose subscriber numbers are growing but don’t yet have 100,000, for our monthly On The Rise program. We invite you to check out their channels and vote for your favorite in the top right corner of the Official YouTube Blog. The channel with the most votes at the end of the week will be featured on the YouTube homepage and videos page.

Our nominees this November are a creative bunch whose skills include painting, animation, music and fashion. You may be drawn into their channels for the recommendations they provide or simply for the chance to observe their talents. Take a look at the nominees’ videos below, and vote for your favorite by November 21 at 6pm PT. We’ll announce the partner selected on the YouTube blog on November 27.
