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

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.

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.

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.

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?
