Great article! We held a CG contest at the last company I worked for, which yielded great results and boosted sites traffic tremendously. We are planning to offer the same services with my new company http://webvideosolutions.com. Good read,, keep up the good work. ~Eric Lingle

Yeah, I noticed how many companies were taking the contest route. It was obvious enough that I wrote an article titled "Shoot to Win: Seeking A Better Film/Video Contests Aggregator" for SF Examiner.com.
"Video and film contests are all the rage now. From big national brands to local-yokel HVAC shops, everyone seems to want to get in the YouTube-y film contest scene. As Director of Marketing of a film school, I see a few of these things a week. Most of them are half-baked efforts lacking any real focus – as if they simply wanted to play with the other cool kids that are having contests. (Notable was a Ramada “Do Your Thing Video Contest” which asked participants to film themselves as they, well, did their thing. “Their thing” was, quiet literally, anything in the world.)"
I haven't been on top of the space lately so there may very well already be a website/service that fills this need. If not, someone should get on it.
