The Competition is now closed

26/3:

After some deliberations, we have come up with our 4 winners. This was not an easy task as there were so many great videos. No BS, they were seriously good. So to reward all who submitted videos, we will send you out an OzBargin T-shirt. If you already have t-shirt 1.0, we will send v2.0 once they arrive.

For the winners, please make sure the email address registered in your account is valid.

Go to My Account-Edit to change/check. We will send out an email shortly.

It's competition time again but this time the prizes are bigger.

Starts: Sunday, March 10
Ends: Sunday, March 24 (11:59PM AEST)

Description

Any short video with the theme of OzBargain.

It could be "Life as an OzBargainer" or "What it is to be an OzBargainer" . You could show us how to pricematch, Broden, Harvey Norman professional or Scotty doesn't know. It's up to you.

How to make the video?

I used my PC and Camtasia Studio but you can use Vine (iOS, 6 second videos), your SLR, or whatever method you choose as long as the video is publicly viewable on the Internet.

Samples:

Here is something I whipped up tonight (I'm not a pro). Broden: Let's Make Money

If you can remember back 4 or so years ago, we had a similar contest, in which the winner produced this awesome video

Prizes:

  • 1st place $200 gift card (Amazon, Amazon.co.uk, Bunnings, JB Hi-Fi, iTunes, Skype)
  • 2nd place $100 gift card (Amazon, Amazon.co.uk, Bunnings, JB Hi-Fi, iTunes, Skype)
  • 3rd place $100 gift card (Amazon, Amazon.co.uk, Bunnings, JB Hi-Fi, iTunes, Skype)
  • 4th place $100 gift card (Amazon, Amazon.co.uk, Bunnings, JB Hi-Fi, iTunes, Skype)

Rules:

  • Entries will be judged by moderators.
  • Videos need to be publicly viewable (Youtube, Vimeo, etc.).
  • 1 prize per person but feel free to submit multiple entries.

Final entries:

      It concerns me that in your video the condom has an expiry date of 2001 … going through a bit of a dry spell?

      regardless, make sure you dont use it - expired condoms have much higher rates of failure(pregnancy and STI) and causing irritation.

        funkymonkeyman on 24/03/2013 - 14:32

        haha, well I don't know what could have been worse having a condom which expired in 2001 or the fact that I would have been 9 years old when it expired. Sex before my teens, oh dear!!!

        I put the way out of date condom in this video on purpose as a joke of course. As to how I acquired this I will let you use your imagination. Cause using our imagination is fun.
