Reinvent the How-To Video and Win $2000 from Howcast.com
Howcast is launching its first video contest — the How-To Video Challenge — and we’re asking filmmakers, video artists, and DIYers to dream up a fresh, original approach to the how-to video.
First prize is $2000. We’ve got awesome judges lined up — Peter Baxter, Slamdance Film Festival; Jeff Cooperman, The Colbert Report; Katherine Sharpe, ReadyMade Magazine; Tim Sullivan, Magical Elves (Project Runway, Top Chef). And, the top submissions will be showcased across online, mobile and off-line platforms.
Can you reinvent the how-to in three minutes or less?
Here are all the links you need to get started (and there’s no fee for entry):

Hey,
I wanted to reach back out and let you know — there are just 3 weeks left to make and upload the video that takes home the $2000 first prize in Howcast’s How-To Video Challenge!
If you could use 2000 bucks (or 2nd prize — a neat Sony Webbie HD camera), all you need is a camera and a cool idea for a how-to video. We’re looking for filmmakers who can put a creative spin on the simple how-to.
Check out these links to read the guidelines and rules, see the prizes, meet the jury….and spy the competition! The deadline is July 28…there’s no fee to enter…and you can even enter as many times as you like!
