2010 We're Linux Video Contest - The Linux Super Bowl Ad
Call for Submissions
Last year, the inaugural We're Linux video contest kicked off a storm of creativity and captured the spirit of Linux and the diversity of its community. The winning video "What Does it Mean to Be Free" was an inspirational piece that communicated the ideals of the open source operating system.
This year we want to up the game and uncover more talent. What if Linux had its own ad running head-to-head with Windows or Apple during the Super Bowl? How would you convey the power of Linux in a 30 - 60 video spot that would air during the big game?
Contest Rules:
Open to anyone over 18
Contest winner to be decided by community rankings and a panel of judges chosen by the Linux Foundation
Each video needs to be between 30 - 60 seconds in length
Each video cannot include copyrighted material or have illegal or offensive content; this is up to the LF to decide
The contest opens Feb 4 and will close at midnight pacific on April 4.
Winners will be announced on April 14, 2010, the opening day of the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit.
Guidelines:
In 30 - 60 seconds, showcase your take on "The Linux Super Bowl Ad" This should be why you love it and should inspire others to use it. The video can be an extensive production, a plain testimonial or as simple as a screen capture with a voice over. Be creative, be authentic and have fun.
Humor is always a good way to showcase your passion.
Judging criteria will be: originality, clarity of message and how much it inspires others to use Linux. The judges will also take into account community votes on the Linux Foundation video site such as number of favorites and starred voting, but that is not the sole criteria for winning.
Enter as many unique entries as you'd like. Please do not submit duplicate entries. Any entry that violates copyright protections or the Linux Foundation Terms of Use will be disqualified and removed.
Companies or communities can have their own entry but only one individual can win. (This means there can be multiple Ubuntu or OpenSuse entries but the person submitting the winning video gets to go to Boston. You can say who you're representing in the video if it's important to you.)
Please vote for your favorites.
Deadline: April 4, 2010
