footytube is on the hunt for the worlds best fan-made footy videos, and we're offering you the chance to show everyone your l33t video editing skills and share the results with everyone here on footytube.
What better place to showcase your talents than the worlds largest footy video community, right?
We want you to answer one simple question in your video: "Why do you love football?"
How you choose to answer that in your video is up to you.... You could put together a montage of you and your mates having a kick around in the park, a compilation of your favourite goals, or maybe you're going to write a heart-rendering karaoke song and send us webcam footage of the stomach turning result!
The rules are simple, the video can be anything you like, as long as it's football related. Add a soundtrack, video filters and swooshy sound effects if you like, or just keep it simple, the choice is yours. All we ask is that you try to keep your submission under 6 minutes, but if you do go over, we won't be too harsh - just make sure it's worth the extra time we'll spend watching!
What Can I Win?
We will schedule a Q&A with the winner, and all winning entries will be showcased on the front page of footytube for one week, and seen by over 1 million people!
As if that wasn't enough, the winning entry will also receive $250 in cold hard cash, AND an exclusive limited edition footytube Nike football jersey, with your footytube username embossed on the back, and a shirt number of your choice. Runner-up videos will receive $50 each and some items from the soon to be launched footytube shop.
How to submit your video
Simply create a youtube or dailymotion account, upload your video, and reply to this blog post with the youtube/dailymotion video address. The video will be embedded in the blog for our members to appraise, and you will be automatically entered into the competition.
Please don't submit old videos that you have made - this competition is for new entries only. Also note, that only 1 entry per person will be allowed, so make sure you send us your best video.
footytube editors will be choosing the winning video, and 2 runner-ups.
You have until we get a decent amount of submissions before the winner is picked
To kick things off, here's a submission from one of our members - s1kness - but do remember your video can be on anything as long as it's about football (see above).
A career in the video industry and footytube fame and glory awaits!
World Soccer is great, and I probably would have bough more magazines like FourFourTwo, the Champions League Magazine along with WorldSoccer, but I'm on limited funds, so 2 a year will have to do....
I'm workin on one Ant, don't worry! Oh and sorry to maybe dissappoint you but I have more Chelsea stuff than you have Arsebal stuff nto to start a fight Morin but
Haha, that's fine. I probably would have more stuff, but money is a big problem with me because of University and living expenses, plus I wasn't around money much as a kid, just the sport!
Yes, you definitely should extend the deadline date, Lee. We now only have.... 20 days to reply and you only put this out a few weeks ago. Yes, actually I suppose I am quite lazy or it's either I've been doing my homework! I haven't had much time - but don't worry, it'll come, in time!
Its working now, just click on the link in the video guys. Good job Yogan - one of the few entries so far, and one that actually has some football in it!
Love the step-over and nutmeg at 3mins 15secs, nice move
Nice vid lads - I like the passion and recognition, very thoughtful of you. And that bit of skill the stepover and the nutmeg - wow - look at the face on the goaly, devastated.
And Tom and Raf.... Oooops sorry you guys, I was gonna' add you on but I only realised a few minutes after I uploaded it.... It takes about 20 minutes to convert to WMV then 20 minutes to upload, so I really didn't want to do it again. Maybe it was worth it though, because that introduction is so long and really embarrassing!
