Happy New Year!

Introducing... Indie of the Month!
A monthly competition with a new theme or challenge each month.
Sticking to our promise of January. This contest will only get better!

This month is a beta test while we figure some things out. The theme is:
TRAILER

Requirements:
You must have a direct connection to the trailer, please explain your connection in your description. Ex: I edited this trailer, or, I made the film for this trailer, or, I scored this trailer, etc.

No teasers. Trailers please. The trailer may have been produced at any time, and not specifically for this contest. But of course, it may have been as well. Any genre!

Entrants: You have 21 days to submit your entries, and up to 3 entries are permitted per member.

Voters: Voting begins after the submission period, you will see a button on each entry. Be sure to bookmark your faves! You will only have one vote so use it wisely! You will not be able to vote for yourself, and any improprieties will be detected*.

Most votes wins. Ties are broken by a 24 hour voting period.

You will see new posts in this thread when members enter, vote, and when the deadlines are approaching.

Winner receives:
  • 1 year indiePRO membership
  • A special IOTM membership with an "IOTM Winner" badge
  • A "Winner" ribbon over your entry
  • A "Winner" ribbon over your avatar for the month
  • A winning contest to add to your press kit
  • Bragging rights
ENTER!

*Anyone caught manipulating the system will be banned from indietalk. Do not even try!

Good luck!

Deadline Approaching!

You have 24 hours to enter the Indie of the Month 2020-01 - Trailer contest.

ENTER NOW! 3 entries per member permitted.
 
Voting has started for the Indie Of The Month 2020-01 contest HERE! (There's an orange Vote button on each entry*)

You have till the end of the month to vote for a Trailer and can award 1 vote max.

*Very new members will not be able to vote, this is to prevent voter fraud from newly registered accounts. If you are new and want to vote you can start participating on the site and the permission will be granted.
 
Sorry, but I can't find an orange vote button. I also could not enter a third trailer because your orange "enter" buttons do not exist on my computer. I tried many different times and many different ways, but it never worked for me. You have THOUSANDS of members and only a handful of trailer entries. Surely there must be more trailers out there...? Has anyone else had problems entering a trailer or is it just me? (and now voting)?
 
Made a couple tweaks, everyone should see everything properly. You will not see the button on your own to prevent you from self-voting. And newbies will have to be active on the site first, but we won't divulge the criteria. Just start posting and hanging around. :)

This month was a beta test. This is a very complicated software. Activity was not expected to be great during testing. There's been some hiccups but so far so good. The important thing now is VOTE! If you like this idea and want it to continue show your support. Next month we will be more polished if we continue. Thanks!
 
Is there a way to hide the votes made before the final verdict? It might sway people to go one way or another rather than making a choice based on decision.
 
Y'all get your vote on! I see people online, regulars, and new. I don't want to continue this if we only get 5 votes a month.
 
There should be 24 hours left to vote but the software is still being worked on and it may close on Feb 1 instead of Jan 31, just an FYI. There are some time zone issues we are working on.
 
Ahh I stuffed it up, good luck to all those that managed to do it properly. Please let me know when this is running again as I want Indie Talk folk to give me feedback on my trailer. Cheers Neil

All suggestions for Feb are being considered. Waiting for it to end to evaluate (there should be a list of voters on each entry upon ending).
