After receiving 150 amazing entries to the How-to Video Challenge, we opened the official voting period yesterday to help us determine the top 10 finalists that will be judged by our stellar jury. Within a few hours of the voting period opening, we noticed certain irregularities in the voting process that could impact the fairness of the voting for all entrants. We have researched the irregularities and are working on the necessary corrections to prevent them from recurring.

In the interest of fairness, we’ve paused the voting period and will be restarting it as soon as possible, with all vote counts set to zero. None of the contest dates, including the end of the voting period, will be affected by this change. We apologize sincerely for having to restart the voting period but our top priority is to ensure that the contest is 100% fair to all the filmmakers and video artists who worked so hard on their entries. 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at videochallenge@howcast.com. 

Good luck to all the awesome entrants!
