you can still pretty much do this since Masters will now be accepting 2 possible entries. This is definitely the most flexible compromise to the exclusive rule.

I wish that I hadn't told so many people about my idea for Masters though. Hopefully they'll forget within the next year :asd:

Then I would prefer to make 3 new videos, one for master and two for pro :P

Hmm. I wouldn't be opposed to raising the Pro limit to 3, if I didn't think we'd get a lot of trollololol videos and inside jokes with that third entry. While I, personally, don't mind this in the least (thus Expo having no limit on the number of videos) asking everyone to download, distribute and watch 1 more entry from everyone might just get me lynched.

Oh, and everyone? We've got this other fantastic contest called Expo! You could always send some love its way, too.

I personally think it just degrades the challenge to "oh I didn't win masters? I'll take my consolation prize (if they so happen to win a category in Pro)"...and makes it feel like a "add-on" to Pro rather than being Masters...if it has to be that way you should make it fun and do something like...e-mail the top 5, and give them to option to choose to possibly win masters or something in pro...so if they choose masters they aren't eligible for Pro finals.

Damn, really? Sounds half-empty when you say it that way. I thought of it more as "Wow, I got Best "Nice" in Pro but hey, I got this real fly jacket too!"

...I liked your video... it was... nice.

Haha...sorry, I can be a bit blunt at times. Obviously it's still an honor to be chosen by your peers to win, and masters is an honor to win too, I just personally prefer them as separate challenges.

Thanks...

so can you still choose to submit a video to masters strictly? i think i may be getting confused cuz i'm kinda new to this contest and haven't gotten the logistics of it down yet. :oops:

basically, there will no longer be a submission process for Masters. Also, Pro will be an exclusive content contest. And lastly, the winner of Masters will be whatever video that jingoro likes the best out of the pro submissions.
