The contest runs from February 5th to April 30th, 2007.  Obviously this is a stock site (entirely by the book) so in order for you to qualify you need to use non-copyright material (stock footage, your own etc). According to the rules "All entries must include at least one of 5 free video clips or 10 free still images" They provide these free for you >here<
Without quoting everything I will give you the rest of the rules >here<

Oh and the categories are "Funny" "Not Funny"

I am seriously considering this. Anyone else up for it?
