Hello everyone, today we will be discussing our contest’s Judging Criteria. These are the things you need to consider when making your video, so you know just where we will be basing our decision on our winners.

Creativity — Dream Studio features were maximized: use of video, photos, effects and background music can be found in the finished product.

If you spend some time studying Dream Studio, you will learn that there’s a lot more to it than just putting pictures and text. You can use any combination of videos and pictures in your slides, and you can use several effects at the same time. The more you experiment with the effects and functions in Dream Studio, the more unique your video is going to be. Also, you can upload your own MP3s or use the provided music for your videos, but it would be a good idea to choose music that fits the mood of your video!

Mileage — Comment activity and users’ ratings generated during the competition period.

For those who have asked, only public videos may be counted as entries, because we will also be considering the video’s popularity. We will be taking into account the average rating that the video generates and the number of comments it gets. As stated in the contest’s Terms and Conditions, multiple comments by a single user (including those of the participant) will only be counted once, so spamming will not make a difference.

Overall Appeal — The effectiveness of the delivery of the message and the impact of the video to the viewers.

Since out theme is “Memorable and eventful life moments”, we will also take into consideration how clearly participants delivered their dazzling moments. For instance, if the moment was a sad event, then if the participant managed to make the video moving enough to really convey how sad he or she was, then that’s definitely a plus. We will also be considering viewers’ reactions. In this regard, you need to put your artistic and directing skills to work!

This is a rare opportunity for you to share your life memories, show off your creativity, and possibly win one of our great prizes! You don’t get a chance like this so often, so be sure to make the most out of Dream Studio’s features.
