With that said, simply follow the rules and ask questions if necessary. We will most certainly help you out.

* borrowed from Driver Picks the Music's list of rules.


What we look for in each category:

  • Action: an action-packed video, pulse-pounding music, fight scenes, (at least one explosion) ect. Make it your own.
  • Cast: the best cast of characters for your video.
  • Character: a character-centric video. It has to be focused on them, and show who they really are.
  • Comedy: make us laugh.
  • Couple: the best (portrayed) pairing.
  • Crossover: a video that goes between two or more fandoms.
  • Drama: tense and emotional, often very compelling, sometimes violent. This is a very hard category! If you don't think your video is top-notch, don't waste your time here!
  • Editing: the cleanest, sharpest editing around. Also focuses on clip choice and general composition. Everyone is entered.
  • Effects: the best added effects to your video. Over-the-top isn't always the best way to go.
  • Episodic: A video using the clips from a SINGLE episode.
  • Video: chosen by the judges, this video is best overall.
  • Vidder: chosen by the judges, this person has created exceptional vids.
  • Voice: the music clearly speaks for the character.
  • Romance: mushy, angsty, or sexy. May focus on more than one couple.
  • Song Use: the song makes sweet slow love to the video.
  • Tearjerker: make us cry (or at least come close.)
  • Judges' Choice: your video is considered a favorite!

    Additional categories may be created whenever we see fit.
