To kick up anticipation for their big Vampire Diaries event on July 3rd and 4th, Hub Productions is holding a special fan competition – and it’s open to everyone in the world, not just Australians! We’ll let Hub fill you in:

As many of you know we use a short video to introduce each of our guests when they come out on stage. This time, we are handing over creative responsibility to you guys! Your mission is to create a vid, no longer than 2 and a half minutes in length, that introduces either Nina Dobrev, Paul Welsey, Ian Somerhalder or our fourth guest once they are announced.

Now, there’s a hefty list of guidelines/rules for the competition, and you need to read them thoroughly before going in, video editing programs blazin’. Done that? Good. Let’s get to the good stuff.

Again, the competition is open to everyone in the world, regardless of whether you’re attending the Sydney and Melbourne fan events. Anyone and everyone can enter. The contest deadline is JUNE 26th!

Second, five videos for each guest (that’s 20 fanvids total, natch) will be played throughout both days of the event. One video for each guest will be chosen as the ultimate winners by the Hub staff. Those four winners will not only have their video play as an introduction for their very special guest’s Q&A session, but that guest will receive a copy of their respective winner’s video on disc. That’s kind of amazing, right?

If you’re a winner and you’re actually at the event, you will also receive an autograph from a Vampire Diaries guest. If you’re not at the event, don’t worry – Vampire-Diaries.net will hook you up a special prize pack (winners attending will get this too, in addition to their autograph):

• Vampire Diaries “Love Sucks” (22″ x 34″) poster
• Mad Langer’s 2009 self-titled album featuring “Beauty of the Dark” (as played on Vampire Diaries), courtesy of Mads Langer and Copenhagen Records
• KRMA Rocky Fang t-shirt, courtesy of native Australian Nicholas Bowes and KRMA Clothing (Nina wears KRMA’s leather jackets/clothing on the show and in real life, and is collaborating with Bowes.)
• Love You to Death: The Unofficial Companion to The Vampire Diaries by Crissy Calhoun (out September 2010), courtesy of ECW Press
• A Visitors Guide to Mystic Falls: Your Favorite Authors on The Vampire Diaries, edited by Red & Vee of Vampire-Diaries.net (out October 2010), courtesy of Smart Pop Books

We’re working on some additional goodies for the packs, so keep an eye on V-D.net and Hub’s website to see what else you can win by whipping up a fantastic fanvid for the object of your TVD affections. In the meantime, check out all of the entries so far at Hub. Have a blast and good luck!
