Kashka Coolwater has started a contest regarding DDO videos. This sounds like a great idea!
Halloween and all its spooky fun is fast approaching. To celebrate I am launching a video contest! Stormreach is full of spooktacular fun; from evil cultists under taverns and undead minions to liches and outsiders. Put your creativity and video skills to work and show us what you've got. It can be scary, funny, quirky, spoofy! Show us your DDO pride! Create a Storyline! Scare the padded armor right off us! Make us laugh so hard we cry!
The Rules:
Firstly this is a user operated contest. I don't work for Turbine; I am a DDO player. However, all video content must be appropriate per forum guidelines to be posted on the DDO.com community forums.
Video contest runs from September 21st to October 26th 2007. All videos posted after October 26th will not be considered in voting tallies.
Videos must be 6 minutes in length or less. They must involve aspects of DDO in some form; it does not have to be only screen capture of gameplay. Once you have completed your video, post it onto a video hosting service such as YouTube and then link the video in a reply to this contest announcement in the General Discussion Forum.
Voting for videos will then be open starting on October 27th and run until October 30th, 2007 thru PM to Kashka_Coolwater on the community forum boards. Vote for your favorite TWO videos.
The winning director will be announced on October 31, 2007. Since this is community wide, and not contained to one server, I decided to put up my own personal swag from Gencon 2007 as the prize. The winning director(s) will recieve One 30 day pre-paid game card to DDO and one black DDO Stormreach Tshirt.
