It can take up to 15 minutes for our system to encode your contest entry. If after 15 minutes you still do not see your entry, you can either try your upload again or email support@yobi.tv
YOBI maintains a site-wide PG-13 / TV13 standard. If your entry contains language or images that would be considered R rated material, please adjust with bleeps, alternative dialog, or other creative methods prior to entering the contest. YOBI reserves the right to disqualify entries that our Contest Officials determine to be in violation of a PG-13 / TV13 rating.
Editing or changing the video content of entries is not allowed. Because YOBI members may have already voted for your existing entry, changing the content of the entry would be unfair. If you like, however, you can unpublish/delete the existing entry and upload a new one. You may edit or change the title and description associated with your entry by clicking the Edit Entry link on your Contest Entries page.
Use the sharing links on your contest entry page to recruit votes from friends and acquaintances. Visit our How to Use YOBI.tv page for more information.
Actually, that is exactly what we recommend you do! Recruiting votes from your friends, family, and acquaintances is the best way to tip the odds of winning in your favor.
Contest entry votes are reset to zero at the beginning of each week during the 40 Weekly Contests. If you don't vote every week, your chances of making it into the SemiFinals decreases dramatically.
No. Section 4 of the YOBI.tv Terms of Service prohibits members from having more than one account. We scan frequently for suspicious accounts and voting activity. If we determine that a YOBI member is in violation of our Terms of Service, we disable all of that member's accounts, reverse all of that member's votes, and permanently ban that member from the YOBI community.
