There it is. The most beautiful tweet ever. Twitter user Marc MacKenzie from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada is credited with tweeting the most beautiful tweet. A BBC News story says his tweet was named the "most beautiful tweet ever tweeted" at the Hay Festival.

This is the text of the tweet.

"I believe we can build a better world! Of course, it'll take a whole lot of rock, water & dirt. Also, not sure where to put it."

The judge was Stephen Fry. Marc MacKenzie entered 35 of his tweets in the competition.

MacKenzie was excited to win. He told the BBC, "The recognition and knowing Fry picked my tweet is a huge honour."
