The Five Giveaway (Updated)

In honor of the upcoming VideoSift version 5 (to be unveiled at a date yet to be determined), we're having a contest. Here's how to enter the contest:
  • submit a video some time after this announcement
  • the video description must include a link to this post
  • you must link to your video in this post
  • someone in the video must clearly and audibly speak the word FIVE
  • the video must be in the published state when 11:59:59pm PDT arrives on Sept. 9, 2012
Now let's talk turkey. The awards will be doled out as follows:
  • First Place goes to the qualifying video that earns the most votes. The winner gets their choice of anything from the VideoSift Exclusives in the Sift Shop plus a VideoSift coffee mug. (In the event of a tie, the earliest submitted post wins.)
  • Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Place go to the qualifying video posts that generate the most comments plus comment up-votes. Comments by siftbot or the post submitter will not be counted. Comments count as 1. Comment up-votes count as 1.5. These winners will get a VideoSift coffee mug!
  • In addition, all winners will have early beta access to VideoSift v5!
Get submitting early and often, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Here's a current list of the participants and contenders for first place. Here's a current list of participants with the most comments (though that doesn't necessarily indicate if they'll win a runner-up prize).

[update]
Due to the popularity of this contest, we've upped the prize limit to a total of FIVE instead of three. Keep your entries coming! And keep in mind that even if you're not trying to find videos to submit for this giveaway, you might have already submitted a qualifying post accidentally, and you should include them in the contest! Examples here and here.

Thanks for the contest and for my awesome prize! As I was drinking my coffee this morning, I was daydreaming about how much better it would taste in a sexy, Videosift mug. Dreams do come true people!

Woohoo, take that Dad!, and he said I'd never make anything of myself, wait till he hears about this. He'll be pleased as punch..

..OK, just got off the phone, he doesn't share my enthusiasm it seems and he doesn't like punch as well (not even raspberry, bizarre). Cheers to the powers that be at videosift, thanks guys!
