Examples

As an inspiration, we are sharing some example videos:

How your points add up

Your contest point is based on the total views of all your videos that you uploaded during the contest period and were approved by admin team.

1 video view = 1 point.

How the video views are counted

Guests cannot watch free videos. Member views count (basic members, active members, VIP members, Fan club members) in the contest.

A view is recorded when a member plays your free video (hitting the play button).

If a member (including all his accounts) watches the same video over and over then 1 view can be recorded and counted every 6 hours.

Advertising, sharing your videos

Your uploaded videos has individual links that you can copy and share elsewhere. Find these links in your performer account at menu 'My videos' in the third column (Video link).

Please make sure to use the hashtag #schalloween2023 in your posts.

Guidelines

  • Do not upload the same video over and over. Cutting the same video to short pieces and uploading them will not be accepted
  • You decide on the subject of the video but make sure it is engaging and interesting to the customers and connected to Halloween. Explicit videos should be avoided at this time.
  • Do not upload videos with watermarks, copyrighted videos or videos that you do not own
  • We prefer English language in the videos but other languages are also accepted
  • Our experience shows, that you can make the best videos with your mobile phone or a digital camera. A webcam could also work if the lights are well set, but the frame rate might be limited
