HOW IT WORKS

  • Read the Official Rules. The rules will tell you how we will judge the videos, and lots of other important information about who can enter and what you must agree to do (18+, US resident, etc.). There are two distinct, but simultaneous, parts of this contest so read the Rules carefully!
  • The winning videos will be used to educate the public about psoriasis, an often painful and sometimes debilitating disease. Few people realize psoriasis can be as serious as it is for millions of Americans. Your mission is to convey this reality to the general public.
  • You can enter one video in our 'Serious' track, or you can enter one video in our 'Humor' track, or you can enter one video in each. Your call. But the Rules differ, so study them before you start filming.
  • Your video need not explain the totality of life with psoriasis in 15 OR 30 seconds. Nailing just one piece of the story could be enough to win. (Yes, you read that right. All videos must EITHER be 15 seconds OR be 30 seconds. Not an easy task, to tell a story that quickly--that's why we're giving out so much prize money!) Want to get some tips and strategies for creating winning short videos? Listen to our podcast interview with an expert in the field (note that he is discussing last year's contest).
  • Remember the logo and website address requirements [described in Rules 1(A)(3) and 1(B)(3)]. We want people to learn more about psoriasis after they watch your video. This will tip them off where to go to learn more.
  • Members of Congress, and children, are going to see the winning videos: so no cuss words or nudity!
  • Two $5,000 Grand Prizes will be awarded. We'll also pick two Early Bird winners from entries received through June 27, 2008 and award each of those $1,000. (See Rule 9.) Eight other Finalists will get $500. Not to mention bragging rights, publicity and the heartfelt thanks of the psoriasis community.
  • Have fun, and thanks for helping people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
  • Ready to go? Register here for the Psoriasis Cure Now 2008 Video Contest. Remember: the deadline is August 2, 2008.
  • (And when you are done with that, be sure to learn more about our second annual Short Sleeve Days from September 12th-14th! It has nothing to do with the video contest, but it's a fun way to help the cause.)
