International Jugglers’ Association Video Tutorial Contest Rules
The International Jugglers' Association Video Tutorial Contest is a contest designed to get more quality instructional juggling videos out on the internet. Anyone can enter the contest by submitting a tutorial video of any form of object manipulation. All members of the juggling community are encouraged to participate. Videos submitted to the competition will be linked to from the IJA home page, Facebook, Twitter, and rec.juggling as they are received. Tutorial videos may be submitted through March 31, 2010. Voting will take place via a third party voting service, linked to from the IJA home page and will happen over the four days after the submission deadline - from the 1st to the 4th of April, 2010. There will be prizes awarded to the top eight videos.
1.) Contest begins at 12:01 AM Pacific Standard Time on February 1, 2010 and ends at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time on March 31, 2010. Prizes will be awarded and winners posted on the IJA website and relevant internet forums on April 5, 2010.
2.) Any props may be used.
3.) All entries must be made specifically for this contest, and **contestants must introduce themselves and make a reference to the International Jugglers’ Association’s Video Tutorial Contest at the beginning of their video.** For example – “My name is Bobby May and this is my entry to the International Jugglers’ Association Video Tutorial Contest. I hope you enjoy it and learn something!” While reposting an old tutorial with the required introduction is not explicitly forbidden, it's against the spirit of the competition and is strongly discouraged.
4.) Contestants may submit up to 3 entries. Entries can come from individuals, groups, or clubs. In the case of groups and clubs, they will have to share the prize if they win - only one prize will be awarded per winning entry. Anyone may enter, no matter where they live. You do NOT have to be an IJA member to participate in this contest.
5.) To enter, post your video on YouTube.com and then email a link to your YouTube video to: tuto...@juggle.org. Be sure to say in your email that you're entering the IJA Video Tutorial Contest. The IJA reserves the right to reject contest entries that the IJA deems inappropriate for any reason. You are not allowed to submit someone else’s video as an entry in the contest.
6.) Contest winners will be selected by votes cast by the public on a third party voting service, linked to from the IJA website – www.juggle.org . We will begin accepting votes at 12:01 AM Pacific Standard Time on April 1, 2010, and we’ll continue accepting votes until 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time on April 4, 2010. Anyone with an internet connection may vote.
We ask voters to judge the tutorial videos on the following criteria: educational value, entertainment value, technical ability, creative video presentation, and humor.
7.) There will be grand prizes for the top three tutorials, as well as prizes for the top five runners-up. These prizes can be found listed on the IJA website – http://www.juggle.org/youtubecontest
