will the judging panel for contest 2 be different people ? if not - there will be an unfair pre disposition... to commls entered a second time...all videos eintered in conets 1 except top prize are eligible to be re-entered- this is not appropriate to what should be a fair contest- why do they not accept comml dated 8/6/07 - created for their product ? do they think i created it to not enter it ?
1 was two steps. You had to join the contest group. The rules were not written correctly once you registered, they gave you a success screen, but you weren't actually successful. You had to join the contest group.
My video "The Heinz Girl 001" appears on You Tube but I can't find it on Heinz's submitted videos format. Uploaded & submitted August 4th to the letter. If any one has answers please let me know - thanks.
My submission was created and submitted under a microscope, 30 seconds to the exact frame, no copyright issues at all, non offending and I treated the submission (URL,etc) like a surgeon. Submitted on time. Can't find it. I do not understand. If any one has any answers please let me know.
I just read Heinz's regret letter on their site. It said an email was sent if you qualified. I did not receive one (wonder if it got blocked by a filter). Mine was sent in the last week of submissions. Tried a search (The Heinz Girl 001). I went through the "numbers" and can't find it.
Hey everyone, Please google 'youtube video contests'. Go to the second page and read the bulletin that Heinz has posted. I think they are making an attempt to rectify a few mistakes. I am certtainly impressed and invigorated by their unveiling of "Heinz Top This TV Chllenge - TAKE TWO". Another chance to win $57,000 and get a National Ad on TV. READ IT PEOPLE. Kudos to Heinz.
for such swift and responsible decision making. SMART.
This contest, and your failure to address these issues has left me insanely angry at your company and product. I will do everything in my power to let the public know of your lies, mistruths, and horrible customer service. Over 2,000 videos not included, because of your screw up? These are you customers MORONS. Not any more.
I just found out about the Heinz mess when I was recently searching for my commercial in their webpage. Wow, I am stung. I never received an e-mail from them and I was not expecting one since in their rules they never mentioned that participants were supposed to receive an e-mail from them. If I only knew I was supposed to receive an e-mail, I would have tried submitting the entry again and again until I got that #^&*% e-mail.
At this point in time, I'm betting that there will be no new commercial posts to the site. The final 15 has most likely been chosen and from the perspective of the ad agency running this contest, it's over.
At least I won't run out of ketchup any time soon (unless I use it to wash my car, shave etc.).
Our commercial, directed by my wife Sandra, was rejected. We used no copyrighted music, and we went through our footage, frame-by-frame, and digitally removed all company logos.
Please watch our commercial: "It's a Wonderful Ketchup"
We were told that there was an objection to the "It's a Wonderful Life" feeling that we were evoking.
We've watched almost all of the entries now and we've found many, made by talented filmmakers, that were parodies or homages to classic films, TV shows and current commercials. These are all great commercials that were admitted as part of the contest. Which leaves us wondering what we did wrong?
Our cast and crew spent a lot of time and hard work to make this. And we had a great time doing it.
I'm sure that many of you have also experienced the horror of having your commercial entry rejected for no justifiable reason. We would like some answers.
We proceeded to make the commercial in good faith based on the rules Heinz posted on their website. We did not expect Heinz to use its "sole discretion" to reject commercials left and right after they were overwhelmed with submissions on Sunday.
A lot of time and money went into this - and for what? The treatment of the people who poured so much time and effort into this is heartbreaking and disgraceful.
I'm sure there are others out there with similar stories. Please post them. All of our voices should be heard, especially if our commercials were not seen on the entry pages.
Due to the overwhelming submissions in recent days, your video may not appear immediately on our contest page. We take the time to review each video- and as long as you followed the official rules, it will be posted and you will be entered into the contest.
I uploaded my video a week ago, it still hasn't posted and the file type was mpeg-4 which is accepted by you-tube, why hasn't my video been entered into the contest if I did everything correct. Why hasn't Heinz contacted me?
I uploaded on July 29th and it has not posted onto the site nor does my URL show the contest link as all of the others. Is your submission a good one? I am hoping it means it is held up in marketing meetings. After I submitted, a screen appeared that said my submission was successful. I wrote Heinz and they said it can take more than two weeks.

