With the entries I have and the ones on their way, we might be on to something! Get your video together and send it in ASAP.

That's easily taken down to 4 minutes: Kill the first 20 seconds before the song starts. The last 26 seconds of the song is a repeat so you can fade it early and save plenty of time. Then you have a 4 minute move. The ending credits 4:42-56 is fine and not counted...

The Chain is longer than 4 minutes, so without remixing Fleedwood Mac's finest I'll have to duck out - unless the start titles and end credits don't count towards total time ?

Great video and will look good on the big screen. Please note the rules are a max of 4 minutes, not including a short intro/exit. I already have others re-editing theirs... I know I can use high quality .mp4 and .mpg. I have a drop box so let me know if you want to do it that way. If you have another format we can try it and see if my program likes it. I'm using Sony's Vegas Movie Studio.

I want to submit this:

We didn't have or need hoodies in the 60's!  At least I don't remember them

Oh yeah, cool man I can really dig those threads.

Time is flying and the Mini 56 is coming quick! Get producing your video!

Event registration should be out within a week..... searching for tye dye hoodies to match the T shirts.

With the Holidays here you're probably wondering what to do while you're snowed in.... make an awesome video and win some money while showing the Mini scene in your part of the world! Happy Holidays!

Cash as stated, cash is cash ($US cash). This contest has nothing to do with Mini Sport (Sponsored by Classic Motorsports Magazine) other than an address to send the enties to in the UK to save on the Post...

Are we talking prizes in cash money or Mini Sport vouchers ?

For our overseas friends... If you want to save some Postal cost, you can send it to a UK address and it will be sent to me from there. If you want to do that, let me know and I'll send you the shipping info. Can I make it any easier for you? NO I won't do your video!!! The deadline will be sooner though...

So you've been asking yourself, how can you be at the Mini 56 without being there? Well if your short video is really good, you can actually make some money and not even have to leave your house! Show us the Mini scene in your part of the world!
