Nearly 3,000 people submitted 30-second videos in a bid to win a massively discounted 10-month rental lease for a fully furnished 1,380-square-foot luxury apartment in the West Village.  The winning contestant would receive a whopping 90 percent off of the estimated monthly rental value of $7,000 and pay a mere $700 a month for the two-bedroom property at One 7th Avenue South.

With the contest narrowed down to five finalists, the public was invited to view the entry videos and vote on the winner.  It was announced today that, with over 9,800 votes, the new resident of the Daffy's Apartment will be Broadway performer Kimberly Dawn Neumann.
