Russian Video Start Conducts Original Contest
Hello to all! Relatively recently, we opened the Movie video portal. Next week we are holding a rather unusual competition, so I think it will be interesting for someone to read about it. Well, we, in fact, will be interested to hear your opinions about the competition and the site as a whole.
So, the idea of the competition is quite simple: users watch a video on the site and at some point they see a secret sign (we have a star). Those who find all 5 stars receive prizes, the main of which is $ 1000. Of course, the appearance of a star is subject to the rules that participants must unravel.
First you need to make a reservation that the competition does not take part clips longer than 10 minutes and from the category "For adults". This was done so that anyone could take part and at the same time they would not be very bored. At the start of the competition, each participant is assigned about 70 videos, each of which has a star. That is, with a base of 7000 videos less than 10 minutes long, the user has a probability of about 1% to find a star. In total, during the competition of such stars, participants will have to find 5 pieces. This probability can be increased by inviting friends to the contest. Thus, the more friends the user has attracted and the more videos he watches, the greater his chances of winning.

When watching videos users get hints. First, the video itself tells them whether they are on the right path or not. If the length of the video being viewed, its category, download date, or the author coincides, the user sees the inscription “Hot video” or “Very hot video”, which tells him in which direction to search further. Secondly, the hint can be obtained via SMS. Moreover, their number is limited, which allows you to connect to the competition at any stage, but does not turn it simply into buying a prize.
The competition will begin on Thursday, July 28 at 10 am Moscow time. For those who are interested, the detailed text of the rules is here .
Here we will have such a competition. I hope that some of the startups will find it interesting and will give rise to new ideas. From the very beginning, we decided that we are unlikely to hold something like “Send us your video on the theme of winter.” It's just boring, as it seems to us. Already have an idea for the next competition, fully using the technology of viral video and which we will hold, most likely in July. You also make your startups fun, right?
