So what’s it like to be you? Capture the essence of your day in a video of 140 seconds or less. It can be funny, touching or profound. It can be about everything you did, everything you didn’t do, the day’s biggest dilemma or its most telling detail.
Upload your video and instantly share it with your social media networks rather than sending the same old updates. How? When you upload your video you can automatically share your video with your Twitter followers and place it on your Facebook feed, so your friends can also view your day and vote on your video.
Although you’re not required to use a specific camera, your video will be judged on image quality, originality and the ability to capture a day through your lens in 140 seconds. So get as creative as you want to be when capturing your day.
A Day Through Your Lens is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are at least 18 years old at the time of entry and who have Internet access and access to video-capturing and uploading equipment as of November 10, 2009.

Judges Award Phase: During the Judges Award Phase, a panel of qualified judges different from those used during the Screening and Pre-Judging Phase, determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, will select the Finalist with the highest-scoring Submission.
Audience Award Phase: During the Audience Award Phase, the Finalists’ Submissions will be posted in an online gallery for public viewing and rating at www.nikonfestival.com.
