==> 2010 "We're Linux" Submission Deadline Extended; Sub-Category Submissions Encouraged < ==
Just like Hollywood blockbusters, sometimes projects go over schedule. We've been asked to extend the deadline so a few teams can get their submissions done in time to be considered for this year's "We're Linux" video contest. So if you need a little extra time as well, you're in luck.
The "We're Linux" video submission deadline is being extended to April 11, 2010 at midnight PT.
The best overall video, as determined by our panel of judges and online community rankings, will win the grand prize, which includes both a trip to Boston to attend LinuxCon in August (airfare and hotel) and a laptop loaded with Linux.
The Linux Foundation is also encouraging submissions in two sub-categories to allow more people to be recognized for their contributions.
Last year, we had a handful of company-produced videos that were very good and received thousands of views. We're looking for quality company submissions again this year and will choose the best ones to promote in our announcement materials when the winners are revealed.
We also want to invite some healthy competition from Linux users and developers who are passionate about the best Linux distro. Everyone has their favorite - whether that's Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE, Fedora, Linux Mint or another one. Show us what makes it the best in 60 seconds or less and your distro will win the promotion it deserves.
Just like last year we want you to be in charge. While the Linux Foundation could write a detailed creative brief and tell you exactly what to do, it’s not our style (or hopefully yours). Linux isn't a top-down, commercially controlled operating system. It's a grassroots product of mass collaboration. But here are a few questions to think about:
• Would your video get people talking the day after the Super Bowl?
• Can your video inspire people to try Linux?
• Animation can work wonders. It’s easier to get a point across with animation instead of live actors. There are some great sites out there that help you create animated videos.
• How do you convey the power and ideals of the operating system in your video?
All videos will be featured on this website and on our YouTube channel. More details and submission instructions:http://video.linuxfoundation.org/categories/we-are-linux-super-bowl-ad-video-contest.
