MagicalViddingTourn{ Magical Vidding Tournament } Hello everyone, Missa here (xSkullGirl808) and since MVT hasn't really been that active lately I thought I'd bring up a new challenge, one scene! The challenge is pretty much just what is sounds like, you can only use ONE SCENE from any show or movie. Although you may use other scenes/clips to help express the main scene more. For example, if your main scene is someone dying you may decide that you want to add clips of the person before their death to help express the death scene more. Any song is welcome, any editing style, & coloring is accepted. If you decide to use the other scenes/clips be careful & make it sure it doesn't take away from your main scene. Good luck to everyone taking part in the challenge! :D To summit your entry please place it in the comments below. If you have any questions please PM/comment this channel or xSkullGirl808. - Missa Deadline: August 4th Extended Deadline; August 12th Contact for any questions: MagicalViddingTourn youtube.com/user/MagicalViddingTourn xSkullGirl808 youtube.com/user/xSkullgirl808
Wow. The results from last round are spectacular! I wish that every entry could make it through, but alas, we only had room for 6! Anywho, it's the finals now...

The long awaited results of the everlasting Merlin contest. It's been nearly nine months now, and it's been some of the best months ever.
Also, credit goes to Sarah for this lovely video. :) www.youtube.com/xbrokencrownwe must be KILLERS [collab parts]MagicalViddingTourn2013-09-18 | FOR WINNER ONLY. This is under private. I don't know how everyone else can see it. And yes, I checked. Damn YouTube.

Please use 3 or more fandoms, if possible. :) A nice diverse area of fandoms would be nice (double is perfectly fine)!

I'll send sound parts when you sign up for a part. Also, deadline is about a month after you pick your part (so you don't forget about it), but if you need more time, just let us know and that's perfectly fine. :)
Semifinals! Woo! Second to last round of this contest! Are is everyone feeling? XD
This round is pretty simple. It's pretty much where you take a genre (romance, comedy, horror, action, thriller, etc.) and focus your video on that with Doctor Who. This show has such a variant of genres mixed together! We thought about giving everyone their genre, but we decided to be nice and let you pick yourselves. XD Try to pick something unique so you don't all do the horror genre with the weeping angels! (One would be lovely, but twelve??) :P It'd help you if you look at the rubric: http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!rubric/c1jm9
RULES: 1. Must be a Doctor Who vid, or some fandom in the Whovian universe. Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures are definitely welcomed. Classic Who is worshipped by us. 2. Any length! If it's the day before the deadline and you only managed to get a 5 second preview of your entry, might as well upload it! 3. Please get it in by the deadline! 4. You must have "MTV DW R5" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as "MTV" is still there. 5. No picture slides! You can have a few pictures, but there must be some video! 6. Video must be new (made for this contest). 7. If you would like to tell us something about the video, put it in your description under "Judge's Note" or "Note to Judges".
When you finish, just post as a video response! We can't wait to see what you all come up with!
This challenge is going to be interesting to judge. (All the same songs! And I hate two of them!) :P
CHALLENGE: You have to pick between these 5 overused songs. You then vid it. The goal is to make it unique. Pretty simple, eh? :D SONGS: In My Veins by Andrew Belle, My Song Knows What You Did in the Dark by Fall Out Boy, So Cold by Ben Cocks, Bleeding Out by Imagine Dragons, and Flowers for a Ghost by Thriving Ivory DEADLINE: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH
GUIDELINES: 1. Send us a PM or post a comment telling us what song you'll be using. 2. Don't be worried if we don't reply. We're busy! The PM is just for our records to know around how many will be participating (we assume only 50% will actually turn in an entry). 3. Follow the rules and hopefully use our tips to make your vid and turn it in as a video response before the deadline's up! :) 4. We'll pick THREE winners (1st-3rd places) a couple days after the deadline! Good luck! Prize are listed here if your interested. http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!winners/c1yng
RULES: 1. Any fandom(s), including anime. Any theme(s). Do whatever you wish! And yes, you can do multifandoms! 2. Any length, though be reasonable. We want it long enough to be able to judge you. 3. Any of those 5 songs! It can also be a remix or a cover if you want! 4. You must have "MVT Ch4" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as "MTV" is still there. 5. Video can be new or old if you have a video with one of those songs, but it can't be an entry to another contest. 6. If you would like to tell us something about the video, put it in your description under "Judge's Note" or "Note to Judges". 7. Must be subbed to us.
