http://www.youtube.com/user viddersanonymous Vidders: Any vidder that would like to become one of the Anonymous Vidders and is willing to give the winner of the contest his/her requested fanvid(if chosen by the winner), can enter their name currently. Let me know if you'd like to be one of the Anonymous Vidders by Nov. 28th. I'll then email you with the password to the V.A. account, and you just need to upload your (30sec+) video before Dec. 25th.
Contestants: You're job is fairly simple right now. All you have to do from now till December 31st is watch the vids, keep track of your guesses for which vidder did each vid, and make sure to submit your guesses by the deadline. Anyone is welcome to participate in the contest, in fact, contestants don't even need to tell me ahead of time that they're going to participate. Anyone can participate, vidders and nonvidders alike.
Rules for Vidders: There is a complete list of rules on the website which you *need* to read. However, just to let you know: there are no restrictions to what video you want to upload. The only rule is that you must edit it yourself, it must be a vid that no one has seen or heard about before (in previews or upcoming vids lists'), and it must be at least 30 seconds long (since we need to give people a good enough view of your editing style to be able to decipher that it's yours).
Contestants and Vidders:

**Suggestions for Vidders:
This contest wouldn't be any fun if it were easy, would it? So here's some suggestions on how to make it a little harder for the contestants to identify your video. After all it's your style of editing that has to stay the same, anything else is fair game:
You could possibly...
+ Vid a fandom that you've never vidded before. If you mostly do Gossip Girl videos, try doing a HP vid. Your subscribers should be able to identify/like your video regardless of what fandom it is.
+ Vid a couple you dislike. If you always make Brooke/Lucas vids, try submitting a Lucas/Peyton vid. No one will suspect it's yours.
+ Vid a different genre. If you tend to vid happy shipper videos, try submitting a dark and angsty character study.
+ Do exactly what you always do. People will think that the answer is "too obvious", second guess themselves and assume that it's not yours for that reason ;D
**Suggestions for Contestants:
A contest should be challenging, but not too challenging, right? So here's some things you can do to:
You could possibly...
+ Watch the videos of all the vidders that are participating, in order to familiarize yourself with their style.
+ Watch for transitions -- hard cuts, fades, blurs, etc. Vidder's usually have a preference as to what type of transitions they like to use. Paying attention to something like that could give you insight into which vidder edited that particular video.
+ Watch the effects -- overlays, split screen, still images. Every vidder has tendencies towards certain effects. Paying attention to these could also give away who the vidder is.
+ Do not...badger the vidders to give you a clue as to which video is theirs. Let's play fair people.
