Arguably, thumbnails are the most important part of video creation, because alongside the title, it's the only thing you can use to grab a potential viewer's attention. And when you were just starting out on your content creation journey, chances are your thumbnails weren't quite as visually striking as they are now.

So we're challenging you to redesign an old thumbnail! Think about how you can make it more appealing and enticing to the viewer, and if you've been in this game for a long ol' time, consider how thumbnail trends have developed. Make sure to post both the old and new thumbnails side by side - and highlight which is which - then verify your image on social media, for your chance to win $4!
