You don´t have to be a professional editor nor an amazing camera man, you don´t even need to be an adept vlogger to join this contest. All you need is to be creative and have the drive to make a video.
One of the coolest parts of the Steem ecosystem is all the different decentralized platforms we as Steemians can use to post our content. Steemit is not only about written posts, but also about making videos and the platform I´ve been using - and will be using - for the past weeks is @dlive.
The drill is pretty simple: Make your first video and post it on the Steem Blockchain using DLive.
But Nomad, I am camera shy, I can´t even appear on family pics!
Relax! It doesn´t have to be a vlog and if you are not comfortable with it, you don´t have to appear on the video! It can be a video about whatever, the intention of this contest is for you to put on your creative hat and to experiment with this awesome video platform.
It can be a video about your hobby, it can be a tour around your hometown, it can be about your last family trip or maybe about your dogs, you can make a vlog about what do you think of horses, you can record your brother making funny faces, there is a whole world of posibilites... it literally can be about anything and everything, you just have to choose the subject.
But be aware, the prizes will be given to the most creative videos, we don´t want to reward a 20 second video of your grandma watching TV, do we? The winners will be selected using a very strict criteria. I will take into account the lenght of the video, the quality of the recording (you don´t have to be a pro but the video can´t look as if it was taken by a crocodile, put some effort into it!), the creativity of the subject among other criteria, but most importantly, you have follow the rules.
Oh yeah, of course there are rules! :(
But if you want to know them, you have to watch the video. My very first vlog style video. You know, those videos where you talk to the camera as if it was your friend. Well, it is my first time, so if I can do it, you can do it too! (also, this way I make sure that you actually watch my video :D )
One rule i forget to mention, it has to be original content and exclusive for DLive, you can´t reupload an old video! This means that the video you upload has to be made specifically for this contest
Obviously, if you are joining this contest, you have no idea how to use @dlive or how to upload a video, so here is a very simple tutorial to upload on dlive.io, click here to read it!.
Important info
If you have already uploaded videos using DLive you can still join this contest because its fun, but I will be giving preference to newbies when deciding who wins.
I will be manually curating some of the videos I like but a vote from me is not guaranteed.
@dlive will have their curator team watching the videos and they will be manually curating some of them, but their vote is not guaranteed.
If you want, you can use the tag #ocd-resteem to increase the chances of your post being voted and resteemed by @ocd.
You can use your cellphone to record the video as long as the phone has a good camera :)
The video can be in your local language, but you need to include subtitles in english to be able to win :D
Remember that Resteeming this post is a great way to support this contest!

Sidenote
I am not voting on this post myself because yesterday I misclicked on my crappy phone and upvoted one of my comments with 100%. I dropped my phone, the screen broke and now its acting weird, it scrolls by herself, clicks on tihngs without me even touching the screen and i´ve almost flagged a post more than once. I´m glad I wasn´t on that blue social media and liked a photo of my crush from 2013, that would have been awkard right? Also, that is the reason why I´m not answering on discord as much as before, because I literally can´t write properly, I´m sorry if you are one of the people I take too long to respond :( Anyway, that is the reason I´m not voting on this post.
My video is at DLive
