We ♥ Vancouver Video Contest

Event Details

  • NOTE: This is a FREE contest to enter.



    A video contest dedicated to showing everyone what Vancouver is really all about



    In Response to the recent riot in Downtown Vancouver after the Stanley Cup Finals, we here at Novus want to turn the tide of the negative image being portrayed of Vancouver to the outside world and help rejuvenate the community pride and spirit.



    The Volunteer Cleanup that occurred immediately after the rioting is what has inspired our "We ♥ Vancouver" Video Contest.



    Inspired by our inspiration, VanCity Buzz is going to graciously link to all the videos that compete within the competition, so your video is going to get some great play through our YouTube Channel and on VanCity Buzz.



    We ♥ Vancouver is an online Community Festival Video Contest where we want you to create visual pieces, whether it's a video montage of photos/artwork, narrative short films, or even a video of yourself that tell us why you love Vancouver and what you think makes it a great place to visit, live, and party in.



    Videos can up to 5 minutes in length and we'll showcase them on this webpage, on our facebook page, YouTube Channel, and our TV Channel.



    The Top 3 Videos will win Gift Certificates to The Bay



    1st Place -- $1000 Gift Card To The Bay

    2nd Place -- $500 Gift Card To The Bay

    3rd Place -- $150 Gift Card To The Bay



    There will also be a special "Judges Award" for a 4th video which will receive a $100 Gift Card to The Bay.



    We want to spread the word that a handful of hooligans can't sully this great city and we want your videos to be the rally call.



    SUBMISSION DETAILS



    All Videos must be an original work meant specifically for this festival.



    When submitting your video you must include the We ♥ Vancouver Community Festival logo & VanCity Buzz Logos (high rez copies located on our homepage * click on the image for a larger version) at the beginning of your video.



    To submit your video email us a compressed version to review and then we will provide with you with FTP info to upload to our server and then we will upload it to our YouTube Channel at the beginning of the voting period.



    Also provide a list of tags you want included with your video when it is uploaded.



    Videos are meant to be positive stories involving Vancouver as the main theme.

    HOW TO WIN:

    Once voting begins it will be up to you to have your video get the most "likes" on YouTube.



    Giving someone else's video a "Thumbs Down" will not improve your chances of winning. It's all about being positive, so please don't try to vote down your fellow filmmakers.



    VOTING ENDS AT MIDNIGHT- Any likes received after Midnight will not be counted towards the final tally.