TIPS: 1. Find an unpopular cover or remix to make it unique. Another option is using a different song at the beginning, then change the song to one of these halfway or something. :) 2.

Credit goes to Alex (a different Alex! XD) for making these videos! Please sub her! http://www.youtube.com/user/smska1995Want to be a part of MVT?MagicalViddingTourn2013-08-09 | Hey guys! As the video says, we're looking for new people to help run this channel! Why? Because schools starting up again and we're all going to be super busy!
So what do you have to do if you want to be one of the runners of MVT? Simple! Just fill this out and PM it to us! Feel free to email it to us instead; you can reach us at magicalviddingcompetition2013@gmail.com . PM OR EMAIL ONLY. NO COMMENTS. (You can ask questions and stuff through comments, but no submissions. You'll understand why.)
Name: [First name only. Please don't just list your username (unless on email. if using email, please list YT username along with name). We're fine with a nickname though.] Age: [Just for reference.] Gender: [Also just for reference. I tend to be really bad at knowing genders; I don't want to call someone a girl when he's a guy! :P] Email: [Reason we don't want comments. Don't worry, we're not going to spam you or anything. It's just easier to plan things through email rather than YT.] How often are you available? Position: [Judge, manager-ish (makes sure everything is going smoothly), planner, communicator (the one who updates Tumblr, the website, etc and answer comments and stuff), intro maker (makes the videos saying who's made it through and such), and anything else you can think of! You can sign up for multiple, or all if you want! We'll be picking several for each category, so you won't have too much work.] Fandoms: [We won't put you to judge a LotS contest if you don't watch LotS. Put everything you can think of!] Why do you want to be part of MVT? Anything else? [Let us know more about you!]
It looks like a long submission, but MVT is worth it! I will never regret being part of this. Just send this over to us and we'll put you through a little trial to see if you're fit for the job!
GUYS!!! Guess what??? It's FINALS!!! We can't believe it! It's already been 7 months since we opened our auditions for this contest!
Woah, this was the hardest round to judge. Seriously. Everyone's entries were so perfect, we couldn't actually decide between who would make it to the last round, so we actually had to seek other opinions and then judge according to them as contestants as a whole (looking at entries back from auditions until now). We took so long getting this up because there were 6 people tied and only 5 spots so it took forever to finally pick! We're still feeling bad about those who were left behind because we really wanted to let them through too!
Now, out of the 75 that auditioned, here lies 5 to compete for the absolute LAST ROUND! *que dramatic music* *deep announcer voice* Out of these 5, 2 will go home with nothing, 2 will be happy, but only 1 will truly be victorious.
This round is the last round! Originally, we were planning a freestyle round, but we changed our minds. It's still mostly freestyle, but we want a cast vid. There's a whole ton you can do with that! It can be the actual cast (Colin, Katie, etc.) or the characters (Merlin, Arthur, etc.). After that point, you can decide if you want it to be funny, emotional, couples, friendships, recap, etc. As we said, still mostly freestyle, but we wanted you guys to do a tribute-like video for this wonderful show. :) It'd help you if you look at the rubric: http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!rubric/c1jm9
RULES: 1. Must be a Merlin vid, but you can use the actual cast. 2. Any length! If it's the day before the deadline and you only managed to get a 5 second preview of your entry, might as well upload it! With the last round here, you'll probably be one of the two to go with nothing. :P 3. Please get it in by the deadline! 4. You must have "MTV Merlin R6" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as "MTV" is still there. 5. General cast vid. That means you have to use all of the characters equally! :) Well, the main characters, that is. 6. Video must be new (made for this contest). 7. If you would like to tell us something about the video, put it in your description under "Judge's Note" or "Note to Judges".
When you finish, just post as a video response! We can't wait to see what you all come up with! Results on the winners will come out after the deadline has passed! They will also be PMed referring to the prizes. :) (They're posted on our website if you're interested!)
This challenge is going to be difficult to keep track of! :/
CHALLENGE: You have one week to make a video from scratch. :D DEADLINE: TUESDAY, AUGUST 20TH is when we'll stop letting new people in, but anyone who signs up on the 20th turns in their entry a week later.
GUIDELINES: 1. Send us a PM or post a comment telling us 5 songs, 5 fandoms, and 5 themes. Also tell us when you want to start, like for if you're busy for a few days. (Ex: Songs - Bleeding Out, Fix You, The Scientist, Who Are You Really, & Echo. Fandoms - DW, Merlin, LotS, SPN, & multifandom. Themes - Couples, Friendships, Action, Humour, Emotion. Start - this Friday.) Don't worry if you can't think of 5. Just add as many as you can. You can add more also if you can't choose! 2. We'll reply with what we want you to vid by using your list (ex: Bleeding Out, multifandom, action) along with a date. The date is your deadline and it will be exactly one week from the time we send out the PM. Please don't complain that we didn't give you enough time because you didn't check your messages! 3. Follow the rules and hopefully use our tips to make your vid and turn it in as a video response before YOUR deadline is up! :) 4. We'll pick THREE winners (1st-3rd places) a couple days after the last video is submitted! Good luck! Prize are listed here if your interested. http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!winners/c1yng
RULES: 1. Use what we tell you to! If we say "multifandom", you can use anything you want. It can be just two fandoms from your list, all fandoms from your list, or even fandoms not on your list! Remember, only if you get "multifandom" and we might give it to you if it's on your list! 2. Any length, though be reasonable. We want it long enough to be able to judge you. 3. The song we give can be a remix or a cover if you want! 4. You must have "MVT Ch3" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as "MTV" is still there. 5. Video must be new (made for this contest.) 6. If you would like to tell us something about the video, put it in your description under "Judge's Note" or "Note to Judges". 7. Must be subbed to us.
TIPS: 1. Use songs, fandoms, and themes that you are actually inspired to edit with! Remember, if you can't think of anything, just list 4 of each or something! 2. Take all the time you have! It's not a race! It's to see who can make the best video in a week! If you make it in less than a week won't matter. :P 3. If you're busy, tell us to send you the message on a certain day you think you won't be busy! We don't want you to loose time! 4. Follow our rubric! It'll help you a ton! http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!rubric/c1jm9
When you finish, just post as a video response! We can't wait to see what you all come up with!
Another fun round! Congrats to the winners! Those people should have PM's soon regarding the prizes (which are also on our website, if you're interested), so if you won, go check your inbox! And congratulations! :D
Congrats to all who made it to the forth round! We saw some brilliant entries last round; it was so hard to choose so few (well, it felt like only a few). We spent an hour trying to pick between 5 people to fill in the last spot!
This round is sorta complicated, so we spent a lot of time coming up with the explanation below. Also feel free to ask any questions if you are confused. :) It'd help you if you look at the rubric: http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!rubric/c1jm9 There are 3 different sections here, and you may have noticed that you're in a specific group. Double check the group you're in and then find it below and see the explanation and rules. :) The overall rules are at the very bottom.
Group 1: One Quote For your entry, you take one quote and make a video centered on it. Here are some rules. 1. This is only one quote, not a conversation. Monologues would be the easiest to use for this because it fills a lot of the video in and there are usually lots of scenes that match up. 2. You may use other quotes, but they have to be mellow (not overpowering the main quote). 3. Remember that the video needs to be about the quote, not that the quote is about the video (you can tell the difference). 4. Please put the full quote in the description. Try to do something original. You can take a super popular quote, but the way you interpret it can completely change the video.
Group 2: One Scene For your entry, you take one scene and make a video centered on it! For example, you take a death, and you have them remembering all the good times (yeah, I already know that everyone is going to do this :P). This one focuses on the clips rather than quotes, so try not to depend on quotes! Here are some rules. 1. Center it around only one scene. You can use other scenes, but try not to stray too far! :) 2. Quotes are allowed, but as I said before, the video should be focused on what you see, not what you hear. 3. Please let us know what you were trying to accomplish! Ex: Here, I showed Amy's thoughts as she realized that she was the Doctor's mother-in-law (coughkisscough). Try to do something original! If you do decide to do a death and go back to happy scenes, find a way to keep it unique from others! :) It helps to use a song that fits the theme. :)
Group 3: One Storyline Here, you take one storyline (like Clara's thingie, a romance storyline, an episode story, etc.) and focus your video on that! I don't really know how else to explain it... :P Here are some rules. 1. Only use one storyline. I know that one leads to another, but focus only on one! 2. Make the storyline clear (even if we already know it) and go over all the important details. It doesn't have to be chronological, you can have someone die and go back to how it happened (this makes it look very professional, take note! :P), but don't just focus on the death! Focus on how they DID die, etc. 3. It can simply be a video about an episode. You can cover the key points in an episode in an interesting manner and it would count! :) 4. Tell us which storyline you used. I really hope you understood that! XD
Just send us a PM if you have any questions! Also, how we'll be judging this is important. Since each of these groups are a different level of difficulty, it wouldn't be fair to put groups against each other. So, we'll be comparing all the videos of each group individually and picking the best if each group. Don't worry, it's not like we'll be like, "This person was amazing, but we can only pick 3 from this group," type thing. It'll be pretty flexible but it'll help us to be able to compare so that a super hard challenge won't get put down. We'll also be judging creativity and ability to follow the challenge closely.
RULES: 1. Must be a Doctor Who vid. Ask us (PM!) if you wish to use another fandom as well, but tell us what you want to use it for, etc. 2. Any length! If it's the day before the deadline and you only managed to get a 5 second preview of your entry, might as well upload it! 3. Please get it in by the deadline! 4. You must have "MTV DW R4" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as "MTV" is still there. 5. No picture slides! You can have a few pictures, but there must be some video! 6. Video must be new (made for this contest). 7. If you would like to tell us something about the video, put it in your description under "Judge's Note" or "Note to Judges".
When you finish, just post as a video response! We can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Congrats to all who made it to the semifinals! That's right, this is the second to last round! :O The last round was super hard to judge! We couldn't decide who to eliminate through storyline — they were all so brilliant — so we chose by judging the masking, editing, etc.
This round is the trailer round! Pretty much, you just make a trailer. What kind of trailer? That's up to you! It can be about an AU, couple, friendship, character, episode, specific storyline/legend, or just about the show in general! Be creative, and make something that seems like it is a cinematic trailer! It'd help you if you look at the rubric: http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/m...
RULES: 1. Must be a Merlin vid, but you can use other fandoms (maybe there's a great quote that relates to Merlin in Camelot or something). 2. Any length! If it's the day before the deadline and you only managed to get a 5 second preview of your entry, might as well upload it! 3. Please get it in by the deadline! 4. You must have "MTV Merlin R5" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as "MTV" is still there. 5. No picture slides! You can have a few pictures, but there must be some video! 6. Video must be new (made for this contest). 7. If you would like to tell us something about the video, put it in your description under "Judge's Note" or "Note to Judges". 8. This isn't exactly a rule, but we're putting it as one because IT IS VERY IMPORTANT! Okay, so this is supposed to be like a real trailer. So we advise you to stay away from colouring (unless you're making a little manip and you need to change the colouring of the clip slightly, or situations like that), no text for songs/voiceovers (unless it's like, "THIS FALL" or "STARRING COLIN MORGAN"), and no effects (that don't fit as a trailer; ex: vid effects like overlays). Trust me, just by following these rules, your points will bump up by 10! 9. You have to subscribe to us!
When you finish, just post as a video response! We can't wait to see what you all come up with!
Credit goes to Sunny for making these videos! Please sub her! http://www.youtube.com/user/SunnySmil...
Now this round is nothing special. You've all probably seen it before in other contests, but we think it's a really great concept. It teaches you the importance of one effect. So we present to you: Challenge #2....ONE EFFECT!
CHALLENGE: This challenge is where you use only one effect (colouring isn't included) in your video. Examples of effects that you could use include; brightness & contrast, masking, overlays, TV simulator, invert, black & white (depending on how you use it), pan/crop (also depending on how you use it), transitions, fades, etc. Anything that stays mostly consistant throughout the video, like colouring, isn't considered an effect. DEADLINE: SATURDAY, JULY 20TH
GUIDELINES: 1. Sub us if you haven't already! 2. Send us a PM or post a comment telling us what effect you'll be doing. 3. We'll send you a reply ASAP to tell you if it counts as an effect or not. We just want to approve of it first so that we don't get a couple entries that use coloring as an effect. 4. Follow the rules and hopefully use our tips to make your vid and turn it in as a video response before the deadline's up! :) 5. We'll pick THREE winners (1st-3rd places) a couple days after the deadline! Good luck! Prize are listed here if your interested. http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!winners/c1yng
RULES: 1. Any fandom(s), including anime. Any theme(s). Do whatever you wish! And yes, you can do multifandoms! 2. Any length, though be reasonable. We want it long enough to be able to judge you. 3. Any song! 4. You must have "MVT Ch2" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as "MTV" is still there. 6. No picture slides! You can have a few pictures, but there must be some video! 7. Video can be new or old if you have a video that fits this exact criteria, but it can't be an entry to another contest. 8. If you would like to tell us something about the video, put it in your description under "Judge's Note" or "Note to Judges".
TIPS: 1. You can use as many effects as you would like, but the less you use them and focus just on one, the more likely you'll have a better score. 2. Use colouring! It'll help make up for the loss of effect without it being counted as an effect! Overlays do count as an effect though, so don't use those unless that's your chosen effect. :P 3. Try to fit a song/theme to the effect. If you use TV Simulator, you may want a song that has some sort of electronic beat. :) 4. Follow our rubric! It'll help you a ton! http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!rubric/c1jm9
When you finish, just post as a video response! We can't wait to see what you all come up with!
Wow! We got some amazing entries last round! It was super hard to pick between all of the entries (there were a TON)! But alas, only three had won... Those people should have PM's by now regarding the prizes (which are also on our website, if you're interested), so if you won, go check your inbox! And congradulations! :D
We'd also love to give shout outs to 0RainbowProductions, MissDoonaQueen, xWhatsYourFandomx, MytubeProductions1, and emm21ericcal for having amazing entries that tied for either 4th or 5th place (their order matters; the closer to the first mentioned was closer to getting 3rd place with our judging point system; some of the points were only 1 off). You could say they're our honorable mentions.

Heylo! Alex is here! And guess what? I finally got a channel! It's called Vids4Whovians (current obsession with Who right now!), and it'd mean a lot if you would sub me! :D Sunny is busy studying for finals and judging the entire challenge thingie, so I told her that I would take care of this for her. Yes, I take full responsibility for this horrible video. XD Congrats to all those who made it through! :)
For this round, you have to make a video focusing on a Doctor/Companion relationship. It can focus on one, all, or several. It can also be a "fake" companion (like, the Doctor picks Dean or Sherlock as a companion), etc. It can be friendshippy or romantical, just have fun with it! It'd help you if you look at the rubric: http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!rubric/c1jm9
RULES: 1. Must be a vid centered from the Whovian universe (Doctor Who, Torchwood, etc.) You may use others fandoms too, though. 2. Any length!

You must have "MVT DW R3" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as "MTV" is still there. 5. If AU, please put the storyline in the description.

Sorry this took a while! It was impossibly hard to pick only 15 to make it through! They were all such wonderful entries, so don't feel bad if you didn't make it through! We also didn't comment on this round (sorry), because there were quite a few entries and we're all busy with exams at our school. :/ We'll definitely comment on the last round, but we're not sure about the next two.
This round is an AU round. :) We want to make something clear: we're looking for big AU's, not one where you adjust a storyline slightly (like having Morgana be accused by the Witchfinder) unless you make a huge twist to it (Morgana gets accused by the Witchfinder, in which she gets burned on the stake, but Merlin saves her and they become evil toether). Also, don't go for just an AU couple, unless they're SUPER AU (not implied at all, or a non-AU couple but with a modern twist, etc.) or else it'll seem like a normal ole shipping vid. Go for something unique! We want to be able to know what the story is before reading the description. Here are some good ideas (free ideas!). - Modern!AU - Different ending to the series. - Episode that never happened. It'd help you if you look at the rubric: http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!rubric/c1jm9
RULES: 1. Must be a vid from Merlin, though other fandoms are allowed if it's part of your AU clips (A Princess For Christmas, Dancing on the Edge, Labyrinth, etc.). You may also do a crossover if you wish. :) 2. Any length! If it's the day before the deadline and you only managed to get a 5 second preview of your entry, might as well upload it! 3. Please get it in by the deadline! 4. You must have "MTV Merlin R4" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as "MTV" is still there. 5. Please put the storyline in the description. Also, maybe add some of the voiceovers if they may be slightly hard to hear. 6. No picture slides! You can have a few pictures, but there must be some video! 7. Video must be new (made for this contest). 8. If you would like to tell us something about the video, put it in your description under "Judge's Note" or "Note to Judges".

Alex made this, but she used Sunny's computer to do so! ;) Credit goes to Sunny for making (most of) these videos! Please sub her! http://www.youtube.com/user/SunnySmile2413
Yeah! Another contest! This is different though. The main reason we opened this channel was so we could host a series of one-round contests. We thought that they were a cool idea to come up with since, well, we came up with it first, and plus it benefits all of us. You can join in at any time, skip challenges you feel like you can't do, etc. but there are perks to just entering a video for several challenges in a row. Also, there's no auditions! You join without any complications, and you automatically have a chance at winning, rather than having to go through multiple rounds to win!
CHALLENGE: This challenge is where we choose your song. You can choose everything else. The goal is to take the song and make something unique and fitting. DEADLINE: SATURDAY, MAY 25TH, but we stop giving out songs MAY 20TH!
GUIDELINES: 1. Send us a PM or post a comment with the following information. - Fandoms you vid. (i.e. Supernatural, Community, etc.) - Song types you like. (i.e. dubstep, classic, orchestra, dance, slowish, etc.) - Vidding style. (i.e. emotion, humour, action, couples, etc.) Please list as many things ad you can, but don't put stuff you don't like to vid just for more things to put! 2. We then gather this information and pick out a song. This is for something like if you can only vid Game of Thrones, we'd put you with a song that isn't happy. We also don't want you to be given a pop song if you HATE dance music, so there! We'll give you a song that's going to be a bit of a challenge, but it'll be close to what you're used to. 3. We'll send you a reply with the song ASAP. If you absolutely hate it for whatever reason, immediately send us a PM back telling us. We'll give you another song, but that's it. It would help if you explained what you didn't like about the song so we don't make the same mistake again. 4. Follow the rules and hopefully use our tips to make your vid and turn it in as a video response before the deadline's up! :) 5. We'll pick THREE winners (1st-3rd places) a couple days after the deadline! Good luck! Prize are listed here if your interested. http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!winners/c1yng
RULES: 1. Any fandom(s), including anime. Any theme(s). Do whatever you wish! And yes, you can do multifandoms! 2. Any length, though be reasonable. We want it long enough to be able to judge you. 3. You must use the song we give you, but you're welcome to pitch it, use a cover, cut it, etc. 4. If you can't do the challenge but you already got a song from us, please tell us! We're keeping track of all the people who want to enter, but it'll show up badly for you in future contests if we just never take you off that list! 5. You must have "MVT Ch1" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as "MTV" is still there. 6. No picture slides! You can have a few pictures, but there must be some video! 7. Video can be new or old if you have a video that fits this exact criteria (which we doubt it does). 8. If you would like to tell us something about the video, put it in your description under "Judge's Note" or "Note to Judges".
TIPS: 1. Take our offer to change the song if you hate it (stated above). This will help you get inspiration, therefore giving you a better product. 2. Follow our rubric! It'll help you a tonne! http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!rubric/c1jm9 3. Try to fit the theme of the song. If it's a happy song, pick a generally happy/funny fandom and make it an upbeat theme!

Congratulations to all those who made it through! We got some really great entries! We can't see what you all come up with this round!
This round is and AU round! Obviously, you have to make an AU vid! But we want to let you know, we're looking for a big AU, not one with a couple with a couple manips. I mean, you can do that, but try to give it an AU story! :) We want to be able to know what the story is before reading the description. Here are some good ideas (free ideas!). - Eleven meets Rose. - Ten meets Amy. - Ten and Eleven are separate timelords. - Mickey and Martha falling in love. - Metacrisis and Rose. It'd help you if you look at the rubric: http://magicalviddingcompet.wix.com/magicalviddingtourn#!rubric/c1jm9
RULES: 1. Must be a vid from the Whovian universe (Doctor Who, Torchwood, etc.) 2. Any length! If it's the day before the deadline and you only managed to get a 5 second preview of your entry, might as well upload it! But IT MUST BE NEW!!! 3. Please get it in by the deadline! 4. You must have "MVT DW R2" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as "MTV" is still there. 5. Please put the storyline in the description. Also, maybe add some of the voiceovers if they may be slightly hard to hear. 6. No picture slides! You can have a few pictures, but there must be some video! 7. Video must be new (made for this contest). 8. If you would like to tell us something about the video, put it in your description under "Judge's Note" or "Note to Judges".

Okay, so we were commenting on all of the videos with our thoughts, but we missed a few! If we missed yours, please let us know! :) And yes, we will be commenting for this round too!
Please don't start panicking because we picked a character for you! We did that so we wouldn't get a ton of Morgana vids or something. :P We did think about having it so once an entry was turned in, that character would be "taken," but that wouldn't be fair if another person started their vid and was uploading it, but they were a minute off from claiming their character. Then we thought of having you pick before you make the vid, but then there would be those poor people who were forced to pick a hard character, and the ones who pick Morgana or Merlin decide to drop out. It only seemed fair to pick for you.
This round's theme is "Characters." You were each assigned a character from the show. Don't worry, this isn't a versus round! We only put two people for each character because there weren't enough characters! And to those who got the hard characters, don't worry! We're judging on how well you took on the challenge. If someone who had Nimueh had a wonderful video that was everything we're looking for, it would have a higher chance to make it to the next round than a vid of Morgana that's just as good (or possibly even better)! By the way, a hint to you all with characters that don't have many lines: try using scenes that other people talk about them! Like for Igraine (listen up, you Igraine peeps!), you can include all of the times Uther would talk about her, or how she influenced people, etc! Oh, and for the one where it has more than one character (ex: Kilgharrah/Aithusa), you can pick one. NO DOING MULTIPLE! Just one. You can include another one if it has to do with your main one's timeline, just no, "Let's put Mithian, Vivian, Elena, AND Sophia in a vid about girl power!"
RULES: 1. Must be a Merlin vid (obviously!). 2. Any length! If it's the day before the deadline and you only managed to get a 5 second preview of your entry, might as well upload it! You may actually get a chance to move onto the next round! 3. Please get it in by the deadline! If you absolutely need to extend it, tell us a week in advance! Then we'll talk. ;) 4. You must have "MTV Merlin R3" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as MTV is still there. 5. No picture slides! You can have a few pictures, but there must be some video! 6. No AU's please! That's for the next round. ;) 7. Video must be new (made for this contest). 8. If you would like to tell us something about the video, put it in your description under "Judge's Note" or "Note to Judges".

We really wanted to open a Doctor Who contest to celebrate the 50th Anniversary! We really wanted to add some Classic!Who, but we couldn't find any episode downloads!
RULES: 1. Must be a Doctor Who or Torchwood video, or anything else in the DW universe. 2. Video entry can be old or new. 3. Any song. 4. As long/short as you want, but the longer it is, the more we see! 5. Post as a video response or give us a link! 6. Video must have "MVT" in the title. Adding "DW" to that is optional. 7. Only one entry per person.
DEADLINE IS MARCH 30TH!!! Just remember the day Series 7 Part 2 premiers, the auditions close. ;)

EDIT: We will be commenting on each individual video to let you know what we think! And since competitions are meant to help with your editing, we will be giving some critism! We don't mean to offend—we love all your videos—but it's part of the judging process! Please don't take it in the wrong way!
Congrats to all of those who made it in! And for those who didn't make it; we're deeply sorry! It was such a hard decision to pick!
This round's theme is "Group Themes." You have probably noticed that you're placed into a group with a theme. We studied each of the passing contestants carefully and placed them with a theme that they haven't done too often. Don't worry! We'll be judging most on how well you take on the challenge.
THEMES: Action - For those in the "action" group, you must come up with something that has a lot of action. It can start out slow, but the majority must be more fast-paced and action-packed. Emotion - We're looking for something more slow and that captures the show's sadder moments. You can focus on one moment or many, but it needs to be emotional. Couples - This one is simple. Just make a video filled with love! But there's a catch; it needs to be cannon! Sorry y'all! If you're curious on what is considered cannon, ask us! Fun - Something upbeat (optional) and happy! It can be a crack vid, a funny moment vid, etc! Be creative! Make us smile and laugh! Friendship - Show friendships. Simple enough! But it cannot stray to romance!
RULES: 1. Must be a Merlin vid. Vids of the cast (Colin, Katie, etc.) are accepted! 2. Any length! 3. Please get it in by the deadline! If you absolutely need to extend it, tell us a week in advance! Then we'll talk. ;) But if it's for a reason like, "I'm busy." and you're the only one that asked for the extension; sorry buddy. 4. You must have "MTV R2" in the title of the video. You can shorten it or change it up as long as MTV is still there. 5. No picture slides! You can have a few pictures, but there must be some video! 6. No full-on AU's! Some manips and such are fine, but AU's are for a later challenge! If you're not sure what would be too AU or not, just ask us! 7. Video must be new (made for this contest). 8. Please put what theme you got in the description or the title of the video! 9. If you would like to tell us something about the video, put it in your description under "Judge's Note" or "Note to Judges". (Please put #8 under this title.)
When you finish, just post as a video response! We can't wait to see what you all come up with!
