Our Planet, Our Stuff, Our Choice - EPA Video Contest - $2500 Prize - Contest Deadline Passed

[bookhound63]

Contest is closed, and I never saw an actual entry, I saw some pretty funny spoofs though. I think you never got enough serious videos to even HAVE a contest. Where is the winning video? Its been six months.

"EPA is sponsoring a video to highlight [THEIR] actions on our environment." ...and your wallet.

[Cowboyjlove]

What a crock. Now the government is giving away tax payer money to agree with them. This government need to stop spending and recycle itself be its to late for all of us.

I love the idea of getting people to make a video- but I think the goal should be to create something viral rather than home grown videos, something that's engaging and will get lots of views and make it into more homes increasing awareness about recycling. If you do another contest like this, make it about being fun/engaging, something that people will want to pass on, share, discuss, and ultimately which will remind.

[keancares]

I finished my video but have had trouble loading it to youtube. am trying to fix this, but will have to try again tomorrow. any chance it will still be accepted?

[usepagroups]

If you had submitted your contest entry form prior to the submission deadline, I can still review the corresponding YouTube submission.

[flipthelyd]

just want to make sure my video uploaded.... it said it uploaded successfully as a video response, but it "failed" in my account. also, was is the deadline midnight? east coast or west coast? i'm in cali : )

[robotbreath]

Hey just wondering if my video made it as a response - thanks!

[rejoev]

I uploaded our video on behalf of the Philadelphia Prison System. I just want make sure that it will be entered in the contest. Thanks.

I am very sorry, I submitted a form for my video Recycle EAV, but found a typo that badly needed correction on the video once I had posted it. Therefore, I sent a new form with the new YouTube url of the corrected version of this video. I noticed on the form there was a strict stipulation NOT to send two forms for the same video, but the error was badly in need of correction. I hope this doesn't compromise our chances in this contest; we've worked so hard on this video! Is this ok?

[Acollinf6]

U guys rock. Thanks for inspiring us by luring us with prize money. I uploaded my video a few hours ago and was nervous that it didn't work but now I see the 30 version, recycleville 30 seconds. I have seen some amazing entries so far. Good luck to everyone!

Hello! My name is Capri Copp, and I submitted my video through my username ccopp5 yesterday. I received an email stating you received it, but I do not see it showing up on the site. Is there something I need to do? Thanks!

[333tristan]

I uploaded my video yesterday and i do not see it posted in the video responses list.

[DavidDCZYChen]

Hi, i entered your contest, and awaiting your approve, but will we get a notice if we are not approved? because i'm also fairly new to this. Thanks!

[usepagroups]

There is a delay because all videos must be reviewed to make sure they meet contest requirements. You will receive an email or youtube message regarding your entry.

[Originalishdotcom]

I posted a video response and it hasn't showed up yet either. Is there a delay or is it just waiting approval?

[usepagroups]

There is a delay, but your video has now been approved and you should have received email confirmation. Thanks for entering!

[lysosomes2]

is it ok if it's 62 seconds?

[usepagroups]

I will approve it if it's only 2 seconds over, but please try to keep it to 60 seconds or under. Thanks!

[karlbruskotter]

I entered my video, but don't see it posted yet. Is there a delay or approval process?

[usepagroups]

Your video is not showing up as a video response to the EPA video. The video meets the criteria and I will approve it once it is posted as a video response.

[Originalishdotcom]

I'm also not seeing my video up in the response section. Is there a delay? I marked it as a response.

[usepagroups]

There is a delay, as videos need to be reviewed to make sure they meet the criteria before they show up in the video responses.

[karlbruskotter]

I posted a video response, but don't see the video on the site yet. Did I do something wrong? I'm new at this and really need to get my video in today. Does it post immediately or is there a delay or approval process?

[usepagroups]

Your choice.

[333tristan]

if you are under 18, and your video is in the top 3, does that mean that you would win one of those prizes, or if u submit in that age group are you only eligible for the two student prizes, just wondering

[ellievely]

[OhSnapitsJuzDin]

Yay! I just uploaded my video!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL !

* To usepagroups * -

I accidently replied this video with the wrong unfinished video. I already deleted the wrong video off my account and Fixed everything up and re-uploaded it and replied it to this video. So everything should be fine.

Most likely you'll get 2 video responses. but, 1 of them wont work. i hope so. THANKS AGAIN! AWESOME CONTEST!

[GuyzNiteOut]

Can we steal your ending to put as our 3 second end to our video clip?

[usepagroups]

@GuyzNiteOut

You are not allowed to use the EPA logo (seal) in your video. You may however use the "filmstrip" logo and the text.

[seachellie4]

should the video be between 30 and 60 seconds, or one or the other?

[usepagroups]

@seachellie4

It must be 30 OR 60 seconds long, not inbetween.

[usepagroups]

The rule has been updated. The video can be any length between 30 and 60 seconds. Minimum video time: 30 seconds, Maximum video time: 60 seconds. Anything in between is okay.

[lysosomes2]

can you submit more than one per person?

[usepagroups]

You can submit as many as you want but you need to fill out one entry form per submission. Also, each video must have a unique title.

[lysosomes2]

cool.
