hi everybody!! I JUST finished the video I am submitting for the etsy handmade moment contest. There is some really really impressive videos up, and it had caused me to decide against entering... UNTIL a couple days ago. I finally decided that my thinking was NOT the attitude to have! :) So, I went ahead and put one together, have plans for another too!! I really did have fun, and I'm so glad I did.
The prizes are a HUGE bonus... this is what etsy has to say on the subject:
We will select 10 finalists from those submissions which surpass a minimum score based on a variety of criteria, and then invite the community to vote on a winner. The winning submissions will receive a total of $10,000 (and we'll use the video, too)! First Prize: $3,250Three Runners Up: $1,250
Six Finalists: $500
so you see what I mean? :) To be even a finalist would be perfectly sweet.
If your wondering how you can help... I really appreciate the thought! ;) The number of views counts, so just watching the video is a big help! If you would like to go one step further... you can embed the video into your own blog, by copying this highlighted text <iframe src="http://www.etsy.tv/video/a-unique-experience-wmv/player" width="420" height="451" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe> into you HTML tab of your blog post If you need helping do so, e-mail me! ( vol 25. @hotmail.com ) OR you can simply link to the page with the player: http://www.etsy.tv/video/a-unique-experience-wmv I only have a week to catch up with videos that have been there for awhile, so I need each and every view!! :)
I appreciate it bunches! I have some really really exciting news that I should finally be able to share with you all in the next week. I've been keeping it a secret since February! I'm bursting at the seams! :)
thanks everyone!!
UPDATE: It appears I may have jumped the gun on this- I'm still awaiting admin approval, and it doesnt look as though views are being counted yet?
