Nice contest, Kat! Love it when skill isn’t the focus of a contest… so many of us are in the beginning or intermediate phase. ---

Thanks for the compliments! All of you should enter, and even if you don’t win, at least you have a great holiday yoyo video to share with your friends/family :). If you know anyone else interested be sure to tell them! ---

There is a ninety percent chance I won’t because of time. That leaves a ten percent chance that I will though. Mostly because I plan to dress up like an elf any way, it’s a minute video which is perfect considering I don’t know that many tricks, it will motivate me to practice, and it gives me a perfect excuse to practice my video editing. Looks like I have more reasons to participate than to not! Will you be posting the winners here? If I post my video as link only I shouldn’t have to worry about people seeing it unless I win right? ---

Winners will be posted in a separate thread. ---

Good luck to you guys!! Also know that I won’t be prejudice base off of camera gear! So don’t be discouraged just because you only have your phone and someone else is shooting with like a Canon C500 (if anyone is I’m super jealous). Also, there’s only ~10 days left, and out of those only 4 are weekend days! As of now there’s a good chance of winning a mystery box! 🙂 ---

There’s not much left in the competition and the entries are severely lacking! Which means it should be super easy to win something :). So get to video making! If people want an extension I may be willing to if enough people are interested. ---
