Wow, this content is heaven sent. I will definitely be entering. :]

Say, hannah karina, which character and "script" are you gonna do? What a neat contest!

I think I'm doing the Joan dialogue, because I have an idea to incorporate some of my own comedy into the end ;]

Cool! Hope ya win!

I want a walk-on in the writers' room.

Not available to Canadians!? BAAHH!
Someone please tell me this rule will change!

I'm Canadian but I'm still entering, it shouldn't be an issue :p

The form doesn't work when I go to upload, either in Firefox or Safari. It lets me fill in everything but when I press "Browse" and select my file, it won't show up, and when I click "Submit" it says "please select your video file."
My video is in Quicktime format and works fine, so I'm pretty sure it's just the form.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I got it to work. Had to mail it to myself and upload from a different computer, but I got it done! I can't wait until the voting starts. :]

wait, so if I'm 16, can I enter or not?

Hi Mad4MadMen, sorry to say but you do have to be 18 or older to be eligible....

it says you have to be over the age of 13 to be eligible. :) so, yes if you are sixteen you can enter!

& oh man, i'm up against hannah karina? i admire you from afar on livejournal! this is going to be fun.

Oh wow, I'm flattered. :] Best of luck!
I'm quite sure you need to be 18, the person who posted that is the one who posted this blog so I'm quite sure they work for AMC - and because of the legal documents and such you'd have to sign if you win, you'd need to be 18. It says so in the official rules but yeah . . . I'm not sure it's a bit confusing there with the "check that you are 13" bit.
But I am 18, good thing you don't have to be 21 or I'd be ticked. :p

Hmm, yeah. I e-mailed AMC, hopefully they can give me a definitive answer.

Mad4Mad Men -- Apologies but you must be 18 years of age to enter. For complete eligibility info please check the official terms & conditions (please click "Click to View") under the Terms and Conditions check box in the entry field.

I can't wait to see everyones' entries. :]

I hope I get the confirmation email soon, I submit 2 days ago. :S

the wait is killing me! i'm so excited. :D it's going to be a lot of fun!

My video was not approved and I have no idea why? I followed all the rules and my video was in the correct format. The e-mail didn't give me any reason for why it was denied. Can someone help me with this?

HI Hannah,

The Terms and Conditions/rules clearly state in the first paragraph that this contest is only eligible to U.S. residents. I believe you are located in Canada, no? We liked your video but legally we cannot enter it into the contest....

Hello all- You may now view, vote, and comment on contest entries on the official "You Could Be on Mad Men" micro-site. You will find the url in this post.

Hello all-

We are so excited about your entries. Many of the ones we have reviewed are very creative and well done.

In regards to the question about eligibility, again, you must be 18 years or older and a U.S. resident.
Please read the Terms and Conditions carefully.

Anyone who does not meet these Terms and Conditions will ultimately NOT be eligible to win the prize, even if their entry gets posted on the "You Could Be on Mad Men Contest" site.

Thanks,

In the rules you state that you want our own interpretation of the scene....in the Don Draper script am I allowed to substitute another word for "Advertising" and not be disqualified? I assure you it appropriate, it refers to another profession. Thank you.

Hi Retro,

Please stick with the script. It's great to hear you want to try something different, but when we say your own interpretation we mean you can change the character's tone, pacing, art direction, set design, choreography, etc.

Don Draper's world is all about advertising, so I think if you changed that particular word that it is no longer really about "Mad Men".

This is a good question and I will add it to the FAQ on the main contest site.

Let the games begin.....Allow me to introduce myself they call me. Michael Justice

haha I thought once you click the button it automatically goes on the site ha. I did it like three or four times because it didnt go on right after I completed it opps.

looking foward to seeing other people's videos

AAACCCCHHHH....what a time for my player to freeze up. Damn! Anyone know how to get a Windows (XP) Media Player unfrozen???? Just shows the opening pic of whoever (of the viewer- sent-in videos for the contest) and then just freezes or goes black screen with no sound! Why now??

If anybody has that problem (my above post) I was able to fix (the player) by reinstalling via the Driver CD for the sound, etc. that came with the computer. Yay. Has nothing to do with the contest, but I just wanted to mention that in case it helps somebody who is in the same boat...players usually go screwy just when you need them the most. BTW, love all these creative, funny and impressive contest entries. There are about 10 entrants who should win...going to be hard to pick just one winner, right gang?

OH YEA BEING ON MAD MEN WOULD LIKE BE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!

In the past few days there have been several entries on the site that have no video. Just wondering if that is a known issue, and if it is being worked on ; ) Love this show and the contest is definitely a blast!!!

I submitted a video, it said it was accepted, but my entry isn't on the website. Who can I contact.

Hey, I was wondering how you guys got signed onto Fervent Records, because my BFF, my sister and I are starting our own singing group. We were just wonderingOutdoor Chairs

just fantastic !
