Objective: If you would like to enter this contest, you must design a video to be uploaded on youtube that promotes and/or celebrates Eternal-WoW on its third birthday! Please post the link to your video submission as a comment on this thread.
Rewards: The top three submissions, depending on the quality of each, will be awarded a substantial amount of VIP points. This is the current reward scheme that I have in mind:
1st - 5000 VIP points
2nd - 2500 VIP points
3rd - 1000 VIP points
The Deadline: Sunday, May 27th
Contest Criteria: I will review all the submissions at the close of the contest and evaluate each video on the following categories:
1.
Overall quality of the video: This includes video resolution, the editing, and the overall "feel" of the video.
2.
Make it Enjoyable!: Keep in mind that this contest is all about fun. We're trying to show the private server community that Eternal-WoW can PARTY!
3.
Focus: Keep in mind that this will be a video to promote Eternal-WoW on it's third birthday, so do your best to keep it fun! More video contests will be hosted in the future which will have a broader range of available subjects for you to base your videos on.
4.
Music: This category will be graded on both the quality of the music and how much it relates to the video you make.
NOTE: Any submissions with copyrighted music will be automatically denied unless you have express permission to use that content.5.
Originality: Be creative! I will enjoy videos much more if they are creative, and if there is a story line to the video that will be a HUGE plus.
The main objective that I'm aiming for with this contest is to basically reward the players for having some fun while promoting the server that we all love, Eternal-WOW. A video that is fun and inviting to potential players will have a much higher chance of winning than a video, of say, Taurens grazing in Mulgore. Keep this in mind when you're making your video, even having a bunch of fun with your friends leading up to the birthday would be great if you could capture the fun for potential viewers.
On that note, don't include anything that might discourage anyone from joining us here at Eternal-WoW. We're trying to increase our community and in turn this will increase the amount of people that you get to play with or faceroll! 
- The Details of Your Video: Make sure Eternal-WoW is in the title of the video and description, and include a link to http://www.eternal-wow.com in the description along with "set realmlist logon.eternal-wow.com".
- Go HD: Make it in true HD, which means 720p or higher.
- Length: 1-4 minutes long should be a good time anything longer is unnecessary unless you're planning on doing a full-on Machinima. If that is the case then the sky is the limit!
- Editing: More than 2-4 seconds of the same scene on a video is like an eternity, keep each scene or shot short to make a better quality video. HINT: We are impressed by quality editing!
- Synchronization: Include music that follows with the tempo and theme of the scene playing in the video. HINT: We are impressed with good syncronization of editing and music!
- Make it fun!
Please don't trash each others videos in the comments as the real goal here is to increase player count through video advertising. If I see anyone trashing someone else's video in a non-constructive way, you will be automatically disqualified from the competition. Any criticism that isn't constructive will be deleted.
An example of constructive criticism could be:
Wraist's video could use some better synchronization, and the quality isn't too great either! However I liked how his scenes were short and he demonstrated how fun Eternal-WoW can really be.
An example of non-constructive criticism:
Wraistz vid sux, bro
Are you a power YouTuber? Youtube account request: show more On a side note we are requesting anyone out there who has a highly subscribed youtube account/channel to download all of Eternal-WoW's videos on youtube (there are many) and reupload to their account. This is for safe keeping since videos tend to disappear over time. If you are willing to upload the video on your account please leave a comment stating how many subscribers/views you have on your youtube account. Feel free to do this on your own, but if you intend to seriously reupload all of our library of videos, send me a private PM and we'll reward your efforts on completion.
