Contestant FAQs
How Does the Contest Work?
What format of video?
In order to keep things simple, we ask that:
- your video be on YouTube (www.youtube.com)
- your video must be three (3) minutes (180 seconds) or less in length
- you video must be tagged with: ClubFatAss FilmFestivalOfOutdoorAdventures FilmFestivalOfOutdoorAdventures2011 as well as relevant terms depending on your theme (e.g. hiking, trailrunning, adventure, outdoors, mountains)
You are most welcome to submit longer videos, but to be fair to everyone, they will not be eligible for prizes or contest recognition. You are most welcome to post your video in other venues (e.g. vimeo), but we can only reference your YouTube submission. Sorry, we can't put your video on YouTube for you.
