    My take is that this is 2 (two) comps.
    #1 is a Sweepstakes - daily entry permitted, might already be on here I don't know, but we have missed th first draw if not on here already, and the 2nd draw finishes tomorrow at 5am. 8 weekly rounds altogether so 6 more to go. Random draws, daily entry. Samsung tv prizes + runner-up prizes.

    #2 is the video contest thing. Looks like being judged submissions, with finalists being flown to Brazil before deciding the grand winner.

    I haven't confirmed the closing date for the video contest-
    However,
    suggest closing date for video submissions is 26 March 4:59am GMT.
  • The weekly entry doesn't seem to accept my submission. Anyone else having the same issue?

    Outrageous bump.
    Just heard back from Samsung fb page.
    3 days left to enter the video contest !
    That makes it confirmed end-date for video subnission as 26 March see link to pdf rules above.

    Worth keeping the later end-date for the daily comp.

    Sorry to bump this but I can never get this to submit?

    It always tells me to fix errors and highlights the state/province/territory box.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks in advance. :)
