Upgrade Democracy Contest Rules
- Videos are suggested to be no more than one minute in length.
- FairVote staff will view all video submissions and narrow them down to a list of nominees. If your video is nominated, FairVote will contact you through your YouTube account. So be sure to check your messages!
- The nominated videos will be viewed by a panel of celebrity judges, who will then choose the winners.
- The deadline for submissions is no later than 11:59 PM EDT
September 28, 2007 October 5, 2007, so start getting creative. Prior submissions may be altered until that time, and multiple submissions from the same person will be accepted. If you have any questions about the contest, election reform, or FairVote itself, shoot an e-mail off to upgradedemocracy@fairvote.org.
- Past and present FairVote employees and interns are not eligible to win prizes in this contest.
- By submitting an entry, entrant warrants that he/she is the sole author and copyright owner of entry or has permission (via license or otherwise) to use or incorporate those entry portions authored or owned by third parties. Entries may not have been entered into any other contest or won any other award. Use of images, music, and other works in the public domain may be incorporated into entries. However, materials that infringe on the rights of any third party may not be used unless consent has been obtained. FairVote is not responsible for late, lost, delayed, damaged, misdirected, incomplete, illegible, or unintelligible entries. The purpose of this contest is to encourage the creation and submission of videos that educate the general public on election reforms and democracy in the United States.
- By submitting a video to this contest, each entrant automatically confers on FairVote an irrevocable, nonexclusive and unrestricted license to use the video for purposes consistent with the organization's mission. This includes the right to copy, reproduce, display, or distribute the video, and to make derivative works based upon the video or a substantial portion of it without attribution or prior permission. Other than the authority to FairVote, as set out in this paragraph, entrants retain ownership rights of their videos.
