Default How to start a video competition

Hello everyone,

Now this is how you start a video competition!
You invite people to submit a video using the competition moderators own raw video footage choices.
Each competitor can choose the track/s they want to use to create the final submitted video. Points could be added for having the highest rated, earliest completed and submitted video. There could also be a cap on the video size and duration. Again points could be added for having the longest duration, highest quality, smallest file size video. In other words, a nice compact, quick downloading video. The actual goal could be for a real, sponsored (paid for) advertisement. So there would be a monetary prize and the glory of seeing your video premiered.
What does everyone think about this idea? Think about it.
What additional ideas do you have to this competition format?

Nice idea, but that would mean I'd have to go out and film or otherwise source royalty free footage. I'd also have to use a lot of bandwidth to enable people to download the raw footage.

Then people would complain that there's not enough footage, the footage wasn't good enough etc.

... and only four people at most would enter anyway.
