Baby Wrap Video Contest

Submit a baby wrapping video for a chance to win a free baby carrier and be part of a video to promote babywearing to the world!

Videos must be submitted by midnight 31 August, 2010 (EST).

Video details:

• Videos can be any length (although if you send me a two hour home video I might not actually watch the whole thing) and you can submit as many as you like (or upload several clips as one video).
• Videos should be unedited.  Please do not add subtitles, effects, etc (so that all submissions can more easily be integrated into a cohesive babywearing video)
• Videos can show the process of getting wrapped up, have someone already wrapped up, show the wrap used as a towel, hammock, or high chair.  It can involve sibling-wearing, or teddy-bear wearing.  The more variety the better!
• Content should be primarily visual and not depend on dialogue.

Submission details:

1. To submit a video, upload it on YouTube (you will have to create an account).
2. Send an email to diana@wrapyourbaby.com with a link to your uploaded video.  Include your name and mailing address (in case you win the prize!)
3. When I receive your email I will link your video to the WrapYourBaby Channel on YouTube so that all video submissions can be viewed there.

Prize details:

• I will pick the winning entry.  I will be looking for a video (or piece of one) that captures the coziness, closeness, cuteness, or convenience, the fun, funniness, or fabulousness of baby wrapping.  The winning entry might as easily involve a dozing newborn or an energetic toddler.  It might be set in your livingroom, or at the Grand Canyon.  Length of video will not be a determining factor.
• Winner will receive their choice of:
  Hand embroidered Chinese Mei Tai (EllaRoo) – I think these sold for $150
  Moby wrap (stretchy wrap) – $40 value
  Gypsymama Water Wrap – $61 value
• Winner will be announced by Monday, 6 September 2010 and will be notified via email.
• All approved videos may be represented on a compilation video demonstrating the spirit of babywearing and the benefits of wraparound baby carriers.

Legal details:

• Videos must be your original work and belong solely to you  (any footage that contains brand logos, or copyrighted images will not be used in the compilation video).
• The content of all submitted videos will become the property of Wrap Your Baby (Baby Earthling LLC) and can be used for promotional purposes.  The content of the videos may be edited.
• I reserve the right to disqualify any video for any reason.
