Appirio Cloud Computing Video Contest

For more details visit our contest group at http://www.youtube.com/group/cloudcontest

Entries are due November 3rd, 2009.

Cloud Computing is gaining a lot of hype in the technology industry, with many claiming it will change the face of computing. But do people really know what it's all about? This is your chance to clear up the confusion about cloud computing, have a little fun doing it, and win up to $3,000 cash. Simply submit an original video on this YouTube group explaining what cloud computing is to the average Joe (or Joan).

Appirio (and your peers) will select the winners based on how creative, entertaining and informative it is. Grand Prize winner gets $3,000 cash. First runner up gets $1,000 and four honorable mentions get $250 each so go crazy. Don't skimp. And don't be too serious either. There's plenty of serious videos on the cloud already out there - sing us a song, tell us a nursery rhyme or a story about a Cloud Computing superhero. Get creative. And hurry. Contest ends on November 3.

How it works:

1. Check out http://dreamforce.appirio.com for more information on the contest
2. Create your original "cloud computing" video (1-2 minutes). Somewhere in the video, include "submitted for the Appirio Cloud Computing Video Contest" (even in the credits)
3. Become a member of YouTube by visiting www.youtube.com, and upload your video.
4. Join the Appirio Cloud Computing Video Contest group at http://www.youtube.com/group/cloudcontest and add your video using the "Submit video" link at the top right corner.
5. Finalists will be chosen the week of November 9. Winners will be announced on November 18.
