About Beardy
So just who the heck is this “Beardy” guy anyway? Well “Beardy,” the mascot of The Video Contest News is just a random piece of clip art I found and thought was funny. The guy that writes for the site under the name Beardy is a video-contest lover who has won $30,000 or so in contest prizes in the last two years. He spent so much time researching video contests that he decided he might as well give something back to this new cottage industry that’s been so good to him and started this blog.
Yeah, ok…but who is the real Beardy, you’re asking, right? One reason I started this site was so that maybe I could make video contests run better and more fairly. That means I sometimes have to spread some tough love and not everyone reacts well to that. Since it’d be very easy for a disgruntled reader to try and score some revenge points by sabotaging my contest entries, I’ve decided to remain semi-anonymous for now. At least on the actual website. I’m happy to share links to my past work via e-mail so if you e-mail and introduce yourself I’ll probably do the same.
One final note: The real Beardy does not have a beard. Weird, right?
