Over the past fortnight I've had loads of lovely messages and tweets from those of you who were amongst the first 100 to upload videos for the Schwarzkopf Facebook competition, and bagged a £50 Topshop voucher in return - well done! I hope its given you a taste for video comps, which are becoming more popular now people can use webcams, Smartphones or iPads to easily record footage.... here are all the latest video comps I've found for you to have a bash at!
If your son or daughter is a Gooner they may well want to win a 4 hour training session with Robin Van Persie! To enter, upload a video of their football skills at www.cartoonnetwork.co.uk/2012/bootcamp/. Judges will pick the top 20, and as usual they will go to a public vote. Be quick and enter by 24 June 2012 - there are only 27 entries so far.
I'm GUTTED that the Kikkomania competition is voting one again this year - it's such a shame! The top prize is two return flights to Japan. To enter, upload a video of how Kikkoman soy sauce inspires you by 25 June 2012.
There's just a couple of weeks to record your goal celebration for the Currys and PC World competition - they've generously been giving away a £500 prize every week to the best video, and the overall winner gets a whopping £5000! Get your entries in at www.goalcelebrations.co.uk by the weekly closing dates of 20 June, 27 June or 4 July 2012.

Viking Direct have made some fun films featuring their Office Ref handing out red and yellow cards which you can check out on their YouTube channel. For their competition you need to upload your own Office Ref video to YouTube, then complete the entry form here with your link. Videos will be shortlisted and the judges will pick their two favourites to go head-to-head in the final to win an iPad. I love the idea of this competition but as it's a public vote I won't be wasting time on it. Good luck to those of you who do though - the rules are very detailed as far as the voting is concerned so hopefully it won't turn into a farce! Closing date is midnight on 27 June 2012.
Bayer Material Science are giving away three Adidas Tango match balls - upload a video which tells your story about celebrating, playing and living soccer to their Facebook App. The three with the most votes win the balls - there's only one entry so far, with two votes! Ends 28 June 2012.
There should be a great chance of success in the Content and Calm competition if you have a budding travel reporter at home - there are ten prizes to be won! Upload a video of your child sharing their memories of a favourite holiday. The 19 entries with the most votes (plus a wildcard entrant) will be judged - the best ten get a £250 family day out. The grand prize winner - judged on content, creativity and reporting flair - gets a £4000 family holiday to Greece! Enter on Facebook before 1 July 2012.
Who fancies starring in the new Chicken Tonight advert? Yes, I thought so. Upload a video of you doing the famous elbow dance routines, and you could be one of 6 winners spending a day in Leeds between 12th - 15th July to film the new ad. You get travel expenses and an overnight stay, but more importantly the prestige of appearing in the advert! Enter on their Facebook App by 1 July 2012.
Clydesdale Bank have twenty prizes of £1000 for your cricket club or community to be won. To enter, flm a video of your 'Howzat' appeal and upload to their Facebook App. The judges will pick winners from the videos with the most votes on closing dates of 5 July 2012, 9 August 2012 and 26 September 2012.
There's a great opportunity for Scottish youngsters between 12-17 to join the Standard Life Festival backstage film production team for a day at the Edinburgh International Festival. Upload a short film about your passion for something arty or cultural here before 19 July 2012.
And another one for younger compers - be a Clarks dance superstar with Kimberly Wyatt! To enter, download the track from the Nickelodeon website and make a video of you dancing to it. The twelve best will go to (you guessed it) public vote to decide the winner, who will get the opportunity to train with Kimberly and make their own video to be broadcast on Nickelodeon. There are runners up prizes of an iPad 3, a Xbox 360, and Clarks shoes for a year. I can't find the full terms and conditions (I wonder if they might be available when you upload your film) but the closing date is 17 July 2012 and you must be available on 21 September to film with Kimberly.
Cottages4you are giving away a great prize of £500 cottage holiday vouchers to the best giggle video - your little one must be under 3! This was initially a voting competition but I asked nicely if they might change their mind and they did - so it's well worth an entry! Upload your video here - this closes on 29 July 2012.
Tell Old Jamaican Ginger Beer your best joke and you could win a week in Jamaica! Although the terms suggest it's decided on votes, they have confirmed to me that they will be judging all entries so it's worth a go (if I was entering I'd also try and get a cheeky can of Old Jamaica in shot too!). Upload your video to the Facebook App before 30 July 2012.
The Skyscanner travel reporter competition might LOOK good but it's worth reading the small print before you enter. Yuu need to record a short video about a destination you love - of the initial entries, Skyscanner choose 5 to go through to the final, along with the 5 most popular. Then there's ANOTHER vote to decide the winner (...where obviously one of the videos with the most votes from the first stage will win!). The prize is advertised as £1500 vouchers, but actually the winner receives three lots of £500 vouchers and must send a 3 minute video report on each of the 3 trips to Skyscanner, otherwise they don't get the rest of the vouchers - and you need to complete all travel before 31 August 2013! The terms include no mention at all of the voting system so I wouldn't be surprised if Skyscanner get themselves in a pickle with this one! Closing date to get your video uploaded is 31 July 2012.
Have you managed to quit smoking recently? Upload a 60 second video diary talking about your success to www.quitfullstop.co.uk and you could win yourself a £200 Virgin Experience Gift Day voucher. The winner will be chosen at random, and you need to get your entries in before 31 July 2012.
Football and dancing - should they be combined? Probably not, but that's not stopped Diamond Football from inventing this 'Stand in Line' dance for you to copy, featuring such classic moves as heading the ball and the offside hand up! Upload your version of it here and you could win £250 Diamond Football vouchers, or one of 12 runners up prizes. this one is open worldwide and closes on 31 August 2012.
To enter Dertour's new video competition, first you'll need to get your own Ronnie Rhino (you may already have won one of these in their photo comp last year!) and then take him on holiday with you, then make a movie showing him being thrown in and out of shot (like in the example above!). Their favourite entry will win a 2 night trip for 2 to Switzerland. Apply for your free Ronnie (they only have 300!) on the Facebook App. Closes 31 August 2012.
Good luck!
