VOTE - It's The Stupidly Huge Giveaway Entries!

So - listed below are links to the 16 entries to The Stupidly Huge Giveaway. Click on them, take a look, make your mind up. It's you who decides who wins!

I want to offer my thanks to all the entrants for not leaving me hanging on this one! When I annonounced the competition I hadn't realised what a diverse and creative set of submissions would come in. It has been very impressive. Having tried my own hand at a movie I can say with authority that even a simple production can involve a LOT of effort . . . and many of these entries are far from simple!

We have entries from across the globe - US, UK, Europe, Middle East etc - and as a poor linguist I have to applaud the entries from non-native speakers of English.


Results so far...
(early days yet!)

Voting: You may award points to up to 10 entries. You will award between 1 and 10 points. The highest scoring entry will win. You can't give the same point score twice.

Examples of legitimate votes:

Example 1:  10 points to #4

Example 2:  7 points to #2

Example 3:  9 points to #7 and 6 points to #3
Example 4:  10 points to #8, 9 to #3, 8 to #1, 7 to #2, 6 to #5, 5 to #11,4 to #3

i.e you can score as many entries as you like (so long as it's not more than 10) and you can score them 1 to 10 points (so long as you don't use the same score twice).

You can vote for yourself. Once.



How/Where to vote: To promote transparency and fairness

i) If you're one of my 385 facebook friends you can vote on my voting thread there or message me there.
ii) If you're one of my 250 Goodreads friends or 295 Goodreads fans or just an established Goodreads member - you can mail me your vote there or put it on the comments of my TSHG blog entry.

iii) If you're one of my 832 twitter followers you can tweet your vote to me (put #TSHG at the end). Or if you have a twitter account and don't follow me (shame on you) that works too.

iv) If you've made any of the 247 previous comments on this blog or you follow the blog you can put your vote in the comments on this post.

v) If none of that works for you, email me at empire_of_thorns(remove this)@yahoo.co.uk

Be generous with your points - let's not let anyone go home with zero!

I will chart the ongoing scores fairly regularly so people can see how things stand.

If you have problems with any of the movies, let me know. They have different audio levels - some need the sound whacked way up.

Some of the links look dull (i.e no picture) but they lead to great movies, so check 'em!
