Yay! I’ve been waiting to see the entries, I’m very excited about this. I have to say that this whole competition was a really great idea, and I’m so glad it worked out.

Well, until tommorow then! (I hope they’re up tommorow!)

Nicely said Gurmastak, I would like to purpose to you though that ratings and community votes would not be a bad thing. If someone is to improve they must really know how their video was. Its sometimes not bad to get one star to that you strive for better next time. Rest I am sure you guys have done the disscussions and are doing a great job with these sorts of competitions. I wish you the very best and keep up the great work!

Haha… yeah…..I have friends who submitted the video…and I am too involved in all the videos and festival…so figured it would be best to get third party people who haven’t yet seen the videos to judge. If there is a tie breaker or something like that maybe I’ll make the choice. We’ll see.

Many people have suggested having ratings… but that is very prone to rigging since it can be a matter of who get’s the most people to vote for their video. Also…I want to ensure that things stay positive and people encourage the participants. Most of them have never done anything like this and don’t have any background in doing film/videos…so one cannot expect them to all be “Professional”. I don’t want someone to feel bad because their video got rated “one star”.

Everyone is a winner…just because they took the time and made the effort!

After the judging, the sangat could vote online for which one is their favorite. maybe?

I want to vote for Gurumustuk as a judge. Gurumustuk Singh Ji you are the guy who inspires so many Sikhs (including myself) to share what we have/know/experience with others. Your efforts brought together the people and inspiration for these projects.

That’s cool that you got Waris Ji to participate. If I met him I’d like to say that I enjoyed the ‘Inside Man,’ and hope that he continues to be successful. I feel like that one scene from ‘Inside Man’ did more for awareness of our community than so many other efforts. The other efforts are greatly appreciated, but that was surely one of the most widely seen efforts towards educating the populace about Sikhs. Props to Spike Lee too.
