Webjunk 20 is a show on VH1, where they take clips from all over the internet and make a countdown out of it. The contest allows you to submit a clip, but it can't be longer than 5 minutes. I believe you have to be from the US though.

If I'm understanding right, this contest gives you a chance for
A) Free Publicity (If you win it's on TV)
B) "One (1) Digital Entertainment Center with Intel VIIV technology
One (1) Aquos HD liquid crystal television from Sharp. (estimated retail value $1,600.00)"

Submission Guidelines:
Video Entries which do not adhere to the following programming guidelines may be rejected by MTVN/IFILM:

(a) Entries containing content which endorses or condones illegal drug use or alcohol abuse are not allowed. Narcotic addiction and alcohol abuse should only be depicted as self-destructive, anti-social behavior. Content should not promote, glamorize or show as socially acceptable, the use of illegal drugs or the abuse of legal drugs.

(b) Entries containing explicit, graphic or excessive sexual activity are not allowed. When sexual themes are key to the meaning or intent of the song they must be depicted with consistent regard for commonly accepted standards of taste and propriety.

© Language will be evaluated by MTVN/IFILM based on context and societal acceptability.

(d) Derogatory characterizations of any ethnic, racial, sexual or religious groups should be avoided.

(e) Content containing gratuitous violence is unacceptable. Violence, if depicted, must be essential to the development of a theme, plot or concept of the entry. Violence may not be used to stimulate the audience or to invite imitation, nor may it be shown or offered as an acceptable solution to problem or conflict. Exceptional care must be taken in instances where women and children are victims of, or are threatened by, acts of violence.

MTVN/IFILM reserves the right to reject any entry that it deems, in its sole discretion, to violate any of the policies of MTVN/IFILM's Networks Standards and Practices Guidelines. MTVN/IFILM may modify or edit any video entry or request submitters to do so, so that the video entry meets the accepted guidelines.

Pretty much means they can use whatever the give you for whatever they want and not pay you any money/acknowledgement for it. If some company saw the clip and wanted to use it, they could buy it straight from MTV for it and you would get nothing.

That's the reason I quoted it. Most people just say "ok I'll submit" without reading through it. I caught that and made sure you guys noticed it before saying yes.

I doubt it. If you watch that show you can see break.com on a lot of the clips.
