Filipino Online Video Festival Launched

Tags: | |

YouTube is huge in the Philippines. It was only a matter of time before someone made a contest of it.

Online video festival for Pinoys launched

Minic Media LLC today announced the launching of The Pinoy.TV, an online video festival based on themes that hopes to introduce the Phliippines globally through online videos.

Every month a new theme is open for submission, with entries up for ratings from site visitors. Entries should not be longer than 10 minutes and should interpret the theme.

“We are after the interpretation of themes because it is what should tell the story about Filipinos,” Minic Rivera, founder of The Pinoy.TV said.

“I am a Filipino” kicks off the festival as theme for March. At the end of every month, the winner gets $100 as prize.

“It is my hope to introduce my roots to the global community the way it should be seen. At the same time, it is wish to see Filipinos getting into online videos,” Rivera added.

These guys should use YouTube’s existing contest system. That way, they’d get seamless submissions and more exposure on YouTube itself.

    Thanks Mike for posting my humble release. Yes, I’ve looked at the YouTube content system. However, seamless submissions is not what we’re after in this project.

    But still, I cannot thank you enough for the post.
