Open to: legal US residents 18 and older

(Note: the way the rules are worded, it might even include include old fashioned "video cameras", I'm not sure).

Judges:
* Rainn Wilson - director ("Peep World", "Hesher"), actor ("The Office", "Six Feet Under"), voice talent, and writer.

* Chase Jarvis - advertising photographer (Red Bull, Pepsi, Nike, Reebok) and director

(disclaimer: I have no financial connection with Nikon or any of the entities associated with this contest and listed in the terms and conditions. I was simply born and raised in Michigan and thought "bloody cool, let's get the word out")
