• Due to event time constraints, we will be limiting entries to 10 with 5 stand-bys if there are any no-shows. We will pre-screen each video prior to the event to get a better assessment. We will still accept entries at the event, but they will not have the advantage of the pre-screening points (which could affect overall scores). If we have reached the 10 video limit, it will be at the judges discretion how many more they are willing to see beyond 10. If delivering it in person, email Donk the entry form by October 1st and have your video to us no later than 7:00 on Videofest night. At a minimum, please let us know you will be bringing a late entry by October 1st via email. We will have all the forms available at the "Rafters" bar for walk-in entries starting at 5:00PM.
• Formats: MiniDV tape (NTSC or PAL) or DVD (NTSC only) formats only.
• Videos must contain BASE jumps, but can also contain footage of related sports (skydiving, paragliding, hang gliding, etc.). Any BASE jumps, big-ways, exotic locations, low pulls, wingsuit jumps, incidents, and anything else that'll pump up the crowd will surely impress the judges.
• Videos cannot exceed 10 minutes in length. If your video is longer than 10 minutes, have it cued to the footage you would like the judges to score from.
• Each video will be scored in four categories: Action (the jumps), Story (why you are jumping), Cinematography (how good is the footage), Editing, and an Overall score. Additional pre-screen points will be awarded to each video that is entered prior to October 1.
• You will be asked to fill out an entry form that will include the name of the movie, who produced, directed, and edited it, and a 1-2 sentence description prepared for the presenter to announce to the crowd. You will also have the option to introduce your video to the audience and judges.
• Winners will be awarded at the Saturday night jumper meeting and videos shown to a crowd of hundreds immediately after.
• Please follow the "10 minute" rule or have a 10 minute "Trailer" of your full length production.
• If your entry is unedited or a "rough-cut" please have it queued to the beginning and pay close attention to the time. Once again few entries got cut short before their "money shot" because the video went well beyond the 10 minutes and/or the judges asked for the next video. Please keep in mind that the judges have to watch 10 - 15 of these and it can get pretty grueling, so have your best ready to roll. Also, pay close attention to when your video is going to be played so that you can introduce the video (optional) and monitor the playback.
• The videos don't necessarily have to be from 2008, but entries from previous years will not be allowed.
• Submit your videos no later than October 1, 2008 to:
  Donk Productions
