Hello again, IADT,

Oh my goodness, we learned so much during our first contest last year. One thing we hope to improve is clarity of the registration process. Last year, there were a couple key elements we missed that would have helped us manage the bulk of the videos - which mostly came in the last week before the deadline.

Also, we're looking into the possibility of utilizing a different means for the public voting for the final winners. The challenge is that, since we are a nonprofit, funds are very limited. Our courses-of-action are sometimes dictated by the extent to which we receive funds.

Yet, we are going to move forward with the Speak New Words contest for 2008. We look forward to more entries this year. Keep checking back for this year's new theme - still reflect the SNWs spirit - but with a new twist! :-)

Cheers!
The Speak New Words Team

Thank you and congratulations. I know that 2007 was your first competition, so -other than being designated as an official Youtube nonprofit - what's the one thing that you'll definitely change for this year?

Hi IADTstudent! It's good to see you back here on the channel! The judges really don't have anything to do with us deleting the former comments. We had hundreds of comments, and most were technical questions about the 2007 contest. We recently were approved as a nonprofit here on YouTube, and we thought we would make a fresh start. That's the only reason. Hope you're well! Cheers!
