So you've read all about the video contest on the front page, and you want to know exactly what you need to do huh? Well, here are the official rules and entry requirements. If something is unclear or not covered in the rules, please feel free to post them on this thread. I will be by regularly to answer anything that comes up.

How To Submit Your Video
To start with, create your video to the above content and technical specifications, then upload your video to GameTrailers.
Then take the link to your GT video and post it HERE. Just the link, nothing more. On March 5th we will go through the trailers and pick the winners. We will announce the results shortly after.
It's very very very important that you keep all original video assets after uploading your GT video. If you win, we'll be asking you for your full-size, full-quality trailer for inclusion on the demo disc.
