Maybe ask @Brad for help. It's tough for me to help because I can't see the submissions to know if it is successful.

@Nursemaia What is the link to the video? I have not tested facebook videos yet.

Oh man, I wish it was summer here so I could get some outside shots!

 

[Brad]

@Nursemaia It looks like Facebook uses multiple addresses. To get the right link go to your Facebook video section. I sent you a private message with more info.

Because of the way Facebook is designed a thumbnail image will not automatically be created for videos added to the gallery. You can add custom thumbnails for videos and I suggest that if you're using Facebook for the contest.

A new trophy has been added for members that enter their first video contest. We already had one for photo contests.

We still have over two weeks before the entry deadline. The top 5 videos will each receive a prize ranging in value from $50 to $150.

 

[Decadancin]

Come on Cham Keepers... Lets get some videos going here!!!

 

[Nursemaia]

Yay finally got my video uploaded. Gave up on trying to do it through Facebook so I joined Vimeo and it worked when I did it through them. All votes for Cam and nomnomnomnom.

Say someone was to win, and the first place person wanted to pick one of the more expensive prizes, which from the price of $100 and $150, I'm assuming it's a gift certificate to buy a new chameleon. Sounds like a great deal, but does the gift certificate expire by chance? Like, say someone was to win first place and wanted the $150 prize as their first pick but didn't have the room and/or equipment for a new chameleon just yet...... can they hold onto that gift certificate for a while or does it expire at some point?

I actually did not discuss an expiration date with the individual sponsors. I think a few months would be safe, but beyond that winners may want to verify with the sponsor before choosing a prize.
