There are still 2 days left to enter a short video and get a chance to win iPod Shuffle. Yes, Genome Alberta is giving away 2 iPod Shuffles and all you have to do to have a chance at winning is submit a less than 2 minute video telling Where Bio Began for you or your friends.

Here is my example.

The rules are simple:

• You must upload your video before midnight February 27th, 2010
• Your video must be less than 2 minutes in length
• You must upload the video to either the Genome Alberta YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/GenomeAlberta ) or enter through the ‘Ideas’ section of Facebook GenOmics at http://facebook.genomealberta.ca
• Only YouTube or Facebook videos will be accepted. All videos should be tagged with bio, wherebiobegins, and “genome alberta” plus whatever specific tags you feel are appropriate
• You must agree to have your video displayed on Genome Alberta’s YouTube channel and on the Genome Alberta GenOmics site on Facebook
• You must be 16 years of age or older
• The winning names will be drawn at random from all the entries uploaded. You can only win once.
• Genome Alberta reserves the right to remove any video not complying with the rules or that we consider offensive

Next, I used Avidemux 2.5 to edit. It is a free download video editor, very easy and intuitive to use. Finally, I uploaded to YouTube with the tags bio, wherebiobegins and “Genome Alberta”.

Good luck with your video, I look forward to viewing it.
