About

Giving back to TEDxers has always been a big part of what makes TEDxAnnaba such a great community. We decided it would be fun to see what you, TEDxers, could come up with when asked to produce your very own behind the scenes videos.
We are also extending the winnings to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places which will be judged by our celebrity panel of TEDxAnnaba Team (more on that soon). If you win 1st place in this contest you will be TEDxAnnaba Speaker At our Event . This is the perfect launching pad for any aspiring inventors, authors, creators of artistic works! Head over to the TEDxAnnaba2012 Behind The Scenes Contest Blog Page to view every entry as they get posted.

Everything you could possibly want to know about this exciting community driven contest is described below. When you are ready to submit your entry or browse through other TEDxers’ entries, head over to the Official Behind The Scenes Blog Thread!

What is the TEDxAnnaba2012 Behind The Scenes Contest?

This is a contest open to any Algerian Citizens around the world who wants to share how creative they are behind a camera. You must be willing to share your creative side and explain exactly how you tackled your project. In order for your BTS ‘Behind The Scenes ‘video to be well received by our audience, you must include the photo/video gear you are using, show the final images within the video, and also give out useful information to help teach and inspire other Creators. How you go about making your video is totally up to you. The more unique the concept the better! Need inspiration? Check out Some of the Great top 10 BTS videos.

How do I submit my video?

Submitting your video is easy. First, in order to make sure all videos are current and created just for this contest, you need to include the TEDxAnnaba 2 012 BTS Contest Intro Video at the beginning of any video you submit. Next you need to upload your contest video onto your Youtube or Vimeo account. Once you have it online, simply embed the video into a new thread on the TEDxAnnaba Blog under the TEDxAnnaba Behind The Scenes Contest thread.

But I don’t have a DSLR or HD video camera!

We’ve heard this before especially By Students. Some of the most inspiring video entries from youtube were made in spite of not having fancy equipment! Get creative and team up with your friends, use your HD cell phone camera, rent a good camera for a weekend, Do whatever you have to do to make something fun and entertaining. Considering our most popular BTS , Some Examples, was completely shot on a cell phone with no focus or exposure lock, there really is no excuse for not using a bit of ingenuity when creating your BTS video.

Can I submit a behind the scenes video on a video production?

Absolutely! We don’t want to leave you film makers out in the dark. If you are working on a film, documentary, commercial, or other video related project, simply upload both a behind the scenes video on how you made the film as well as the final production itself.

This contest is running from february 15 th, 2012 to April 30 th, 2012. All entries must be uploaded onto the Blog by midnight eastern time to be eligible. End of contest

Get your videos in early because we will be posting the best ones on the front of TEDxAnnaba.com as they come in, and you don’t want yours not to make a splash.
