    My gaming forum is having a contest in November for some PC Games.

    Contest for November 2009 - Forums on console and computer games

    Instead of just posting in the forum, the winners are determined by the total number of points they get in a one month time period

    1 point for every post in the forum

    50 points for every gaming video uploaded to youtube with ELGMS.COM watermarked in it, and a working link to the site in the first line of the video description.
    Videos must meet youtube guidelines, and must be at least 1 minute long. Please do not post any rick rolled videos.

    For all of the guidelines and rules, please check out the above link.

    1st place winner - $50 worth of games off of Steam
    2nd place winner - $25 worth of games off of steam

    Can we submit videos we already made? :D

    You can see my machinima films on Vimeo here.

    I also have a You Tube account HERE, but You Tube likes to remove stuff sometimes, so you can find more of my films on Vimeo.


    Some of my most popular films:

    Orbiter Space Flight Simulator - [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS5HYznzw-k"]YouTube - 'Apollo 11: Remastered' - An Orbiter Film[/ame]
    Microsoft Flight Simulator X - [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lio09_CP2go"]YouTube - 'Glide Path' - An FSX Film[/ame]
    Silent Hunter 4 - [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVXKgvcNuuM"]YouTube - 'Pacific Fury II' - A Silent Hunter 4 Film[/ame]
    GTA: San Andreas - [ame="http://www.vimeo.com/1514167"]'A Tragic Love' - GTA: San Andreas Film on Vimeo[/ame]

    Only if they contain a watermark for elgms.com in the video

    A lot of sites pull videos from youtube. So just putting a link to elgms in the video description does not tap into that market. I want people to see the sites name regardless of they are on or off youtube.

    Fair enough. I would join and enter the contest officially, but I no longer have the raw files needed to re-render those films without severe loss of quality. I like the idea though, maybe I will have some sort of comp with prizes on my site as well. :)
