Screencast 4 Cash Update - Awesome Entries, Deadline Extended & T-Shirts 4 Current Entrants

23 Awesome Entries and Counting!

The Screencast for Cash contest is in full force!  As of this afternoon, there are 23 really cool entries vying for your affections votes.  But, for as many cool entries as have had come in, we’ve received as many inquiries from people who might benefit from a little more time.  Since the goal of the contest is two-fold - get the best set of entries and generate as many votes as we can (remember $.10 for every vote goes to benefit Youth for Technology Foundation) - we decided to extend the entry deadline two weeks to June 1st. (We would have only extended one week but that would have collided with the Memorial Day weekend).  To show our appreciation, we’d like to send all of the hard-working entrants who have already gotten their entries in one of our almost famous MindBites t-shirts! For the rest of you…you have no excuses now.  Get to casting!

More Cowbell! - Entry Deadline Extended to June 1st

• Revised Deadline for Entries- Mon 6/1
• Revised Daily Voting & Judging Period- Tues 6/2-Mon 6/8
• Winners announced – Tues 6/9

For those of you who are still trying to get started, check out Jing Pro as a great and inexpensive screencasting tool from our friends at TechSmith.

MindBites T’s For All Current Entrants

For our on-the-ball entrants who have already gotten their entries created and submitted, we would like to say thanks by sending you one of our soon-to-be famous MindBites T-shirts. We have sizes of S/M/L/XL/2XL in three stylish shirt options: The original “Smart Ass” in black, the “Mental Beefcake” gray workout T, and the staid but popular black logo T. So for all of you current entrants, look for an email for us, or just send us your address, size and shirt preferences to support [at] mindbites [dot] com.

Get out the Vote!

And remember, in addition to helping your favorite submitter to take home some cash and prizes, casting your vote will also translate into a $0.10 donation to our friends at the Youth for Technology Foundation (and now on twitter at @youthfortech).  So, get out the vote!  We’ve added a ‘Tweet out the Vote’ button and link to help make it easier, and embeddable badges are available for entrants as well.  And, of course, like all MindBites videos, you can embed your favorites on your site or blog.  Everyone can vote once per week now and then daily starting after the June 1st entry deadline.  So, as they say in Chicago, “vote early and often!”   Ongoing contest news and updates will be available via periodic coverage here and on DownloadSquad; you can also search for #cast4cash on twitter (or follow us - @mindbites) for regular updates.
