  • Enter reference you filmed or made yourself, or have permission to share. Clips cut from films, shows or games can't win.
  • Entries are public and stay in the community library with your name on them.
  • Voting is saving: the entries saved to the most boards by the end of the month win.
  • Prizes: 3 months of Pro for the top three, plus a home-page feature. We may disqualify entries that break the Terms.
