The IFC, in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Symposium, is pleased to announce the first ever "Funniest Ferret Videos of the FML" Home Video Contest!

Judges
An elite panel of judges will independently score all videos, considering things such as technical quality of the video, entertainment value and creativity. Points will be awarded in each category and also given for the top three videos. After all judges have scored the videos, an independent scorer will tally the points and rank the videos by totals.
     
Winners
Winners of the contest will be announced at the Ferret Symposium 2008 in Pittsburgh, PA. The top five videos will be shown during the first day of the Symposium, and a DVD of the best videos will be available for sale. All proceeds from the sale of these videos will benefit the ADV Research Fund at UGA.
