And now, here are the winning Flipnotes from last week's topic "Tag You’re It".

Well done to everyone who entered.

All hell breaks loose when the over zealous "Tanner" is invited to play tag in this hilarious Topic winning Flipnote by GameRat101.

Mixing line drawn and photo characters works beautifully shot to shot, matching scale, and editing with voice acted comedy dialogue, before "Mike’s" well grounded concerns hit home with a tremendous martial arts punchline!

Wacky turns a pleasant game of ‘Viewer Tag’ into a full on screen bursting Jump-Scare in this Weekly Topic winner by Jake.

Using extreme perspective to great effect, "Wacky" becomes nothing more than a dot on the horizon, as he waits to be tagged, giving plenty of scope for his dramatic bull-rush return.

Woah, that was close! We nearly jumped out of our skin!

To become the all-powerful ‘IT’, requires a tag of Epic proportions in this Topic winning cartoon animation by Jared.

The Nickelodeon dialogue is expertly visualized with lively OC performances, along with tension building action as the tagger finds their mark.

But has "Aaron" gained the ultimate prize?

Tune in to find out!

When "Bombo" misjudges a tag, "Mr. Man" goes for a Burton in this Weekly Topic winning wind-up by bombo.

We loved the feeling of energy and momentum created by the after effects of the explosive Tag, which sends the character into such a crazy spin, that they're literally whisked off in its wake!

This Weeks Topic - "River Rafting"

This Topic could be about old world river rafting, as done with rafts made from logs, or it could also be about white-water rafting, the recreational outdoor activity, which uses inflatable rafts to navigate rough and treacherous rivers.

Rafts can be pulled or pushed through the water with oars, or punting poles which, against the current, can prove exceptionally difficult and dangerous!

And woe betide any rafter who comes upon a waterfall en route!

Your Flipnotes could include any type of rafting at all, and be created with whichever techniques or styles of your choice.

So why not launch a Topic entry, and sail it down river today!

We really love the way you're all so creative with these topics and look forward to seeing the Flipnotes you create for them.

Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel Weekly Topic - River Rafting and the deadline for your entries is July 21st (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).

We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes. This is your opportunity to explain any points of interest and specific details that we could feature in the topic winner reviews.

And don't forget, if you want a cool thumbnail picture on your Flipnote, whichever frame you save the Flipnote on, that will become the thumbnail. So choose your favorite frame for this, or add in a cool title page at the end, and save on that.

Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
