3) You must show yourself creatively in the video (I'm not saying put yourself
costumes). It means that you can do a monologue, a TV show, etc.
4) Create a YouTube account and upload the video there, then you ONLY need to submit
I link to the video. It will take time to load, so I really recommend doing it with
enough time. After the hour I will not accept activities.
