[BubbleBobble79]

Take me!

[SmackAttack52]

anybody know where they are going to post the finalists? or when?

[caitlinhannon]

I sort of wondering about this still...I posted my video before the deadline and I linked to it on my own page in my essay to Nick, but it's not here. I hope this doesn't mean we're out of the contest...

[tracyboyer]

I uploaded my video on January 11th (ie two weeks ago) and it still hasn't shown as a response ... I hope that an unexpected glitch didn't prevent all of these video entries from being correctly posted!

[gmwilgus]

To the powers that be.. I posted my video a couple days before deadline but have yet to see it listed among the video responses. Hoping that it's still in the right cyber-space dock... gmwilgus.

[helensdaughter7]

Mine has yet to make an appearance either. how discouraging :(

[znicolay]

Same problem for me. Just wanted to be on the record.

[Ross9387]

sigh...i feel like a lot of us are in the same boat...lets be patient :-D

[courtwitt09]

I'm still waiting on mine, I submitted it over a week ago. Anyone else?

[atuneonmylips]

I also submitted a video - I'm not seeing it either, so I just want to make sure you're aware.

[MELfilms]

same, waiting for my video to appear!

[ConnorToohill]

I'm in the same situation as gracewyan. hopefully they show up soon!

[gracewyan]

I'm waiting for my video to show up here, as well. Thought it wouldn't hurt to mention it here in case the NYT staff is looking through these comments!

[hwhite1989]

I've had the same problem. It's possible that the contest administrators have elected to not publicly post all of the videos as responses.

[moriel18]

same issue for me. I assume it takes time to process.

[courtwitt09]

It's been happening to me to. I'd recommend waiting, but also sending an email to the contest's email address letting them know that it hasn't gone through yet.

I've been waiting about 6 days, I think.

[DunjaZdero]

I uploaded my video couple of days ago and it hasn't shown up as a response. However, I did not get a message about it needing approval either. Also, when I tried to resubmit my video, I get the message that I don't have any videos to submit. Anyone else had this problem?

[jaycijae]

@DunjaZdero that happened to me too, that's why i did it twice. i have no idea...

[suzyberta]

@ jaycijae and Jilliancannon:

You need to be a little patient. It took 2 days, I believe, until my video showed as a response. I know YouTube itself is sometimes delayed in updating information regarding the videos.

If you got the response "Video will be uploaded once approved by poster" or something to that extent, I reckon you'll be fine. Hope it helps!

[Jilliancannon]

I have the same question. so I'm not really sure????

[jaycijae]

HELP- anyone who might know? I've uploaded my video as a response to this twice, I know they have to approve it, but is there ANY way to be sure that I've actually submitted it? The contest won't give individual acknowledgment of submission.

[dooners2u]

need to focus on what I can do, not what I can't. I have Lupus and it doesn't have me. I won't let the healthcare system do me in...Thanks for your support with Lupus. Your article on Niki White is imprinted in my mind forever. I hope to honor her in all I do to win our battle with Heatlhcare. I work toward the fight for all to have healthcare despite their status or illness. The end point shall be to allow people the right to live

[dooners2u]

Do you cover the topic Lupus in Africa? Aids? I know we are dying here and wonder at what rate they are dying there? I am a graduate in Medical Administrative Specialist Program with a Associate Degree. I would like to accompany you on a trip and learn more about helping others. .

[ishusha]

Hello,

I posted a video response titled "Teachings from the Slums," and was just wondering if there was any way of making sure it went through, as it did not appear under "video responses". Thanks!

Ilana

[obitoxitachi]

did you post it as a response? if not, that's why it isn't showing. if you did, he might need to approve it first. hope this helps.~

[charmedlemo]

so when in spring is this trip exactly and what kind of video do you want it to be posted?

[TheFriendlyCombatant]

So, do we just post our video application as a video response to this invitation???

[TheFriendlyCombatant]

Awesome! I've been hoping to hear about another Kristof trip! Look out for my video application!

[LUXBeaker]

chinese migration africa

There is also another group migrating to Africa but I do not know how to discribe them. Americans are also migrating there because the resources and other reasons.

[PrimeReality]

@Jew5WreckNations

There are ALOT of people migrating top africa. Asians and others have been migrating there because their nations can not survive without the resources from Africa.

[PrimeReality]

@Jew5WreckNations

Africa is a BIG place.

[PrimeReality]

@Jew5WreckNations

Africa's population is not as big as you might think.

[TheCongoWasRobbed]

Look at my profile.

[PrimeReality]

Many nations can not survive without keeping African nations down. They support corrupt governments. That is how they feed you guys. Believe it or not.

[PrimeReality]

@Jew5WreckNations

When Europeans left they left HEAVY loans on African nations that can never be paid off. There are restrictions with the loans from the IMF.

[WaterJumping]

So your people want to disgrace them. God is not asleep like I stated. The rape that is taking place in Africa will not make you gods and goddess.

[WaterJumping]

There is alot of history that is being hidden. It is ashame that whites want so much to be God. The religion in some parts actually teach that your race fell from the skys as gods and goddess.

Yes Africans did take europeans and had the in herams.

[WaterJumping]

Your people have turned Africa upside down. Just because one time long ago Africans had their females in Harems. Also if they did not dismantle Africa. Many economys world wide would CRASH. There is a God and he is not asleep

[SPLENOROUS]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Check out Tiger Woods a mistress carol remake!

[dpstevenson]

Nicholas Kristof is truly awesome.

[Sk82beast]

I wanna go to Africa so I can see some wild niggers in their natural habitat

[DesertHairedPeople]

There is a God and he is not asleep.

[DesertHairedPeople]

@Jew5WreckNations

You mean africa you guys turned Africa upside down put restictions on them and do not want them to prosper.

[AfricanReality]

@Jew5WreckNations

You would not have a computer in your home if it was not for Africans.

[SexCyberGuideCom]

thanks

[Stark1010]

Win a trip to Africa?? Are you trying to kill us??

[AfricanReality]

@Stark1010

Africa is a beautiful place. You have been lied to all these years.

[Stark1010]

So starving people, modern day slavery, warlords and rape and murder is beautiful??

Sure you can point out a few nice places, but over all Africa is still 100 years behind.

[alipes07]

Africa? lol who the fck would want to go there

[AfricanReality]

@alipes07

Tons of people would love to go to Africa. The trip is very expensive.

[knockonyourbackdoor]

A trip to Africa? hahahahahaaaaaaaaaa

[nandatebayo666]

All the power to you man, its heart-wrenching to see the poor of the world suffer.

I wrote the entrance essay last year, but missed the deadline. I will most definitely be applying again!

[christielynn04]

Hey Nick! This sounds like an amazing opportunity! I would love to apply, but I go to school in Toronto (UofT). Will you be accepting Canadian applicants?

[Rosebud12345678]

I would pissed if that arrow went somewhere but that fruit.

[pathos1957]

The perfect person for this trip is Katharine Keith! The amazing Public Diplomacy scholar from USC!

[aahmad09]

Hopefully, the contest will still be up by the time I am attending college.
