Good thing is that the main winner is chosen by the people.  Online votes are the thing that counts for the $10,000 prize.
Not necessarily. Usually it's not the best person who wins but the person who knows the most people and can get them to vote or the person that spends all day making new accounts and voting for themselves.
Right, it's very hard to be better than computer maniacs who know everything about how to get more and more votes. I think "people's votes" is the worst option to participants. I don't  intend to spend 10 hours voting for myself. I don't know, maybe owners of that site earn some cash when people make lots of new accounts etc.
I will participate, but don't expect there's a chance for winning.

I Agree..

Like I said, they say they have ways to detect multiple votes from the same person.  Whether that's by IP, IP range, location, or whatever.  Hopefully it works out... we'll just have to see.

Please post your submissions here as well.  Would be nice to see what's being submitted.

To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.
It's what you do that counts, but it's how you do it which separates you from the rest.
You can't have creativity unless you leave behind the bounded, the fixed, all the rules.

Hey guys, I found out some more information on the competition.  The sooner you upload, the better it is for you.  The total number of votes you receive plays a part in where you rank for the overall $10,000 prize.  They look at average vote out of 5 stars and the total number of votes.  The longer your video is up, the more votes you will get.  They take weekly averages as well.

I suggest you register as soon as you can and upload your best video, then leave a link here so we can check it out and vote. :great:

Seems like the organizers don't take this seriously ! I mean a lot of the videos already signed (if not all of them) in are longer than 60 seconds, and it is very clear in the rules that they should be under 60 seconds !!!

Yes, same here, they should at least take those videos off the website and email the people who uploaded them, that the video shouldn't be longer than 60 seconds. Adi, can you ask them about this?

Hey guys,

I was wondering about the same after watching some videos last night.  I have emailed the organizer.  I will let you know what I hear.

Glad to see you all getting involved in the process. :great:
