- Videos must be new and made for the rounds.

Rules for this Round:
- Write your entrant number in the description or title of your video.
Numbers are here: http://gmvawards.forumotion.co.uk/t17-bbt-entrant-list

- Any effects, techniques, couples, pairing, are acceptable. Go crazy!
- Deadline: August 1st
