Ok, so a lot of you I'm sure may well have never made a video before entering this contest and if you did make a video you probably don't know how the YouTube/Tagging system works.
Step One:
When you finally make your video you'll want to upload it to YouTube which will require an account, much like you have here on EF (or don't if you are still browsing).
After you've made your account you can upload from one of two places on the YouTube site: One is the gold colored button on the top right of the home page that is labeled upload or you can do it through your account page on YouTube under the My Videos/Upload Videos link.
Step Two:
Once you've clicked and uploaded the video you want to enter, you still have to fill in 4 fields of information:
Title: "Entropia Let it Rock: (Insert Your Title Here)"
Description: Sum up what it is you've created so that people who aren't familiar with EU can easily figure it out if feel like checking, it would be smart to state its a competition and even link back to the main EU homepage and even Entropia Forum.
Tags: This is probably one of the more important ones, tags are what links your videos directly to be displayed in the "Related Videos" display when people are viewing other videos about Entropia and the competition. So you want to be sure to tag it properly. Here is a bunch of selected tags you can copy and paste into this field as is:
Category: For this type of video the best choice of category would be "Gaming" which you select from the drop down menu.
High Quality Video

Get those high Quality videos linked properly...
Depending on format you uploaded, here are codes to put after url to open on your preferred resolution/setting automatically.
- &fmt=6 - increases the resolution from 320×240 to 448×336, Flash 7 video @ 900Kbps; audio @ 44.1KHz 96Kbps Mono CBR.
- &fmt=18 - increases the resolution to 480×360, H.264 video @ 512Kbps; audio @ 44.1KHz 128Kbps Stereo.
- &fmt=22 - increases the resolution to 1280×720 (720p), H.264 video @ 1024Kbps; audio @ 44.1KHz 232Kbps Stereo.
For the best results, use 1280×720 format to upload then, so you have all 3 options to view in where ever
Heidi Klum as sample

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EutKrKTfLk&fmt=18 - better
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EutKrKTfLk&fmt=22 - best
EF don't support embedding in other that 'normal' setting, so IMO rather not embed HQ or HD videos
