Contest:
Remix of _______ for an Eddy Finn from Mim

This should be fun/ hilarious, so PLEASE enter!!!

Eddy Finn is like the Ukulele Remixed… so we want you to Remix a song for an Eddy Finn!

Eddy Finn has taken the classic ukulele, switched up the sound hole, re-designed the headstock, scented the sound hole, and brought some rarely seen tone-woods to the table!

So your job is to: Make a country song rock, make a rap song a ballad, make a crooner into heavy metal… just do something different! Watch the video and you will see what I mean:



Prizes:

1st Tenor Mango Eddy Finn Ukulele, Eddy Finn Tuner, Eddy Finn Shirt

2nd FULL NAMM Swag bag brought to you by Mim, Tim from Ukeeku.com, and Sally aka Salukulady, Eddy Finn Tuner, Eddy Finn Shrit

3rd ½ Full NAMM Swag bag brought to you by Mim, Tim from Ukeeku.com, and Sally aka Salukulady, Eddy Finn Tuner, Eddy Finn Shirt

***6 Runners up will get an Eddy Finn Shirt and Tuner (6 runners up… seriously)

Rules:
How many times can you enter? UNLIMITED!!! Go Go Go! Don’t hold back!
And do not wait until the last few days! It will not help in this one and someone may take your idea! PLUS, if you think of an even better idea later you can submit that too!!!

You must play the uke… duh!

Must be for this contest... so please mention the contest in the video so we know it was not previously recorded!

We are looking for “One Take Wonders”… one take… period! You can do costumes, you can have multiple people, you can be somewhere weird, you can be doing all 3 at the same time, but it must be ONE TAKE!

Upload your submission to YouTube and Title Your Video:

“Remix of _______ for an Eddy Finn from Mim”
Say something to the same effect before you start your video (kissing up welcome)
Then make it a video response to the original video

Post your video in the thread!

International entries are welcome, but we will have to split the shipping!

Contest Ends: March 31, 2011 at midnight… Hawaiian time… sure… that sounds good! Basically by the time I wake up on April 1!

Winners announced April 6, 2011!
Optional: If you want to help us out a bit, it would be cool if you would put www.eddyfinnukes.com and www.mimsukes.com in your sidebar. I just would appreciate it! Also, if you want post your video on our face book pages, Eddy Finn Ukes or Mim’s Ukes we would love you forever! I just think it would be a cool and easy way to show off the contest to my friends and family, plus it would just be plain cool! Any shout outs in the video too is cool, but not necessary. Ok, I am done begging for attention!!!

Judging Criteria:
We want to leave this open to all skill levels and all abilities. So, seriously, it is hard to say exactly! But I imagine we will know the video when we see it! We want to see effort, thought, cleverness, and just an all around awesome performance! I will assemble a judging panel of all different ukulele peeps and even a few non-ukulele peeps and we will vote! I think that is fair! If you have a better idea PM me! But I am not going to make it but so complicated!

Disclaimer: Anybody who grumps about the result will be branded a “poo poo head” and will cause sad feelings to occur in the heart of Mim! You don’t want to do that do you?

Anything I missed? Drop me a line and I will add it to the intro!

oops, jsut read through the rules again... is it a bad thing that I didn't say anything about the contest in the video? xD its in the title... And I just sent it as a video response to the original, sorry I didn't do that in the first place xP I need to read more carefully...
 
here she is! I did a little bit of a swing-ish feel on Puff the Magic Dragon xD it was fun, definitely not amazing, but fun!!

Nice job. You can add the text on the video with annotations. Also, I'd recommend putting links to the UU thread about the contest, Mims channel and Eddy Finn in the video description. Can't hurt your chances to win!

Oh, this one's going to be fun - I'll probably even enter! I don't have to compete with all the video overdubbing masters! LOL
