Earlier this week, we launched a WordPress.com Video Contest all about giving thanks. No matter where on Earth you are, we invited you to submit a 30-second video all about the things that bring you joy. And it’s still on!
The new deadline for submissions is midnight Pacific time (UTC-8) on December 4, giving you an extra week to show us your awesome vids.
Remember, the winner of the contest wins a Flip Mino HD video camera, plus a one-year subscription to VideoPress!
To submit your entry, just post your video to your blog with the tag ThanksgivingContest09.
UPDATE: Winners will be notified by email!

Bye! 😉
Very merciful of you guys!
videopress enable us to upload video on our own blog? wow!!! i love it.
Info aktual thank you
I wish this was announced earlier! I crammed mine in 1am-6am post-Thanksgiving to get this in on time without interfering with family festivities 😥 lol
this is great news.. there would be time to submit more videos
The Delhi police broke my camera recently! It was a student-police clash in my university campus. 😦
Wow nice…
yipeee!!!
waw i’m so happy…this is the time i tell all my friends to join….
Thank you so much…
Heather, I am very disappointed in you, and WP. This is unfair to all those who took the time to meet the original requirements and deadline. You should have stayed the course, and shown integrity. It certainly does not inspire me to participate in any future WP “contests”.
We extended the deadline to make sure that everyone who wants to enter the contest is able to. Next year we will allow a bigger window for submissions from the start.
Oh, I totally forgot about this! I want that Flip!
Phew! Now I can go out and buy a video camera!!
glad we have more time cuz it’s been a filled few days with fam. can’t wait to submit.
That’s great news
How do you embed a video?
See the WordPress.com video support page for all the options.
this is for real.. hmm.. great.. camera, wait for me..
I did know about this but I will give it a shot.
wow! thank you for extending the deadline… ^ ^
I’d do this more for having done so than for the Flip Mino. The year video blog subscription is nice, though.
Is more than one submission allowed per user?
Just one submission per user please.
Video is the best
What a good idea. I hope you post the winning video!
alright, more time to create one more entry…im being thankful already!
good, I wanna see who will be the winner.
Woot Woot! Awesome – I was really bummed on Saturday when I realized I missed the first deadline… 🙂
Now that’s a great idea! One extra week is all we needed. Soon it will be WordPress TV… 😉
I want to see too who will be the winner!!!
I just made mine and it was very hard to do it in 30 seconds… I left so much out. but I got it done… I want to see the winner and the runner ups.
Great idea! I entered on the 27th, but it’s odd that it doesn’t show up in the search. Surely there are more than 10 entries – it would be fun to check out the competition! Did I do something wrong?
thank you
Thanks for the extension Heather
Hehehe, we have a great video but we can’t upload it. Because… we don’t have enough money to upgrade our WordPress 😛
You can use another video service. Check out the video help page for details.
My Video is ALREADY Embedded, but I need to add a title for you:
“THANKFUL for LAUGHTER IN THE WOODS…and creative friends”
Happy Thanksgiving 2009
My video is no longer showing on my post. Was it removed by WP due to my complaint? 🙂 Or, has something techie just gone awry? Please assist. Thanks!
Never mind – it’s back!
Thanks for the extension and I’m looking forward for the videos…heheheheheh
I want to see the winners!
Thanks for the extension. I will be looking for the videos.
Thanks, this blog is very good!!
Extending the deadline is cool so that more people can participate. It’s nice to see lots of other people’s work on the theme.
Oh, and are you planning additional holiday-themed contests/opportunties?
Not right now, but when we do we’ll announce them here.
How about “MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS” Video blog for 30 seconds?
I think this could get quite creative and inspiring!
Well, there won’t be a contest for New Year’s Resolution videos, but do it anyway!
the video should be mine?? on thanksgivigcontest09
Darn it. I totally missed this competition. I will endeavor to commit more time to these posts.
You live and learn, I suppose.
I hope I could submit my video in time for the big prize.
nice Snowflower
When and where will the winners be announced?
The winners will be notified by email in the coming days. Thanks to all who entered!
