SCAM ALERT - World Lingerie Video Contest - $20,000×5 - Over 18 yo - No duration limit - Due: September 10, 2008

July 21st, 2008 · 4 Comments

The 2008 World Lingerie Contest is a video creation contest. Specifically, this contest is to judge “the best” creators of a video about lingerie.  This video MUST feature one of our promotional links and MUST be about lingerie.

To enter, you must have your own log in. It is only way you can obtain the individual affiliate URL information that is required to be a part of each video. For the video to be considered a valid entry to the contest that video MUST clearly display one of the links.  You do not need to have the URL displayed for the entire length of the video, but it must be present and clearly visible, for at least five seconds.

Video entries must be submitted by September 10, 2008.  To participate you must be of legal adult age in the country you reside AND contests such as these must be legal in your jurisdiction of residence. This contest is void where prohibited.

Your video will be judged on the number of diggs, thumbs up stumbles, sales generated by traffic viewing your video and then visiting the site, and our own judges ranking. TWO videos will be judged only by our judges so that a video entered even very late into the contest has a chance at one of the top prizes.

Each video will be judged on the following criteria (each piece will receive 25% of the scoring):
1) Number of positive “diggs” as listed by Digg.com

2) Number of positive “thumbs up stumbles” as listed by stumbleupon.com

3) Number of people that purchase a product after following the link provided in the movie (movies MUST send people to the “Flirtys Lingerie” site using the affiliate link provided after you log in).

4) Our own judges ranking

Step 1 is to create an account, step 2 is to create the video (and have it show one of the URLs for at least 5 seconds) and submit it to our YouTube group: worldlingeriecontest.

PRIZES:

The top THREE submissions (grand prize winners) will receive a $20,000 (twenty thousand dollars in united states currency) contract to produce another video commercial to be precisely 30 seconds in length according to Primoris Marketing specifications.

The top TWO submissions, as judged using only criteria number 4 under “How You Will Be Judged”, will receive a $20,000 (twenty thousand dollars in united states currency) contract to produce another video commercial to be precisely 30 seconds in length according to Primoris Marketing specifications. This prize category is to give submissions to the contest that arrive later in the contest submission time a chance to still obtain a winning prize.

The next 10 top submissions (runners up), below the top 5 grand prize submissions mentioned above, will receive an Apple Macintosh Air laptop (approximate retail value of $2,400) as a form of compensation for a contract to produce another video of exactly 30 seconds in length according to Primoris Marketing specifications.

The next 20 top submissions (second runners up), below the “runner up” submissions mentioned above, will receive an Apple iPod iTouch (approximate retail value of $350) as a form of compensation for a contract to produce a video of exactly 30 seconds in length according to Primoris Marketing specifications.

VidOpp note: Something fishy about this contest - the prize pool is huge but the site looks like it was built with a $50 budget.  The rules look official and there is no concrete reason to worry, just some mismatch between the production value and the prize value.  See for yourself.

    definitely something fishy here… youtube page promovideo looks like some kid made it - you guys gotta find a way to assure users your links are solid… even for 20K I wouldn’t log in and create a user a page with these folks… what’s the company name? where are they registered? very few non-entities can support a promo contest with 200K in prizes

    I agree this is sketchy, that is why I noted the “caveat emptor” in the write-up. There is a sponsoring company with a PO Box specified in the rules, which is common. I think you have to make an individual decision about your risk tolerance, and I want to give you fair warning without over-protecting the VidOpp community of intelligent adults. That said, I wouldn’t spend 10 hours of my time preparing an entry for this one!

    site not working when I click the number dates under the month to bring up contests it just goes to the main page.

    Thanks Alex - looks like this one turned out to be bad after all - I just tried the link and got an “account suspended” message. I hope they didn’t get too many videos of girlfriends in lingerie before they got shut down.
    Regards,
