Creativity

By all means, be creative; break all the boundaries (you can even make your submission an animation video!).

Orientation:

Make sure to use landscape orientation and not portrait orientation while recording.

Editing:

You can make your videos more fun (if you can) by adding special effects and sounds, even subtitle.

Copyright:

Ensure you have the right or licence to use any audio or visual elements in your videos. Do not use copyrighted material(s).

Above all, make sharp videos with clear audio.