Looking for an awesome commercial? Well, hopefully I can help...Please check mine out (in "my videos"). This is the first video I've ever made (and I even wrote the music), so I think it would be great to have a complete amateur win. Please tell me what you think. Thanks for the view!
We were rejected! Granted the compression when uploaded looks bad but Youtube gave a suggestion on how to correct this. We didn't violate any of Heinz rules we have FIVE stars all good comments... You be the judge
(Part 2) To Heinz Top This Webmaster. This is really UNFAIR to these contestants. There are some entries I want to recommend to friends, but what do I say? Entry #_______, the first or second one — can't remember the title. Yes, the URL is different for each, but why are you complicating things? Contestants (just speaking for myself) are used to just giving an entry #. I hope you fire the subcontractor for this project.
TO: HEINZ TOP THIS WEBMASTER (many thanks to CheetahExpress for above and beyond): The number of entries posted in the gallery on Friday, August 3rd, was 2328. The number was the same yesterday, the 6th. Today, I hoped to catch up watching the latest (it was up to #2712). However, I noticed that every two additions had the same entry #. (cont'd)
Of course, you also had to do this upload before the time limit. She said that it will be a few days before all the videos (and hopefully bugs) will be worked out on the website.
As long as you were able to upload on Youtube and submit the Heinz form, then you'll be added (as long as the video passes the approval process). The website, by-the-way, is being maintained by a subcontractor.
I got off the phone with a customer rep from Heinz. She mentioned that in the last days of the entry period, they've had more entries than in the whole previous months. Simply put, the webmasters are overwhelmed with updating the TopThis website. She was very nice, she went on to say that the turnout is more than they could have imagined.
hey...my bf posted his at about 11:50PM last night and it's still not showing up on youtube. He received confirmation that it was 100%loaded...but we don't see it. How are we to register?
I had a similar problem!! I tried for FOUR HOURS to get my commercial to upload and never received any sort of confirmation at all! Whomever maintains this page isn't getting back with me, YouTube has no clue and the Heinz offices are "closed." Hey Chad! Can ya hook a sister up with solution please?
Is there anyway to know you're registered. I get a message the video has been submitted and is awaiting approval. When do I receive notice it's been approved?
Not sure if I did it first time, but after a 24 hour no response I did FOR SURE push "add to contest" and it said something about waiting for approval but now THAT's been over 24 hours. Any ideas?
I'm out of new ideas. The one thing I do know is that Heinz isn't watching any of these blogs. Otherwise we wouldn't be discussing this rght now. The way I see is that if we're in then we're in if not then it was sure fun to make this commercial.
After TWO days, I have still not received confirmation on my commercial entry! Now I'm scared I may have entered it twice, in which case I would be disqualified, right? NOT FAIR!!!!
I'm writing this just in case there's some of you that may have overlooked an important step. Read carefully each word on the "Submit Your Videos" page.
Step 1 says to upload to ... Top This TV Challenge contest page. You can't just upload to YouTube itself. It has to be uploaded from this specific website in YouTube where asks to "add to contest". This page can be found under the "Community" tab of Youtube and then to "Contests". At the bottom of the Contest section, you'll find Heinz Contest. I hope this helps.
By clicking on the "submit a video" button in the Heinz banner, it will lead you to your list of videos that most of us have already uploaded.
This is what I found to be the possible solution to at least the problem that I ran into. My guess is that some of you may have overlooked the same thing.
I noticed a lot of videos that were coming up as 29 secs as did mine when they are exactly 30 sec. Mine plays as 30 secs in every other player. Hope this isn't overlooked.
I shot at 30fps and edited in 29.97 and I took it to the exact frame of 30 secs. I exported again with one frame over 30 and it still read 29 secs on You Tube. I noticed that a lot of the more professional submissions come up at 29 secs because they probably edited to the precise frame as I did.
I uploaded my first video, which was 29.997 seconds long and it showed up as 29 seconds, so I deleted it, added a frame to the original and uploaded again. Again 29 secs displayed. I went to the TOPTHISTV page and noticed that all entries there showed up at exactly 30 seconds, so I again deleted the video, added one more frame, and this time I got 30 seconds. I now really frustrated because my video does not show the HEINZ symbol beside it even when I did everything correctly and on time.
Less the 3 hours to deadline and my entry still has not posted to the Official site. Good Luck Everyone! I am very impressed with lots of the entries. Good Work. I hope to join 14 others in the top ten. Take a peek at my entry by clicking on my name above. Peace
Is there any way of knowing if your video has went through or not?? I uploaded it yesterday, but it isn't showing up in my videos. Does that mean I didn't do something correctly, or does it go through YouTube before showing up in my videos?? Any info would be appreciated, I have a cute clip with my nephew and I am afraid I may not get it through. Thanks.
I still have not seen a confirmation that I'm even entered, and at this point I'm so beyond frustrated that I can't even focus on it any longer. The sad thing is, it was faster for me to shoot the damn spot then to enter it in this contest!
Hey 'Top This Team', I believe you have a glitch in the system. No videos have been added in three days. The contest page states that there are only 2328 submissions. However, occasionally, it will show more, but 'won't allow the youtube user to view them. I don't expect a response to this post, as that is not the way you guys 'roll', but I am sure the information I offer is something you would want to know about if in fact you already don't.
I also uploaded and registered my commercial on Sunday (take a look - "It's A Wonderful Ketchup") and have not received a confirmation yet. Do entries receive an email confirmation, or do you have to wait and see if it is posted? Currently, the counter shows over 2500 submissions, but I am unable to view any commercials past 2328. Thanks to anyone with an answer to these burning questions...
Hey, ANYONE! I posted our commercial yesterday (MIDNIGHT SNACK -- check it out!) and have not gotten a reply or confirmation from Heinz or YouTube. Has anyone received confirmation? How do we know if our submission was accepted?
Hey 'Top This Team', I believe you have a glitch in the system. No videos have been added in three days. The contest page states that there are only 2238 submissions.

