The Video Watermark Contest Rules – Updated!
From 21 March 2009 to 1 May 2009
What do we expect from you?
Download the VidLogo application and test it out. Put a video with a watermark on youtube or anywhere you want and Let us know what you think about the software in the comment box on VidLogo Review: an application to burnmark logos on videos, with a link to your uploaded movie.
Leave a working email address in the comment box so that we can contact you in case something is wrong with the URL or if you are the winner.
Privacy notice: You email address is safe with us. It will not be published on the site and we will not contact you for other reasons then the contest itself, unless you are a member of Miracle Tutorials, in which case you will keep receiving the periodical newsletter.
For the record: Miracle Tutorials is not affiliated in any way to GeoVid, the author of VidLogo.
If you like the software, you can buy it on their site, but for this contest, you can work with the demo version which does have a GeoVid watermark jumping around, but let that not stop you participating.
Buyers of the software do not have an advantage over participants using the demo version in terms of a chance to win. The jury is smart enough to see through the logo and concentrate on your creation.
Who will win?
The person with the most inspiring comment will win this contest! It’s as simple as that.
The video which has the most inspiring and skillfull application of a watermark (in its widest sense) will win this contest and with the full license, the winner can get rid of the GeoVid logo on his/her video, which then will be displayed on www.miracletutorials.com and womencorp.org during 3 months.
Inspiring: How inventive are you with the watermark? And how well blends it with the video?
With skillful we mean, is the placement of the watermark well chosen? A small hint: some video channels place a watermark in a particular corner and as a result, your watermark could be overlapped by that one. How do you deal with that?
Additional information about the contest:
- The size of the watermark doesn’t matter. You can be as creative as you want, as long as it serves its purpose, namely, indicating that the video is owned by somebody or a company.
- The watermark doesn’t need to be a logo, it can be anything that VidLogo can handle: text, a graphic and even a video.
- Again, with the demo version, a watermark of GeoVid will show up. We will neglect that. In other words, you do not need to buy the software first.
- We will not judge the content of the video itself, so we do not expect a professional video from you. However, it is only human that it will subconsciously influence us, so try to make sure that the content has an acceptable quality.
- Your comment itself on the VidLogo Review: an application to burnmark logos on videos will be judged on its merrit and usefullness to the reader. In other words, it doesn’t help to praise the application to the moon, unless you really like tio. Be honest and try to be informative. We simply want to know what you think about it in all honesty, and we are not affiliated with the softwxare house in any way.
