Video Contest Extended!
Earlier this week, we launched a WordPress.com Video Contest all about giving thanks. No matter where on Earth you are, we invited you to submit a 30-second video all about the things that bring you joy. And it’s still on!
The new deadline for submissions is midnight Pacific time (UTC-8) on December 4, giving you an extra week to show us your awesome vids.
Remember, the winner of the contest wins a Flip Mino HD video camera, plus a one-year subscription to VideoPress!
To submit your entry, just post your video to your blog with the tag ThanksgivingContest09.
UPDATE: Winners will be notified by email!

Heather, I am very disappointed in you, and WP. This is unfair to all those who took the time to meet the original requirements and deadline. You should have stayed the course, and shown integrity. It certainly does not inspire me to participate in any future WP “contests”.
Dec 1st at 4:32 am
We extended the deadline to make sure that everyone who wants to enter the contest is able to. Next year we will allow a bigger window for submissions from the start.
Nov 28th at 5:40 am
Oh, I totally forgot about this! I want that Flip!
Nov 28th at 5:45 am
Phew! Now I can go out and buy a video camera!!
Nov 28th at 6:57 am
glad we have more time cuz it’s been a filled few days with fam. can’t wait to submit.
Nov 28th at 7:59 am
That’s great news
Nov 28th at 1:47 pm
How do you embed a video?
Nov 29th at 5:21 pm
See the WordPress.com video support page for all the options.
Nov 28th at 5:30 pm
this is for real.. hmm.. great.. camera, wait for me..
Nov 28th at 6:54 pm
I did know about this but I will give it a shot.
Nov 29th at 12:07 am
wow! thank you for extending the deadline… ^ ^
Nov 29th at 1:57 am
I’d do this more for having done so than for the Flip Mino. The year video blog subscription is nice, though.
Is more than one submission allowed per user?
Dec 1st at 4:44 am
Just one submission per user please.
Nov 29th at 5:27 am
Video is the best
Nov 29th at 6:54 am
What a good idea. I hope you post the winning video!
Nov 29th at 7:42 am
alright, more time to create one more entry…im being thankful already!
Nov 29th at 4:35 pm
good, I wanna see who will be the winner.
Dec 1st at 1:46 am
Woot Woot! Awesome – I was really bummed on Saturday when I realized I missed the first deadline…
Dec 1st at 2:13 pm
Now that’s a great idea! One extra week is all we needed. Soon it will be WordPress TV…
Dec 1st at 3:33 pm
I want to see too who will be the winner!!!
Dec 1st at 3:37 pm
I just made mine and it was very hard to do it in 30 seconds… I left so much out. but I got it done… I want to see the winner and the runner ups.
Dec 1st at 6:13 pm
Great idea! I entered on the 27th, but it’s odd that it doesn’t show up in the search. Surely there are more than 10 entries – it would be fun to check out the competition! Did I do something wrong?
Dec 2nd at 3:20 am
thank you
Dec 2nd at 6:33 am
Thanks for the extension Heather
Dec 2nd at 7:01 am
Hehehe, we have a great video but we can’t upload it. Because… we don’t have enough money to upgrade our WordPress
Dec 2nd at 3:43 pm
You can use another video service. Check out the video help page for details.
Dec 2nd at 3:55 pm
My Video is ALREADY Embedded, but I need to add a title for you:
“THANKFUL for LAUGHTER IN THE WOODS…and creative friends”
Happy Thanksgiving 2009
Dec 2nd at 4:13 pm
My video is no longer showing on my post. Was it removed by WP due to my complaint?
Or, has something techie just gone awry? Please assist. Thanks!
Dec 2nd at 4:14 pm
Never mind – it’s back!
Dec 3rd at 8:48 am
Thanks for the extension and I’m looking forward for the videos…heheheheheh
Dec 5th at 10:54 am
I want to see the winners!
Dec 6th at 5:54 am
Thanks for the extension. I will be looking for the videos.
Dec 6th at 10:22 pm
Thanks, this blog is very good!!
Dec 7th at 6:05 am
Extending the deadline is cool so that more people can participate. It’s nice to see lots of other people’s work on the theme.
Dec 7th at 6:07 am
Oh, and are you planning additional holiday-themed contests/opportunties?
Dec 7th at 1:51 pm
Not right now, but when we do we’ll announce them here.
Dec 7th at 5:52 pm
How about “MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS” Video blog for 30 seconds?
I think this could get quite creative and inspiring!
Dec 7th at 7:23 pm
Well, there won’t be a contest for New Year’s Resolution videos, but do it anyway!
Dec 7th at 6:12 pm
the video should be mine?? on thanksgivigcontest09
Dec 9th at 12:27 am
Darn it. I totally missed this competition. I will endeavor to commit more time to these posts.
You live and learn, I suppose.
Dec 9th at 4:09 pm
I hope I could submit my video in time for the big prize.
Dec 10th at 12:43 pm

Dec 10th at 8:31 pm