I spent amonth working on a video for this contest and they rejected it because I supposedly did wrong. When I saw the list of things, every one was blatantly NOT TRUE. What the fuck scam bullshit is this?
Lots of cool vids! My daughter was nagging me to do this but I wasnt going to because contsest take the fun out! But then I thought of something funny (well, with my sardonic humor) and decided to make it for fun. Please check it out and tell my son how he looked with catsup all over him! Ha! Ha!
Good Luck to Everyone here from the bottom of my heart! I'm going to check out everyone's baby this week -- in between all the chaos, a busy week for sure! ~from Sonya Rose [Top This TV Challenge Entry #1316]
Dude your video sucks... it is way to played out and your shots are way to short.. put less running and more intresting shots. your audience will get bored unless you change you shots..
Maybe so, but now in 2007 two things are happening: One, people are realizing that fast food sucks, and two, fast food is increasing the realization of suck by making stuff "healthy". Still, I've been to highly-populated areas
and have seen few notably fat people. Still, while America has quite a few food chains, Britain's got its share of odd stuff: let's not forget the story of the pregnant nine-year-old. Chavs. Still somewhat widespread racism. Most Haunted.
rofl...this is for all those american fat cunts... put that ketchup on ya fat burger ya fuckin twats an shove it up ya ass , this advert is bollox... as if a "youtube" advert will be on a heinzezzzzzzz advert on tv....hmmm bollox ....i dont like ketchup on my fries, yeah fukit...pizza time.
Yeah, all Americans are fat wastes of space, aren't they, Hitler? I am an American and I know very few fat people. There's probably just as many, if not more fat guys in Britain or whatever country you're from. Nice vocabulary, by the way, I noticed about every other word is either not repeatable in front of a child or only used by children. YOU FAT AMERICANS ALL U DO IS EAT...TIME 4 PIZZA LOL.
Seen on Youtube! No way!

Simply put, the webmasters are overwhelmed with updating the TopThis website. She was very nice, she went on to say that the turnout is more than they could have imagined.

I had a similar problem!! I tried for FOUR HOURS to get my commercial to upload and never received any sort of confirmation at all! Whomever maintains this page isn't getting back with me, YouTube has no clue and the Heinz offices are "closed." Hey Chad! Can ya hook a sister up with solution please?

