Ultimate Video Relay

ULTIMATE VIDEO RELAY
Official Rules
Last updated April 30, 2008

1. OVERVIEW

a.	Ultimate Video Relay (the "UVR") is designed to be the ultimate collaborative short form filmed entertainment project inspired by the idea of "ultimate." From the aspirational ("the ulvtimate truth") to the everyday ("the ultimate martini") and every point in between, the use and interpretation of the term is broad yet consistent. The common thread is the notion of seeking, attaining or being the very best – from personal relationships ("the ultimate girlfriend") to hardware ("the ultimate machine"). When the pursuit or reflection of "ultimate" is at the core of each act of a story, then the resulting whole is itself likely to flourish in the realm of "ultimate" despite that its creators hailed from a pool of random and disparate collaborators.
b.	UVR is hosted by Omelet, LLC ("Omelet") on the ultimatevideorelay.com World Wide Web site (the "Site," located at http://www.ultimatevideorelay.com). BY PARTICIPATING IN UVR, YOU ("ENTRANT") FULLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND BE BOUND BY THESE OFFICIAL RULES, THE TERMS OF USE, THE PRIVACY POLICY AND BY ALL DECISIONS OF OMELET, WHICH DECISIONS SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL RESPECTS.
c.	UVR will launch on or before May 1, 2008, the day that a short form video commissioned by Omelet comprising Act I of a three act story ("Act I Video") is made available for viewing to visitors on the Site. The Act I Video is designed to inspire Entrants to continue the story captured therein by writing an "Act II Script." Those scripts will be judged by users visiting the Site based on criteria specified below and six (6) will be selected to continue in UVR as "Act II Finalists" who will each then produce an "Act II Video" from his or her Act II Script. The Act II Videos will be judged by users visiting the Site based on criteria specified below and one will be deemed the "Act II Winner." All Site visitors who have not then submitted videos will be invited to take inspiration from the Act II Winner and continue the UVR story by writing an "Act III Script." Those scripts will be judged by users visiting the Site based on the criteria specified below and six (6) will be selected to continue in UVR as "Act III Finalists" who will each then produce an "Act III Video" from his or her Act III Script. The Act III Videos will be judged by users visiting the Site based on criteria specified below and one will be deemed the "Act III Winner." At the conclusion of the UVR, the "Video Voting Award" will be given to one person randomly selected from all visitors to the Site who have viewed and voted on each of the Act II Videos and Act III Videos (excluding Act II Finalists and Act III Finalists). Any Act II Script or Act III Script may herein be referred to as "Script." Any Act II Video or Act III Video may be herein referred to as "Video."
d.	Each Act II Finalist, Act II Finalist and the Video Voting Award recipient will receive a filmmaking prize equipment package, defined below.
e.	The invitations to submit Act II Scripts, Act II Videos, Act III Scripts and Act III Videos (each a "Deliverable") shall each begin on separate dates to be designated by Omelet and noted on the Site (each a "Start Date") and shall continue until such date as may be designated by Omelet on the Site (each an "End Date"). The period commencing with each Start Date and completing on the End Date for the particular Deliverable shall be referred to herein as the "Submission Period" for that Deliverable. Omelet will designate a "Rating Period" to follow each Submission Period during which time visitors to the Site, including Entrants, will be invited to review and rate each applicable Deliverable. Omelet reserves the right, in addition to those other rights reserved herein, to modify any date(s) or deadline(s) set forth in these Official Rules or otherwise governing UVR.

2. ELIGIBILITY, REGISTRATION AND UVR ENTRANT PARTICIPATION SEQUENCE

UVR is open to any individual who is, as of the Launch Date, a U.S. resident 18 years of age or older. Misrepresentation of age will disqualify Entrant on discovery.

No individual who is disqualified from UVR will be permitted to "re-register" to participate in UVR in any capacity.
