We entered your contest and have tried to contact Career Builder many times to find out why our commerical is unavailable for ranking/voting.
We did get an acknowledgement that our entry was received but it is not available to viewers.
It may be that there are better entries but the rules should be legit.
Anyone who can answer why all entries are not available for viewing please advise.
ps
I love about.com
Hi Loveless,
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with this contest. Please be aware that VidOpp only collects the contests to make it easy for you to find them, we do not sponsor or manage the contests in any way. That said, there is no winner selected by public voting on this contest. If a video is not selected by the judges for the Top 10, it is out. This one is very simple.
Regards,
Douglas
