Hey,
Heather here again. You may have seen some of my earlier posts about Howcast's Emerging Filmmakers Program. I'm writing this time to announce we launched our first contest -- the How-To Video Challenge!
First prize is $2000 and we've got awesome judges lined up-- Peter Baxter, Slamdance Film Festival; Jeff Cooperman, The Colbert Report; Katherine Sharpe, ReadyMade Magazine; Tim Sullivan, Magical Elves (Project Runway, Top Chef).
We're on the hunt for a fresh, creative approach to the how-to video....can you reinvent the how-to in three minutes or less?
Here are all the links you need to get started:

Also, I know sometimes contests have a fee, but there's no fee of any kind to enter.
Hey,
I wanted to reach back out and let you know -- there are just 3 weeks left to make and upload the video that takes home the $2000 first prize in Howcast's How-To Video Challenge!
If you could use 2000 bucks (or 2nd prize -- a neat Sony Webbie HD camera), all you need is a camera and a cool idea for a how-to video. We're looking for inventors with unique DIY projects and filmmakers who can put a creative spin on the simple how-to.
Check out these links to read the guidelines and rules, see the prizes, meet the jury....and spy the competition! The deadline is July 28...there's no fee to enter...and you can even enter as many times as you like!