Is there anyway to know you're registered. I get a message the video has been submitted and is awaiting approval. When do I receive notice it's been approved?
philiphodges 4 years ago
Not sure if I did it first time, but after a 24 hour no response I did FOR SURE push "add to contest" and it said something about waiting for approval but now THAT's been over 24 hours. Any ideas?
possibleimp 4 years ago
I'm out of new ideas. The one thing I do know is that Heinz isn't watching any of these blogs. Otherwise we wouldn't be discussing this rght now. The way I see is that if we're in then we're in if not then it was sure fun to make this commercial.

After TWO days, I have still not received confirmation on my commercial entry! Now I'm scared I may have entered it twice, in which case I would be disqualified, right? NOT FAIR!!!!

I'm writing this just in case there's some of you that may have overlooked an important step. Read carefully each word on the "Submit Your Videos" page.
CheetahExpress 4 years ago
Step 1 says to upload to ... Top This TV Challenge contest page. You can't just upload to YouTube itself. It has to be uploaded from this specific website in YouTube where asks to "add to contest". This page can be found under the "Community" tab of Youtube and then to "Contests". At the bottom of the Contest section, you'll find Heinz Contest. I hope this helps.
CheetahExpress 4 years ago
By clicking on the "submit a video" button in the Heinz banner, it will lead you to your list of videos that most of us have already uploaded.
This is what I found to be the possible solution to at least the problem that I ran into. My guess is that some of you may have overlooked the same thing.

How many frames total and how many frames per second did you shoot?
CheetahExpress 4 years ago
I shot at 30fps and edited in 29.97 and I took it to the exact frame of 30 secs. I exported again with one frame over 30 and it still read 29 secs on You Tube. I noticed that a lot of the more professional submissions come up at 29 secs because they probably edited to the precise frame as I did.
dayrunmonty 4 years ago
I had the same problem!!
jenvargas 4 years ago
I uploaded my first video, which was 29.997 seconds long and it showed up as 29 seconds, so I deleted it, added a frame to the original and uploaded again. Again 29 secs displayed. I went to the TOPTHISTV page and noticed that all entries there showed up at exactly 30 seconds, so I again deleted the video, added one more frame, and this time I got 30 seconds. I now really frustrated because my video does not show the HEINZ symbol beside it even when I did everything correctly and on time.

Is there any way of knowing if your video has went through or not?? I uploaded it yesterday, but it isn't showing up in my videos. Does that mean I didn't do something correctly, or does it go through YouTube before showing up in my videos?? Any info would be appreciated, I have a cute clip with my nephew and I am afraid I may not get it through. Thanks.

I still have not seen a confirmation that I'm even entered, and at this point I'm so beyond frustrated that I can't even focus on it any longer. The sad thing is, it was faster for me to shoot the damn spot then to enter it in this contest!

Hey 'Top This Team', I believe you have a glitch in the system. No videos have been added in three days. The contest page states that there are only 2328 submissions. However, occasionally, it will show more, but 'won't allow the youtube user to view them. I don't expect a response to this post, as that is not the way you guys 'roll', but I am sure the information I offer is something you would want to know about if in fact you already don't.

I also uploaded and registered my commercial on Sunday (take a look - "It's A Wonderful Ketchup") and have not received a confirmation yet. Do entries receive an email confirmation, or do you have to wait and see if it is posted? Currently, the counter shows over 2500 submissions, but I am unable to view any commercials past 2328. Thanks to anyone with an answer to these burning questions...

Maybe so, but now in 2007 two things are happening: One, people are realizing that fast food sucks, and two, fast food is increasing the realization of suck by making stuff "healthy". Still, I've been to highly-populated areas
and have seen few notably fat people. Still, while America has quite a few food chains, Britain's got its share of odd stuff: let's not forget the story of the pregnant nine-year-old. Chavs. Still somewhat widespread racism. Most Haunted.

Yeah, all Americans are fat wastes of space, aren't they, Hitler? I am an American and I know very few fat people. There's probably just as many, if not more fat guys in Britain or whatever country you're from. Nice vocabulary, by the way, I noticed about every other word is either not repeatable in front of a child or only used by children. YOU FAT AMERICANS ALL U DO IS EAT...TIME 4 PIZZA LOL.
