But for us, it&#8217;s more than just a word. <em>Make it Awesome<\/em> is what Powtoon is all about! We believe that in anything you do, you must go above and beyond what\u2019s expected from you and just Make it Awesome!<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Awesomeness?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powtoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MAKE-IT-AWESOME_animated-gif.gif\" alt=\"make it awesome july 4\" width=\"600\" height=\"260\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Awesomeness comes in all stripes, from the serious to the light and fluffy stuff. We wanted to create a Powtoon series that touches all of these things and celebrates true awesomeness in all its forms.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re launching our #MakeItAwesome video series to celebrate all things awesome, and we couldn&#8217;t think of a better time to start than the 4th of July!<\/p>\n<h2>Why the 4th of July Is AWESOME!<\/h2>\n<p>We all know the 4th of July is American Independence Day. It\u2019s the day that represents freedom of choice and independence (truly AWESOME things!), and we could think of no better day to launch our new series.<\/p>\n<p>No one can deny the melting pot of cultural heritage in the U.S. has produced a stunning array of cuisines, all mashed up and thrown together that could be called American Food. It\u2019s true genius, and it\u2019s just one of the ways the U.S. Makes it Awesome!<\/p>\n<h2>Most Awesome American Food<\/h2>\n<p>And of course, what better way to celebrate the 4th of July than to quiz the Powtoon team to learn which food is truly the Most Awesome American Food:<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/4ojdoogapd.jsonp\" async=\"\"><\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/assets\/external\/E-v1.js\" async=\"\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 100.0% 0 0 0; position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_4ojdoogapd videoFoam=true\" style=\"height: 100%; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>#MakeItAwesome Series<\/h2>\n<p>Hey, it&#8217;s a series!
