amnisias: (violater)
You might have caught the news that there will be another VidUKon in Cardiff in June this year!!! Last year I arrange an Eurovision Show showcasing European vidders and source. Lots of vidders participated, many with premieres specifically made for the show, as well as little vid postcards to introduce themselves and their corner of the world, which was a really lovely starting point for the con. I'm hoping to put together another Eurovision vid show for the next con, and this is where you guys come in!

EUROPEAN VIDDERS WANTED!

By the way, just like Eurovison Song Contest, our definition of European is flexible and fluid, it includes both Russia and Israel, as well as Eurpean Ex-pats living in New Zealand (or elsewhere) and everybody else who considers themselves vaguely European.

The focus of the show will again be to showcase European vidding talent and introduce lesser know European source to a wider audience. If you use non-European source it would be nice if the vid would still have a European slant (e.g. use of European locations, actors or historical events). Meta vids are also encouraged - last year we had a brilliant vid from Faith who won last years CreaCon competion about her experience vidding for the event! (I think one could make a great vid contrasting the differences of Originals and US remakes of TV shows) Use of non-English songs is always encouraged but not required.

If you are a European vidder, make yourself know to me, best with a link to your back catalog, since it is unlikelly we will have enough Premieres for the whole show, so I will need to start trawling the net soon for contenders.
So, if you are a European vidder and fancy to make a premiere for the show, comment or PM me.
If you are not a vidder or don't want to make a vid but know European source that totally should have it's own vid, please comment.
If you are neither of the above you can still signalboost this post, unbeknowst to you there might be Europeans lurking on your flist. (When I posted last year I found out that there were a handful of Germans on my flist - and I'd never even suspected....)
If you are active on other platforms as well, please signal boost there as well, if you don't mind. If you know European vidder who are active on other platforms but not on LJ, let me know or link me to them, I'm particularly keen on linking up with people who are using youtube as their predomenant distribution platform.
