The site's concept is the brainchild of our director who aims to run the site as a business that offers a place to foster and reward talent in the online film and video community.</p> <p>If you are still sceptical, we are willing to put you in touch with the winners of our first contest (who are U.S. based) because it is really important to us that we resist the potential to be labelled suspicious.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>The team from Doc Sniper.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/new-online-video-contestwin-cold-hard-cash#post-51092 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 01:59:36 +0000 grinner 51092@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Plus, who wants cold hard cash?

Vidopp.com has the best list for video contests which is why we use their RSS feed to display contest info. For festivals this site has a decent amount of content: <a href="http://www.filmfestivals.com/htm/deadlines.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.filmfestivals.com/htm/deadlines.shtml</a>.

I would like to know where the best place to find upcoming festivals and contests is.

The last Rootclip film we produced called Good Luck is being shown at the Traverse City Film festival this August.</p> <p>We wouldn't expect anybody to work for free, so for this film, Rootclip is giving away a $2,000.00 Cash Grand Prize, and each chapter winner will receive a $250 VISA Gift Card, Balance Beam from Trig Industries, Retail Value $249.50, a "Video for the Web" training DVD by VASST, Retail Value $80, and The DV Rebel's Guide: An All-Digital Approach to Making Killer Action Movies on the Cheap by Stu Maschwitz, Retail Value of $44.99.</p> <p>If you are new to Rootclip, here's the basic concept.

Once you've created your video, upload it to Rootclip.com during the submission period and compete for votes against the videos from other users.
