3 New Video Contests from Jumpcut

Jumpcut.com is a video-based community similar to YouTube and Guba. I wrote about it a while back, but in case you missed it, you can still read it here. We continue to use all 3 of these sites (and others) to promote the video content that we receive here on Indyish. If you haven’t already done so, we encourage you to go ahead and join these communities, upload your videos and don’t forget to make us your friends.

Anyway, Jumpcut has video editing software that is built right into your browser (requires Flash) and they are aways running some kind of contest to promote their service. This week they announced 3 new video contests, each very different, all with excellent prizes. If you’re the video making type, or just feel up for a challenge then one of these contests might be right for you. (hey, it beats the hell out of writing a 10-page grant proposal.)

From the Jumpcut November Newsletter (yes i get the newsletter regularly, don’t make fun):
