Video Contest Extended!
November 27, 2009
Earlier this week, we launched a WordPress.com Video Contest all about giving thanks. No matter where on Earth you are, we invited you to submit a 30-second video all about the things that bring you joy. And it’s still on!
The new deadline for submissions is midnight Pacific time (UTC-8) on December 4, giving you an extra week to show us your awesome vids.
Remember, the winner of the contest wins a Flip Mino HD video camera, plus a one-year subscription to VideoPress!
To submit your entry, just post your video to your blog with the tag ThanksgivingContest09.
UPDATE: Winners will be notified by email!

Heather, I am very disappointed in you, and WP. This is unfair to all those who took the time to meet the original requirements and deadline. You should have stayed the course, and shown integrity. It certainly does not inspire me to participate in any future WP “contests”.

We extended the deadline to make sure that everyone who wants to enter the contest is able to. Next year we will allow a bigger window for submissions from the start.

I’d do this more for having done so than for the Flip Mino. The year video blog subscription is nice, though.
Is more than one submission allowed per user?

Just one submission per user please.

Great idea! I entered on the 27th, but it’s odd that it doesn’t show up in the search. Surely there are more than 10 entries – it would be fun to check out the competition! Did I do something wrong?
