Welcome StarCraft fans! I know you've all been anxiously awaiting a way to get in on the StarCraft 2 beta, and Blizzard has been promising a few competitions to help you do so. Here's one of them!

StarCraft2Forum.org is hosting the StarCraft 2 Fan Video Contest, with the grand prize being StarCraft 2 Beta Keys. All you need is a couple of your friends, a video camera (no high tech production needed) and an imagination.

Rules:

• Minimum 720x480 resolution.


• Minimum length 1:00, maximum length 3:00 (Not strict).


• Can be submitted via YouTube, etc. but must be available upon request in avi video format.


• Must be StarCraft related.


• Must be PG rated (no excessive violence, profanity, nudity, etc.).


• No illegal acts may be displayed in the video.


• Submitted videos must be original content and not include copyrighted material outside of Blizzard Entertainment owned entities (this includes music).


• All videos must be submitted by June 22nd, 2009.


• Read the Verification Rules.

Prizes:

The top three submissions in each category will receive a StarCraft 2 Beta Key. The first place winner will also receive complimentary StarCraft2Forum.org T-shirts for the entire "crew" that will be shipped free within the U.S. If the winners reside outside the United States, they may opt to pay for shipping.


Judging:

Users must submit a video between one and three minutes in length pertaining to the StarCraft franchise and must meet the requirements stated above. Quality of content will be judged above quality of production. We must emphasize that quality of content will be considered before quality of production. Focus on entertaining the audience, not showing off your camera.
