Video competitions?

[ChrisSilver]

I am thinking of running a video competition, it would be open to all members, members would have to submit a video entry based on a particular question or theme and would vote for their favourite video(s) by using the like feature. 

At the end of the competition the video with the most votes would win a prize.

My question is, would anybody be interested in entering? If there is enough interest I will start one

Great fun idea. Would the videos have to be made by members or just recommended ? Dominic Frisby is a tough competitor to beat and he is one of our own. Now what was the question again ?

You would have to make a video based on the question, and the video would have to be titled etc according to the rules.

The problem is that the exposure would be as much on order of the posting and if it gets lost in earlier or "mid range" pages. You could probably take the same videos, rearrange the order they were submitted, and get a completely different result.

That is why I had already planned to close the completion for entries a few weeks before the final votes are taken and counted. I have already thought of how it would work, the prize, etc. I am just gauging demand as there is no reason for me to make a new section on the forum for video competitions if there will likely not even be one entry.
