The 2nd You Tube Stamp-Related Video Contest opens on January 1st 2011 and will run until May 31st 2011. The contest is sponsored by the American Philatelic Society and the American Stamp Dealers Association, in conjunction with the Smithsonian National Postal Museum’s Council of Philatelists.

This competition is open to all ages. The You Tube Stamp-Related Video Contest is designedto encourage stamp collectors to share their collections with people all over the world through digital means. It is recommended that each video should not be more than 4 minutes long.

All submitted videos will be featured on the American Philatelic Society’s You Tube Channel accessible at www.youtube.com/AmericasStampClub. (Entries from the first You Tube competition are archived there and may be viewed for ideas). There is no limit as to how many videos each person can enter.

The entries will be judged for an overall champion, plus a youth group, adult, APS Chapters and Clubs, and a professional category – to include stamp dealers. The prize for the overall Champion will be $250.00 and the other categories will receive $50.00 (cash or in-kind gift certificates) per category.
