2012 Rethinkyoyo Tutorial Contest


We are approaching Rethinkyoyo’s third birthday (boy, does time fly). This time last year, to celebrate, Rethinkyoyo hosted a worldwide tutorial contest. The contest was sponsored by 4 companies and received over 70 tutorial submissions from many different countries. However, one of the things that amazed me most was that the four winners were from four different countries. It was truly a global contest, and it benefited the community greatly, supplying a fresh influx of new tutorials.

This year, Rethinkyoyo is again holding a tutorial contest. Once again, you, a player, creates a tutorial and uploads it for the whole community, and you will be in the running for some very fun prizes. This year, though, with even more prize contributors than last year. I selected companies that are either small companies or newer companies to ask to be a part of this contest, and I was delighted at the response to my invitations to contribute. Nine companies have all agreed to contribute prizes to the contest. More power to them, this contest would have been impossible without them. And thanks to them, even more participants will be awarded with great prizes this year.

Create a video teaching a trick. You can use text, voice, or simple breakdown method to teach the trick, and the trick can be anything from a simple whip to a complex full-length to a flowing repeater. You then submit it according to the rules, and you will be in the running for any one of the great awards.

Those are some awesome prizes I think I might have to enter :wink:

Yeah, I agree. The prizes this year are just awesome. Nearly all the companies I asked to help were super excited about the whole idea and were very generous. Please do join in. One of the main goals of this tutorial contest and Rethinkyoyo in general is to benefit the community, and every tutorial helps a great deal. Thanks Jansen.
