Earlier last week, someone linked me to the WhoInspiresYou.ca Video Contest sponsored by TRI CYCLEN LO. The premise of the contest is to give one Canadian woman the monetary funding to help her chase her professional dream in a chosen field.



For the past year, I’ve been working towards a full-time job within esports. I’ve been to a number of events and had the opportunity to meet some of the most incredible people. I’ve worked with people like Artosis and Jason Lake. I’ve interviewed some fun community members from



There are two ways that I can win money:



1. Video views: The three entrants whose videos have the most views will be awarded $500.

2. Voting: Judges will pick the top ten based on the creativity and how the contestant is trying to achieve her dream. There will then be an open, public voting to win $500, $2500 or $10 000.



If I win any of the cash prizes, big or small, I will be using it first and foremost to fund a tournament or a showmatch series. It would be a great opportunity to learn how to plan, organize and run a tournament. It would be a fantastic way to learn new skills and expand my portfolio. Plus who doesn’t want the opportunity to organize a showmatch (or two) between his favorite players? It’s a daunting project, but on the off-chance that I do get money from this contest, I will be up to the challenge. I know that I have the resources and network available to help me do this properly. As stated in my video, if I win a bigger prize, I will be able to fund local events like documentary screenings, and I can purchase a much needed laptop.



As you can see, the video is a bit standard and targeted towards a mainstream, non-esports audience. I had a five minute time limit and couldn't go in-depth about anything, which was difficult. Also, it’s a contest for females who are “chasing their dreams” sponsored by a birth control pill. There’s obviously a touch of sap in my video submission. I’d love the opportunity to plan and fund projects within the community while building my portfolio and skill set, and winning this contest would give me the chance to do so.

Hi TeamLiquid,Earlier last week, someone linked me to the WhoInspiresYou.ca Video Contest sponsored by TRI CYCLEN LO. The premise of the contest is to give one Canadian woman the monetary funding to help her chase her professional dream in a chosen field.For the past year, I’ve been working towards a full-time job within esports. I’ve been to a number of events and had the opportunity to meet some of the most incredible people. I’ve worked with people like Artosis and Jason Lake. I’ve interviewed some fun community members from ThorZaiN to Michael Krukar IdrA to Sundance UltraDavid to HuK . I love being a part of this community, and while I’d love to continue to keep working in esports, I’m in a bit of a rut. In order to keep progressing by doing on-site coverage and networking, I need to continue to fund my trips or community projects, which comes with a hefty price tag. I’ve paid for over 90% of my travel costs over the past year, and it’s hard to work, pay the bills and pay for travel costs to do esports coverage. This year, I simply haven't been able to justify taking the time off work to spend money on esports travel. When I saw this contest, I knew it was a great opportunity for me to continue to fund my esports career.There are two ways that I can win money:1.

Both editing and changing shirts was easy. It was like "My name is Jacqueline, this is my entry... contest... Tri..." "My name is Jacqueline, this is this is my entry for the Whoinspiresu.ca Video Contest... and... something... I don't know what to say" that took hours. I kept tripping over my words, and I wanted to be able to have one cut per shirt. The Both editing and changing shirts was easy. It was like "My name is Jacqueline, this is my entry... contest...

Then again, she is a musician who produces her music to YouTube so it makes sense that her video was good.

Edit: i watched the other video that won last year and well one thing is that your video is almost exclusively about you. I mean you do state that the ESPORTS community and your local communities inspires you but compared to that other video, it's really nothing and seems really centered on yourself. So depending on what exactly they're looking for, that might or might not be a problem.

The videos with 100K+ views are entries from the past two, three years. As far as I can tell, the majority of the videos from this year are between 100-10 000. Still far from the top, but at least I'm not at the bottom.

I did speak with Diamond last night, and if I do win any money, he'd be willing to help me out! It's nice. The community is so supportive. I did speak with Diamond last night, and if I do win any money, he'd be willing to help me out! It's nice. The community is so supportive.

Also, even if you don't stream your own games, you should crush Jared at SC2 on his stream again sometime! A few players I generally support: ToD, Scarlett, Revival, LS, Soulkey, MMA.
