Motionbox Starts Valentine Contest

Motionbox is an online provider of video storage and streaming. Their streaming product has been reviewed here on Suite101 and in general is a good alternative to YouTube, especially for those who want to share videos privately and be able to edit them as well, all on the same online web site.

Today, in the spirit of Valentine's day, Motionbox has announced a special contest titled "Motionbox Video Valentine Contest: Your (Not-So) Secret Admirer." By going to the Motionbox web site and opening a free account a member can then upload raw or edited video of their significant other that hopefully shows their mate in the best possible light. Beginning on February 1st and running through the 29th (yes, this is a leap year!), the site is requesting that users upload video clips such as:

• Talking head confessions of love captured on a webcam
• Footage of the entrant's better half playing with the kids or belting out a tune
• A "highlight reel" of moving memories from the past year
• Any other video that demonstrates why their loved one is the best valentine ever

So if you are a shutterbug that would REALLY like to get in good with your honey this Valentine's Day, check out the contest and you might win big.
