September 2013
Contest: Welcome to the Playground
Deadline: October 5th - extended!
A lot of our favorite fandoms include child characters - Walt Lloyd on Lost, Carl Grimes on The Walking Dead, even little Cece Halpert on The Office! However, many of these kids get overlooked when it comes to fanvidding. This month, our contest is all about kids! Pick your favorite child character and make a tribute to him or her! Any kid is fine - whether it's a baby or an 18-year-old (teenagers count!). Multifandoms are also welcome, just as long as you're spending time showcasing the children of these fandoms! Have fun embracing your inner child!
The Rules
Specific Contest Rules
• Give us a tribute to your favorite child characters.
• Multifandom is welcome!
• Canon only. No AUs or OCs.
• Running time should be under five minutes. We suggest three to five minutes.
• The more creative, the better. Don't be afraid to take risks.
• When entering your video on the Submit page, you MUST enter "September 2013 contest submission" exactly in your vid's description.
General Contest Rules:
• Contest submissions should be entered through the Submit page.
• All regular submissions Rules apply.
• Only one entry per vidder.
• Videos already submitted and RELEVANT can be submitted again, but we would rather see something fresh. (Please contact a CM if you wish to enter a previously-submitted video)
• Please do not use Rapidshare, Yousendit, Mediafire, or Sendspace as your only hosting place as the links tend to expire quickly.
• If you're using Youtube as your primary link, please also provide us with an alternative link. Far too often, YT is either disabled or muted by the time the contest is ready to be judged. Mediafire and zshare are just a couple of the sites out there that can be used as reliable backup links. We do realise that there have been a lot of issues with file-sharing websites recently but if you can find anywhere that you're comfortable uploading to and that is easily accessible, that would be great!
• Keep in mind that however you choose to host your video, it must be available to be watched at least until after the deadline has passed. If we can not access your video at the time of judgment it will not be considered.
• Have fun! _________________

Can I have an extension? Maybe like Oct 4.
I started off really good with my vid but I've been so busy the last
couple weeks that I've hardly had time to work on it. I hit a creative wall when I tried to re-open it to finish it off and if I could have a couple extra days I think I can get it back to how I originally envisioned it.

I'm still hoping to get my vid submitted. I'm pretty much down to one scene and the fixing all the audio. It will probably be this evening before I get it submited.

I uploaded my vid to Vimeo but when I went to copy the link it told me the video was unavailable. So I had to delete it.
I'm going to try to re-upload it and hopefully it works this time. Can I have an extension to the 5th, just in case it fails again?
Edit: Just checked my re-upload of it. It hasn't told me it failed...but it says it is still converting. But it also says it has been there an hour. I don't know what it's doing. It was supposed to be ready an hour ago.

Thanks for the extension. The second link finally came in this morning and I was able to get it to work. Just got the vid submitted.
