I guess it's a little late to be worrying about this, but could I get confirmation that my entries were received?
I submitted 3
"Osborne1992 RuneFest "Wish You Were In RuneScape" #1/2/3"

Also, it seems a little unfair to some extent to have the community vote for their favourite because of YouTubers with a fanbase... I realise you guys have decided it's OK but frankly, it's a bit disappointing to me.
Someone could put hours and hours of work into their video, but because they have no fanbase, they won't have a chance to outdo "famous" players.

this^

total disgrace they're just fast tracking youtubers to runefest instead of making it a fair competition, but then again, Jagex and All twitter/facebook/youtube/twitch/instagram/reddit users are quite friendly at the expense of the regular player.
Can't say I didn't see this coming.

see you at runefest willmissit, hope you're proud of taking the tickets from someone with less subscribers than you :)

Voting done. Hopefully the result is actually fair!


Edit: Is there anyway to undo a vote? I doubt it matters but I accidentally clicked vote when I meant to watch a video. Turned out I couldn't watch it anyway because it was country restricted. Probably by music used, normally the case.

So, I'm wondering about this whole voting situation...
"To vote, simply ‘like’ your favourite in our special gallery. You’re allowed one vote per day, so if you like more than one, simply pop back the next day and vote for another!"

Do you actually LIKE the video you vote for, or do you VOTE for the video. Kind of unclear. But that said, I was able to like and vote for multiple videos on day one. And again today (day two)

Is it really necessary to be voting again every day? Surely you could see the clear winner in a few days without restarting the process...

You vote for the video, and this will be what we're basing the top 5 on. And hmm, that sounds odd - the mechanic should be 'one vote per photo per Facebook user per day', so that's why we're voting every day. People may like more than one video, and this allows them to do so without it becoming a free-for-all.

So, by that do you mean, you CAN vote for multiple videos each day, but only one vote for each submission, each day? SO if I wanted, I could vote for all videos each day of this contest, effectively giving all.. 90-something 7(?) votes each? Because that is how it's working and if that's correct, there's no problem! XD

Will entries that are over 1 minute long be disqualified at some point? I've seen a few of those, a 6 minute long pk video for example. And a few others as well. It seems a little weird that videos breaking the rules of the contest have been accepted to the gallery.

Any possibility if the 45 seconds limit could be increased to 60 seconds or would there be any kind of penalty if a player submits a video of 60 seconds (in length) to enter the competition?

The video itself has to be 45 seconds or under; if you have graphics at the start or end of the video (i.e. a brief introduction or a closing image with the hashtag), then we're allowing an extra 10 seconds for that, bringing it up to 55 seconds.

If the actual content of the video is over 45 seconds though, we can't put it into the gallery for consideration.

Mod JD,

There are TWO videos which exceed 55 seconds, so in no way can they meet your rules above. This seems very unfair to me. The two videos are called:

"Where the Hell is Jarkur?"

and

"Range pk Video owning in the wild pre eoc"

I am bringing this to your attention and I think the videos should be removed (per your comments earlier, they should not even be in the gallery). I have three friends who have entered the competition who complied with the rules and it should be a level playing field for all who entered.

Thanks!
