Two weeks to go

The submission deadline for the Blue Button Video Challenge is November 28, 2012. It's not too late to get started — check out the Quick-Start Guide, and start filming today!

If you've already started working on a submission, here are some tips to help you make sure your entry is eligible:

Qualification Tips

  1. Set the right tone. Does the content of your video address the challenge requirements? Make sure you review the judging criteria and submission steps under How to Enter.
  2. Read the fine print. Triple check the Official Rules. We don't want to have to disqualify your submission based on a technicality, no matter how small it may seem!
  3. Don't wait until the last minute to upload your video. Keep in mind that the time it takes to upload/process a video on YouTube or Vimeo varies greatly depending on the format of your original video, file size, upload traffic, Internet connection speed, and could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours or more.
