Sprint “Epic Contest” winner

Well, Michael Bay has spoken.  The epic director of Transformers and Armageddon was the sole judge in Sprint’s “Epic Contest” in which filmmakers were asked to submit their most epic short, short films.  The contest got some really entertaining entries but in the end, here’s the video that Mr. Bay deemed to be the most Epic of all:

Grand Prize Winner.  Prize: $25,000.

You know what, I liked it.  I watched the other finalists and that’s probably the one I would have picked too.

AND SPEAKING OF THINGS THAT ARE EPIC, I just wanted to make a quick mention of the fact that November turned out to be Videocontestnews.com’s biggest month ever!  Just before midnight on the 30th we got our 10,000th unique visitor of the month.  That’s crazy!  Obviously the huge spike in traffic came from people interested in the Crash the Super Bowl contest.  We got a simmilar (though not as epic) spike thanks to our Crash coverage last year and I’m happy to report that a lot readers stuck with us even during the CTSB off-season.  So I’m hoping 2011 turns out to be a big year for us. If you’re new to the site, thanks for checking us out.  We’ve been getting record numbers of comments lately and I think it really makes the site more entertaining and more informative so keep ‘em coming. And If you ever have some contest news you’d like to share or if you need help with a contest that’s being run un-fairly, please let us know at videocontestnews@gmail.com.

Vacation Time

Yo, Beardy’s heading on vacation this week so VCN’s going to be quiet for a little while.  We should be getting back to complaining about stuff sometime around July 1. Peace out, nerds.

Easiest. Contest. Ever.

If you have a camera, a piece of paper and 5 spare minutes you should probably go ahead and shoot an entry for the Infolinks “Double with a Bubble” video contest.  This video will tell you everything you need to know about entering:

So that’s it.  Take some footage of yourself showing off a bubble or a sign that says the word “double” and you could win one of 61 prizes.  61 PRIZES!  Sure, 40 of those are t-shirts and tote bags but Infolinks is also giving away 10 video cameras and 10 ipods.  Plus the best video of them all gets $1,000.

The deadline to enter is January 1st and so far, only 10 entries have been submitted.  So if you’re a cheap bastard and you’re heading to a Christmas party next weekend, bring a camera and some bubble gum with you.  You can tell your friends that your present to them is that you will shoot, edit and upload a “Double with a Bubble” entry for them!

Crash the Superbowl: When will we know the finalsts?

One of the Doritos flavors I fell in love while shooting my own Crash entry

Do yourself a favor. Try these.

The total number of entries in the Crash the Superbowl competition has inched up from 4047 to 4062.  Over on the contest forum there seemed to be a lot of frantic people who’s entries never appeared in the gallery.  So hopefully this means that all those folks have had their issues resolved and all entries that were submitted by the deadline are now up.

Officially, Doritos will be announcing their 6 finalists for the Crash the Superbowl Competition on January 5th. But from what I’ve read around the interwebs, they will start notifying those finalists in the middle of this month. So if you haven’t heard anything by Christmas you probably should make other plans for the Superbowl.

Recently we asked you guys to send us tips for what you thought were the best Crash entries submitted this year. We’ll be announcing our picks for our favorites next Wednesday. So check back to see if you’re a winner! (in our hearts) And if you have any other entries you want to bring to our attention, leave the links as a comment to this post.
