The time limit of 2 minutes... assume a video is 2:09... or 2:02... or 2:17. Is this a HARD 2 minutes or a "soft" 2 minutes we are talking about here? Thanks… last question (yeah right).

I am happy to work it into the script, but if it isn't a requirement it would help to not use it. Saying "Get Rich Slowly" 3 times fast can get ugly :) Real fast, do we need to mention “GRS”?

I normally feel like North Americans are all one - but distinctions like this really hold 'Canadians' back. (It is not just this contest, but many other 'US' contests.) Couldn't you send a book to a best international entry? We have the same financial pressures/problems and I am sure we have creative, intelligent ideas too.

This gives you all rights to the work. Seems a bit excessive to me: Once a contestant has submitted a video for the Contest, such contestant agrees that Sponsor shall own the entry submitted (including all rights embodied therein) and that Sponsor and its designees may exploit, edit, modify, display and distribute the entry and all elements of such entry, including, without limitation, the names and likenesses of any persons or locations embodied therein, in any and all media now known or not currently known, throughout the world in perpetuity without compensation, permission or notification to entrant or any third party.

I've got a few ideas - I'm going to have to think hard about my best tip! Olga, I bet you know someone with a camera. Borrowing or sharing community resources is a frugal action. :) JD, your announcement video is great. But not so great to deter us from sending in entries. Oh, this is a neat contest.

I also have no clue how to upload it if I do figure out whom to borrow it from. No prize for me - can you say some success stories cut out chances to win? Like, if you don't buy a lottery ticket, you never get a million? :)) Have fun, looking forward hearing those stories!
