International Jugglers’ Association Video Tutorial Contest Rules
The International Jugglers' Association Video Tutorial Contest is a
contest designed to get more quality instructional juggling videos out on
the internet. Anyone can enter the contest by submitting a tutorial video
of any form of object manipulation. All members of the juggling community
are encouraged to participate. Videos submitted to the competition will
be linked to from the IJA home page, Facebook, Twitter, and rec.juggling
as they are received. Tutorial videos may be submitted through March 31,
2010. Voting will take place via a third party voting service, linked to
from the IJA home page and will happen over the four days after the
submission deadline - from the 1st to the 4th of April, 2010. There will
be prizes awarded to the top eight videos.
1.) Contest begins at 12:01 AM Pacific Standard Time on February 1, 2010
and ends at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time on March 31, 2010. Prizes will
be awarded and winners posted on the IJA website and relevant internet
forums on April 5, 2010.
2.) Any props may be used.
3.) All entries must be made specifically for this contest, and
**contestants must introduce themselves and make a reference to the
International Jugglers’ Association’s Video Tutorial Contest at the
beginning of their video.** For example – “My name is Bobby May and this
is my entry to the International Jugglers’ Association Video Tutorial
Contest. I hope you enjoy it and learn something!” While reposting an old
tutorial with the required introduction is not explicitly forbidden, it's
against the spirit of the competition and is strongly discouraged.
4.) Contestants may submit up to 3 entries. Entries can come from
individuals, groups, or clubs. In the case of groups and clubs, they will
have to share the prize if they win - only one prize will be awarded per
winning entry. Anyone may enter, no matter where they live. You do NOT
have to be an IJA member to participate in this contest.
5.) To enter, post your video on YouTube.com and then email a link to your
YouTube video to:
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
. Be sure to say in your email that
you're entering the IJA Video Tutorial Contest. The IJA reserves the right
to reject contest entries that the IJA deems inappropriate for any reason.
You are not allowed to submit someone else’s video as an entry in the
contest.
6.) Contest winners will be selected by votes cast by the public on a
third party voting service, linked to from the IJA website –
www.juggle.org . We will begin accepting votes at 12:01 AM Pacific
Standard Time on April 1, 2010, and we’ll continue accepting votes until
11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time on April 4, 2010. Anyone with an internet
connection may vote.
We ask voters to judge the tutorial videos on the following criteria:
educational value, entertainment value, technical ability, creative video
presentation, and humor.
7.) There will be grand prizes for the top three tutorials, as well as
prizes for the top five runners-up. These prizes can be found listed on
the IJA website –
