@Laura and Sami. We're actually deliberating if it's worthier if we are to
use YouTube's service or create our own video contest in Drupal.
I know that setting it up in Drupal especially that this is our first time
to do so will be such a pain.

@appa - thanks for the links. I'm looking at them right now.

For the rest of you guys, thank you so much. You certainly never fail to
shed light on my cloudy, full of questions yet exciting Drupal world. [?][?][?]
