A little change of pace.

So we thought that we had enough events for our Minute to Win it so we thought we would post a bit of a different video. Please enjoy.

And the WINNER is....

Thank you Andie for submitting the wonderful poems. They were great. By far Andie won this competition. Thank you everyone for submitting stories, quotes and poems and of course everyone had very strong entries but Andie did a fabulous job creating original Christmas poems.

Video Advent Window #8 - Dec. 8th

Here is the YouTube link for today's window.

NBC's link to Back Flip:

http://www.nbc.com/minute-to-win-it/how-to/episode-114/back-flip/

Also remember that the deadline for an entry is TONIGHT @ MIDNIGHT, PACIFIC STANDARD TIME.

Dec. 7th and some clarification

I first want to clarify both the competition and the prize. So we are looking for the best short story/poem/quote. Be creative but this is flexible. You can share something someone else has written but please give them credit or you can write an original piece. You can submit multiple entries.

The prize can be adding 10 seconds to the challenge, so you would have 1 minute and 10 seconds to complete the task OR you can subtract 10 seconds from a time that you received while trying to complete a task. So that means if you finished Spoon Frog in 1 minute 5 seconds and you won this competition, then you could subtract 10 seconds and have finished in 55 seconds which would win you your present.

Hope this is clear.

Here is the YouTube site:

Video Advent Calendar is moving!!

So Blogspot sucks. I mean... Blogspot, in this most wonderful cheerful time of year, forgotten to tell me that there is some limit to the amount of video or data or whatever on a Blog or something.

For some reason videos are no longer being uploaded, as you can see from my last rather poor post.

So now Youtube gets our business (Sorry Blogspot but your product is crap.).

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs2vpfrP6YU

If you want more video, here you go:

www.nbc.com/minute-to-win-it/how-to/episode-120/bulb-balance/

Now for the competition, the person that replies with the best short story or poem wins 10 seconds taken off a task of their choice. There will only be 1 winner from both families. Stories can be taken from an author but must be credited or an original piece. All entries must be obtained by midnight (pacific standard time) on Wednesday.

Video Advent Window #6 - Dec. 6th

I think this video should work. Enjoy.
