About The Entry Process

How do you enter?

Simply create an entertaining 90 seconds (or less) Video Resume – what we at Prevview call Visume – that is a presentation of yourself, showing/telling why you would be a great employee to any company. All entries need to be uploaded to www.prevview.com/visumewars. Visumes should be no more than 90 seconds long with a file size NOT exceeding 100MB. There’s also a brief application form to fill out online.

Can I enter via means other than an online video entry?

No, video entries for the competition will only be accepted if they are submitted to www.prevview.com/visumewars.

Does my entry need to be in English?

Yes, your Visume will need to be in English.

Will all applications be displayed online?

Upon completing the online registration form, every entry will be published immediately on the campaign website after the Visume has been uploaded. It will also appear in the Prevview Facebook Page and Prevview YouTube Channel. Any entry that contains illegal or abusive content will be taken down immediately.

What should my entry/video include?

Your video entry will be judged on its messaging and creativity. Terms and Conditions include:

1. A Visume must be kept to 90 seconds. Any entry exceeding 90 seconds will not be considered for either category of prizes.
   
   
2. The Visume should be a representation of yourself, and show/tell why you would make a great employee. You may even ask your references to appear on the Visume and pitch on your behalf.
   
   
3. Creativity and Originality – you can sing, dance, rap, produce a movie, create an animation or even sell a brick on your Visume. What matters is that it must represent you.

What kind of details should be EXCLUDED from my video entry?

Please don’t include phone numbers or contact details (including email addresses). You can include details of your website, facebook, twitter and other social media platforms instead.

What if my entry is over 90 seconds long?

Your entry will be automatically rejected as it exceeds the time limit. All videos must be 90 seconds or under. Participants with entries over this time limit will be notified and taken down.

How will you process all of the Visume entries?

All Visume entries will be quality assured by the Prevview team. The team will view the visumes on an on-going and regular basis.

Why would a Visume be rejected?

Visumes are first viewed and accepted or rejected based on a simple quality assurance criterion. For example, Visumes that contain nudity, obscenity, exceed the time limit or do not meet the brief will be taken down.
