The VidOpp Video Contest Community

Batten down the hatches, me matey! They have a yarn to tell ye – here & now. Submit a video about how you live life as the Pirate that you are, while using the Pirate’s tongue. The best Buccaneer will win their booty as voted by your fellow scurvy dogs.

Requirements

Follow this here Pirate’s creed:
• Keep it brief – we’d prefer it be less than 3 minutes, ye scurvy! We don’t have all day to watch ye walk the plank.
• Ye can make yer video however ye want – whether it be from yer pocket parrot or using a fancy spyglass. Just be sure that me and yer fellow pirates can hear ye talk like one of us!
• Feel free to pillage from yer friends, but do so creatively so that they don’t hear ye rattlin’ their chains.
• No hornswaggling!
• If we catch ye violating these rules, we will hang ye from the yardarm or else we will send ye to Davy Jones’ Locker!
