To enter you must be a resident of the United States and aged 13 or over. The contest closes on July 14th, however you have until June 24th to upload your video. After that time, voting will begin to determine winners. The grand prize involves having the winning video displayed on the YouTube home page and/or on the contest website for one day, July 15th.

You may submit more than one video, however they should be about 1 and 1/2 minutes in length. Costumes are appreciated, however you should NOT play a character from Harry Potter.

Raver on my WORST behavur!
 

wow that 3d tools are amazing

What a pity that only US residents can enter the videos :(

wow such a pity that i dont live in the us oh well

Why the USA?

That Is Such a Great Idea!
Good Luck to Those Who Enter!

That's cool, but really kinda sucks that its only in the states

Ooooh! I meet all of the requirements (US resident, over 13yrs), but it seems I don't have a webcam.

The 3-D tool looks wicked cool, though! I can't wait to see what the contestants concoct :)

i cant veiw the second vid :(

finally a US contest!!!! :woot: *runs to find her video camera*

HAHAHA Good Luck to anyone that can enter!!!

oh, I'm SO doing this!!!

I think the prize is rather lame...but I guess the excitement of the process is what counts.

pity I'm not in US....I wish all of you those who are entering, good luck...

That seems cool if you are into making videos :)

Perhaps the prze should have included some HBP goodies as well

I wish I had the technological skills to do something like this, but sadly I don't. It will be cool to see who wins though. :D

Uhm...I would have thought the prize would have something to do with HBP, not just being featured on the Youtube homepage, But I guess that would heklp if you're trying to become famous on Youtube :D Well good luck to everyone who enters!

Oh! haha! That's Great!!

Hah, I won't make one, but I'll watch them!

Ohh I saw this when I went on YouTube ! (:

I'm definately entering. Finally a contest for us in the US! :)

wow...... they are sure getting interesting with these contests!!! Good Luck to those who enter!!! I am making different "potions" for my son's HP birthday party, but don't think I will be filming any of that!! LOL

As usual, not elegible, but good luck to those who are.
