The Brands or Sponsors select the winners. They use their own internal criteria, all based around the execution of the creative brief. In some instances, XLNTads will run its own contests to develop sample ads. In these instances, XLNTads editorial team will select the winners.
The winner announcement usually happens around 10-14 days after the assignment concludes. We apologize for the varying lengths of time, but we are at the whim of our clients’ time table. Please be patient. We won’t forget about you!
The winners are announced on our blog, so we recommend you subscribe to the free email alerts from the blog.

Absolutely. The more the merrier.
You can enter any and all assignments on XLNTads, and you can usually submit more than one entry to an assignment. Check the rules as specified in the Ad Maker agreement for specifics on the number of submissions allowed for any particular assignment.

Click the button on the assignment page of your choice that says, “Register and Enter Now” or “Enter Now” (depending on if you’re already logged in or not). When you do that, you’ll be asked to agree to some Terms & Conditions, then a box will appear underneath which will contain the links to download brand assets you might use in your video, including a Creative Brief detailing exactly what we’re looking for.

When you upload a video to XLNTads, we take some time to personally watch and review each one of them. When we’ve watched it, and we’re sure it’s not inappropriate, yucky or too strange, we make it go live. In some instances, the sponsoring brands want to see the work before it gets posted, so that could add a little extra time before your video goes live. They just want to get an advanced look at your work.
Also, make sure you give our servers time to transcode the videos. That could take up to a few hours on a slow day. If we notice any problems with your upload, we’ll get in touch.

You can upload pretty much any file type - .mov .mp4 .wmv - to name some of the biggies. And what kind of specs are we looking for? Typically the best compression for our site is .mov or .mp4 using the H.264 codec, in 640 X 480 pixels, optimized for broadband streaming. Freevlog provides some really awesome video and compression tutorials here.
