I drives me nuts how difficult it is to do something (legally) with many countries. I wanted to send shipping containers full of auto parts that can be used for purposes other than for cars ... alternator with a fan blade to build low cost 12VDC wind power... Salvage the auto bulbs and sockets for lighting. Hit the brick wall!!! ... then I learn about someone that has a scam running shipping container after container out of this country... no problem for this guy... he is working a loop hole according to my source. So this would be of interest to me, assume it would be a big attraction for many. > - Improving your own skills in editing, filming and sound by getting > master class workshops from D.P.s and editors, etc. > and more...

Yeah, awards too often feel/look like backslapping. I don't hate them so much when it is something like a Pulitzer or Nobel ... Your list of categories <http://vlogalicious.com/?page_id=18> I like, and think that the criteria should be expanded on. For instance... Political "Get Polictical @ Vlogalicious'08″ Vlogs that expose important matters happening in the world today. Maybe I missed a more detailed description, but IMO the bar should be raised pretty high to differentiate a Vlogalicious from the rest. Political "Get Political @ Vlogalicious'08″ Individuals or groups producing daily Vlogs that expose or _______ governments and businesses that ___________, enhancing the lives and empowering people to _______ __________ impacting the decision makers to correct or __________ important matters happening in the world today. I am not a writer and I am certainly not you. It is your site. I just think that a much more detailed requirement for each category would ensure that the cream rises to the top. > Cheers, > GabeMac > www.vlogalicious.com >
