...you are too serious about this...

I think you got it right there

I'm disappointed with the selection of the finalists and completely lose interest in this competition.
This is probably because I don't fully understand the objectives for this competition.

I think you are too serious about this. It is an opportunity to have some fun, get a video out there and maybe if you are lucky win a prize (a very nice one if you do well).

If you don't like the selection of the finalists: Then you don't like them, others do, others like some of the finalists...

Modartt doesn't have to have the competition and people don't have to enter

Also, what does public voting mean? Does public mean family/friends outside of the competition or only the contestants who submitted videos?

Public voting means that anyone can vote.

I am sorry, this is the first time I am participating so I am not sure about these details.

Thanks for your help.

I just had a question before I start voting: It looks like the voting system allows a finalist to vote for their own entry. Is this considered fair game?

We believe that people will be fair. Although nothing is fool-proof, we are doing our best to prohibit this and other kinds of scenarios.
The jury votes and public votes will be weighted 50/50 in the final result.

I feel lucky to have been selected as one of the 12 finalists from a pool of so many outstanding entries for the competition. Thanks to the jury!

Thank you.

Thank you everyone who participated in the video contest!

a really hard time narrowing down to a top 12 list for the final.
