Are we still doing those? I know they are usually hosted irregularly, but I haven't seen one in a while. I was wondering if this is still an active program? Thanks in advance for any info any one can offer

Your right, it has been quite sometime since the last one.
Seems to me we are over due.

I think everyone is just super busy trying to straighten out all the chaos that has popped up around here, what with all the spammers and programs that have been popping up. Now they have the contests on the roundup and all the clubs and workshops, meetings and reviews that can't be caught up on.
I would love to see this happen again but maybe they are taking a break for the summer?

They've been back burnered for now since we get so few creative entries and a lot of rushed "get as many in as possible" entries that we notice that quality of video actually suffers when we run a contest as opposed to when we don't. Sucks, I know. Hopefully we'll come up with a way to run more contests and maintain video quality soon!

Yes, without trying to sound negative on anyone's video reviews, I can see how that would become a problem. Maybe instead of announcing when the submission time frame will be (ex: submit between 8/25 and 9/10) perhaps the list of entries could be randomly compiled from a passed period of two or three weeks? As in, just announce "hey all, we're taking all video submissions from the past two weeks" and do it that way? Kind of a surprise rumble. Not knowing when the rumble would be might motivate people to consistently submit good reviews, just in case?

I don't know if that even makes sense, just a thought. I also figured since the video review program has gotten so enormous (lots of reviewers!) that it might just be hard to even compile a list of all the videos submitted in a two week period, let alone for the voters to watch and rate them all.
But yes, I look forward to seeing video rumbles emerge sooner or later in some form. I know EF has a lot going on and keeping yet another contest up and running isn't necessarily a priority right now. Thanks for the response, Carrie Ann
