    [​IMG] Its now time for the TrainBoard 2009 Prototype Video of the Year contest!

    2009 is one month away from being history! From this contest the TrainBoard 2009 Prototype Video of the Year will be chosen. Could it be yours?

    1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will be selected!



    *Please read all rules as they ARE different from previous weeks*
    If you notice a typo, error, or confusing statement, please notify Mystere immediately for correction and clarification.

    TrainBoard 2009 Prototype Video Challenge Topic: "No Subject"

    Video Contest Rules:
    1. Challenges are open to everyone, have fun!!

    2. The entry deadline is MIDNIGHT (UTC -11), Thursday December 31st. Late entries will be accepted up until the official "Time's up!" post within the thread.

    3. For videos to be eligible they must be recorded & edited between Thursday January 1st 2009 and Thursday December 31st 2009.

    4. Any posts with video recorded before the period of the challenge will not be included in the poll and will be moved to the video cutting room floor thread.
    - Ensure dates and times on your camera are correct. -

    5. Only one video per participant so please choose the video carefully.

    6. Though composition is popular among voters, it is not required. Any video or "quick capture" related to the topic is acceptable!

    7. Though not required, commenting on other peoples video is encouraged.
    *note on commenting*
    Using quotes is a great way to easily direct comments. For this contest however, please remove videos from any quotes. This helps keep the thread "clean" for when voting time comes.

    8. Please use the Video Cutting Room Floor Thread to share the videos that did not make the cut.

    9. A clever and distinctive title for your video helps identify it among voters. [​IMG]

    10. Post the date in which the video was recorded. At the very least, include the Month if the exact day is unknown.

    11. Videos must be under 5 minutes so that no one must spend hours going through videos for judging.
    *Make sure to allow time for editing your video and uploading it. Don't wait till the last minute and find the poll closed before your video finishes uploading.

    12.Please follow instructions on this thread for recommendations and instructions for working with video files online and posing them to TrainBoard. If you have any further questions, contact Mystere or simply post them to the thread and we will get back to you asap.
    Within the first week of January 2010, all entries will be put up for a public vote, in which all members of TrainBoard may vote for their favorite entry(s), regardless of whether you submitted an entry or not. A voting bracket will be decided upon when the time comes. You will be allowed to vote for multiple entries.

    OK, enough of that bureaucratic reading. Let the contest begin!!!

    This is the only prototype video I've shot, and it's not great, but I'll enter it just for the heck of it. SP 4449 departing St. Paul, headed for Steamfest in Michigan.
