Summit Racing for all of your automotive parts needs!
We're giving away a gift card a day for 10 days to the user whose videos get the most kudos by 12:00 PM EST very day!
For over three years StreetFire has been letting people "thumb up" videos to increase a user's score. Well the score system is out and Kudos are in.
What are Kudos?Kudos are a way for us to recognize you for all the great stuff you contribute on StreetFire.net. Your Kudos are displayed next to everything you do on StreetFire, including your profile, videos, photos and rides. Your kudos give others insight into your contribution to the world of StreetFire.
Kudos can also be used to influence how videos are viewed on the site. Video kudos are influenced by how many people Favorite a video as well as how popular the video is on the web. The Kudos you earn for each of your videos are added up and contribute to your total Kudos. If you want to earn a lot of Kudos, uploading great videos and sharing them with your friends is a great way to do it.
So how do I win a $250 Gift Card?Simple, upload a video, and a 12:00 PM (Eastern Time), our moderators will see what video uploaded the previous day has the most video Kudos. Want to check your standings? Throughout the day click the videos tab and select "today" on the time. You will see a listing of all videos uploaded that day stacked by video Kudos.
How do I get Kudos for my video?Getting Kudos are easy. Video kudos are simply number of people that have added your video to their favorites, plus the number of websites linking to your video. Want more Kudos? Have your friends sign up and favorite your video. Want more links to your video? Well, then you have to upload a good video that people will link too, but then if you upload a great video, people will add it to your favorites as well. Remember the whole point of the kudos system is to reward the users that upload the best content to StreetFire. People that abuse the contest with fake accounts or link farming will be disqualified.
How will a winner be chosen?Starting Wednesday April 23, 2008 and ending on Friday May 2, 2008 our staff will pick a winner from the previous day's uploaded videos. Whichever video has the most kudos at that point in time will win. 10 days, 10 chances to win. Judging will happen a approximately 12:00 PM Eastern Time each day. We will make a post on our blog to let everyone know who the winner is. Our professional channel partners are not included in the contest, and a person can only win once during the 10 day run of this contest. We want to make sure everyone gets a chance to compete!
