Cool ideas. Hot technology. That’s what turns us on. What are you avid for? Maybe it’s snowboarding on fresh corduroy. Or all-night poetry slams. Or your best friend ’s band. Whatever it is, if you can convince us to love what you love in a 60-second video, you may win a trip to Las Vegas this April. You’ll be our guest at NAB 2006 and the Post|Production World Conference, where you’ll see the latest production gear, mingle with top media professionals at the Avid customer event, and have free access to training, seminars, and more. Or you may win Avid Xpress Pro editing software. All valid entries get a free t-shirt—and maybe some “air time” on the Avid Web site and at future industry events around the world!

Sounds like a plan.

When people here start making their videos, someone make a thread for everyone to post them in.


Also, please someone post the "exceptions" please.
