The prize wallet (1P21pR9AYtBGFh4JwX2GdpUn7EzCvUtVUT) has been seeded with 1 BTC (by CAVIRTEX) to begin with but, in the spirit of bitcoin, it is open for community contribution. 100% of contributions by sponsors will go towards the prize pool.

This is a high visibility sponsorship and community development opportunity. All sponsors will be featured on the contest website http://lovebitcoin.co and 100% of funds go the prize pool. For information on becoming a sponsor go to http://lovebitcoin.co/sponsors

Selection and Judging

Winners will be selected by a panel of judges chosen by CAVIRTEX. Video’s will be scored based on the following criteria:

Originality & Creativity
Popularity & Virality
Passion & Enthusiasm
Quality

I'm really hoping that this community can get on board with this contest.  Ultimately, CAVIRTEX is the organizing sponsor but there is no requirement to include our company or branding into the campaign.  This contest is all about making Bitcoin personal and showcasing the benefits.  We all want Bitcoin to succeed and CAVIRTEX is proud to be putting it on.  I would love the communities feedback on this and any questions, concerns and suggestions to make this thing a success.

Thanks,

Kyle Kemper | CAVIRTEX Director of Marketing
