Didn't end up in the semi finalists, sad but expected...
Didn't en up in the honorable mentions, cries in the corner...
Didn't end up in csp's top 50, step in a three legged chair with rope around the neck.... 

Was it THAT bad? Tell me, be honest, it would be helpfull i can take it! i think... :lol: 


   

For those who may be interested, I made a separate thread a couple days ago listing my favorite top 50ish in the general discussion area: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/483568-csps-top50-rated-lg-ultrawide-video-entries-conveniently-located-here/
 
The afterparty didn't make it this week, so here's hoping to next

I had SUCH a hard time picking a winner... Honestly I think I had the deepest pool of excellent entries at every stage of the competition.. 
 
I would have gladly awarded my prize to at least 4 of the people in my semi-finalist pool.. But in the end I had to take RJ because it felt like while the other videos were deserving of the win, RJ's targeted me most directly with the presentation in my own style (but without just feeling like it was a silly parody) and that bang-on reference to one of my all-time favorite movies..
 
Thanks everyone for participating, and I look forward to meeting the folks I invited to the party in Vancouver

Hello, guys. Here is my entry for the final. Hope you like it

Ah okay, thanks for letting us know man, was just going to send the link! 
 
Here's our final video btw guys, really happy with how it came out! Good luck to everyone else in their videos i know we're going to have tough competition  

I´m glad to see that you took time to clarify those issues, as it may have been our fault as well ,and sure didn't want to be in you shoes these days, but nonetheless i still think that it is something to improve next time, "you" and us both!
And i *DID* say NEXT TIME!!  
THANK YOU Linus for the oportunity and time you gave us , because as you said those kind of contest are LITERALLY hope to a lot of us, as i am sure you can relate, but as any competition, there are winners and losers and we all must cope with it, you included! haha

I have a feeling emails have been delayed due to a problem Unbox Therapy is trying to fix. There was an overlooked video (which I am REALLY hoping to see in the semi finals because he truly deserved it). I for one, am glad he's putting effort into getting SwiftStyle in because that entry was insanely well done.
 
Just in case everyone is wondering, yes, he did submit a video on time.
 
Here's his entry

Hi everyone!  Finally the long waited confirmation of the 30 finalists as come, and congratulations to them all!!  :lol: If they made it, it certainly was because they deserved it ,nothing is achieved without effort, and for that i tip my hat to you guys! The only thing that saddens me, was the fact that, i think that for future competitions the inspirers as well as the promoter must give better information to the participants, as well as being more cohesive between them about the regulations, because it seemed to me that the information stipulated about maximum lenght, deadlines and what needed to be included in the videos, was not well specified and given, by both the inspirers and the ultrawide festival website.  And it ended up in diferent length videos, excluded details, and late (or not) entries, as well as a lot of confusion between us all. Please don´t take this as a sore loser, I am sad yes, but not because I din’t won or think my video is better than others, it is just that i made the best video that I could make with what I thought was the criteria and time that I had left, and I made mine in, give or take , one day and a half because I saw the competition in the 23th of September and supposedly had till the 25th, and maybe, JUST MAYBE! , if I had all the right information (and i did looked for it!) I would have made things differently (or not!) as well as others I’m sure! Sorry for the long post and once again congratulations to all the winners, really i mean it!     P.S: Sorry for the bad English     

^This. Couldn't have put it better man.

Thanks to everyone who participated. It was really really hard for me to pick out the winners and honestly if I had 30 monitors to give out myself I could have easily found 30 deserving people
 
I want to clarify a couple of points
 
1. I *DID* say the submission requirements may vary for the other YouTubers and I didn't judge anything longer than 30 seconds.
 
2. A huge thing for me was presenting your rig in an entertaining and creative way, so all of our top 25 entries have been watched by at least 2 members of our staff and by me at least 5x to ensure that it didn't just stand out to me the first time, but also after repeat viewing.
 
One of the reasons I don't run these contests more often is that there can only be so many winners and I hate seeing all of that work go into something in hopes of winning only to have it not happen, but if it helps at all I genuinely enjoyed watching all the entries and I plan to go through and re-watch a good number of them now that the stress of judging them is over.
