Notes:
- if you can convert your video to .FLV format, uploading on Facebook or Youtube will be faster as compared to other video formats, based on my experience.
- last day to submit your entry is on December 2, 2011 but submit earlier so that you can get more votes. More votes = better chances of winning (30% of criteria).
