> Welcome to the 2014 Halo movie competition!
> Due to the great response to this idea when presented, I am happy to announce that this will finally take place. We would like to thank all of the producers, players, editors and wish them good luck. Now, let’s get to business:
>
> PRIZES
>
> The 2014 Movie Competition’s grand prize pool is currently 1000$. Every single entry is automatically eligible for the “Best Movie” award and the top 3 videos will be guaranteed a prize. Our judges declare the winners of each sub category.
>
> Current Sub-Category Awards (this may change based on how many entries there will be and the different types of videos entered):
> Best Intro
> Best Editing
> Best Game play
> Most Original and Creative
>
> HOW TO ENTER/RULES/RECOMMENDATIONS
>
> Unlike previous competitions there will be NO ENTRY FEE, it is completely free to enter as many videos as you’d like.
> You are allowed to enter any type of Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo Reach and Halo 4 video with the criteria being that the video must be of a compilation/montage fashion (so jumptages: yes, machinema’s: no). Each video entry must have the official logo logo in the intro of the video.

> Logo:
> http://i.imgur.com/SfnWTuq.png
>
> You can reshape and modify the logo as you please (as long as it is clearly recognizable and the text is readable).
>
> Animation:
> We would also like to offer an official animation to use next to the logo concept. If someone is willing to create a generally usable animation for this contest please contact us.
>
> Registering your entry:
> We may not see every entry or remember 100% of them until the end, please register your entry by following the guidelines in THIS THREAD. We’ll keep an up to date list on all entries there. This is the ONLY way to enter the competition.
>
> Deadline:
> The deadline for this contest is wednesday December 31st 2014 12 PM EST.
> We want everyone to have a fair go at this so we’re giving a solid time frame which shouldn’t give people already involved in a project too big of an advantage.
>
> Download link:
> Adding a download link is highly recommended, not only can people appreciate your work in the best quality, it also helps us and others to upload it to their youtube channels and help it reach a wider audience. Every contest contender (who provides a download link)will get their video uploaded to the THF youtube channel.
>
> Voting system and seeding:
> After the deadline passes, all of the video entrees will be complied together into one large voting poll called the SEEDING POLL. Voters can vote for whoever they want and as many as they want. After the poll closes, each video will be seeded based off of their placing in the SEEDING POLL, and put into separate heats accordingly. This will insure that the best videos will not eliminate each other early on, and each heat is fairly proportional to each other. After each video is organized into their heats, voting will take place just as it did in the last competitions; the top half will move on to the next round.
>
> Judges:
> We are currently recruiting for judges. Judges may enter videos, but they will not be eligible for any sub category. Judges are responsible for choosing the winners for all the sub categories. There are currently 5 judge positions open which you may apply for.
>
> Current judges:

> 1. Klima
> 2. Ohem

> DONATIONS
>
> We don’t have a sponsor like Z used to, this is all out of pocket. And with this competition having no entry fee, any donations, cash or XBL 1 months etc. are much appreciated to help reward people’s hard work. We will update this OP when we can release more concrete info on the prices. We have a central paypal account THFHMC@hotmail.com, anything else please contact Klima, slater ohm via PM.
