The Video Awards

We’ve got a bit of a new look for The Video Awards. We’ve streamlined the home page to allow for a quicker download time and a better view of what’s going on. It’s purely a change to the homepage but we would love to hear if you like it better then the pure video layout.

It’s almost the end of 2006 and we’re excited for what’s to come in 2007. The landscape has dramatically changed for video on the web and we’re sure there’s much more to come. We’ve got some major releases in store for you in the months to come and hope you’ll come back to try them out.

In the meantime, we’re always looking for new people. If you’re interested in taking part of our growing community and helping us guide it drop us a line. We have the need for a range of skills. If you know .net we could definitely use you or if you love designing drop us a line. We’re looking for passionate individuals who would like to partake in developing this community.

We hope you have a safe New Years and a wonderful 2007.

September has gone by really quick and it’s time to name our winner! Congratulations to the winner as well as the honorable mentions. You can read about them on The Video Awards September Winners page.

Want your video to win in October and get all the fame and fortune which comes along with it? Post it now!

Early on we provided support for Revver and allowed you to partake in the ad revenue sharing program they had. Unfortunately, we had to take it down shortly after because they were still using quicktime and not a flash player. Well good news, they now have flash! So we’re happy to say you can again upload your videos from Revver to TVA. Take a look at our original Revver announcement which discusses the ad revenue sharing a little more clearly.

As usual if you have any issues with posting of videos or have any other suggestions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks!

TVA Team

Wow, this is some interesting news. Jumpcut being only 6 months old has been swallowed by Yahoo!. The news is still new so there isn’t any other details on it. You can see the post on the Yahoo blog and the Jumpcut blog hasn’t made any mention of it yet has a post about it here. I guess we’ll wait to see.

Ryan Carter from Download Squad has written a great article on how you can produce your own video to get your 15 minutes of fame.

…but now I can share my experience with you and the best easy and free ways I found to produce such a video in a day and a half on no budget that looks decent and make customers drool. You don’t need excellent computer skills either, but a little will to learn and a few hours time depending how involved you want this video to be. Take one, marker, action!

Well it was bound to happen, you can now submit your videos from MySpace and Yahoo Video to The Video Awards. The content that comes from these providers are great and we hope to see alot of videos from them.

So today one of our videos found its way to the front page of Meneame, you can see the post here (thanks parminzzo) . Meneame is a Spanish based site which is similar to Digg. Here’s the post on Digg which explains it in English. I wish I could understand the comments… thanks goodness for google translate :).
