Now that everyone has had a chance to get used to, and start using our new media portal, it's time to kick thins into higher-gear with our first
member video contest!
We're looking for incredible amateur videographers from the ranks of ATS members, as I'm sure we have several. All you need to do is create that
amazing video entry, upload it to our media portal, then create a new thread (and embed your video) in our
ATS Video Forum before June 30, 2009.
Look, it's easy, this took me just 45 minutes to toss-together (and it looks that way too... I'm sure many of our members will do much better.)

Our members will vote on your video using the thread-flagging system, and on July 15th, 2009, the top-five most-flagged videos will be presented to a
special panel of our moderators for final review and judging. The winner will be announced on July 17th, 2009.
GRAND PRIZE
The winner will received a check for $250.00 and a special dedicated channel as a Video Pro on our
Media.AboveTopSecret.com Media Portal, a dedicated URL to promote your videos (we assume you'll have lots
of great videos within you if you win this contest).
But most importantly, your video channel will have full revenue-sharing status on our portal, and you'll receive 50% of the advertising revenue
generated by your videos.
