This contest ends on July 20, 2010 so hurry to create and submit your video. For more details on the ShareYourVille Video Contest, read the Official Rules.

This contest is easy and fun for people of all skill levels. Amateurs can have zero to little experience in creating a video and can use a video camera, a webcam or a digital camera or other device such as a cell phone or .mp3 player that records video. No editing is required. Just click the Upload A Video button to create an account and get started.

Professionals generally have more expensive cameras and experience in scripting, shooting and editing a video. We created two different divisions with different requirements and prizes so Amateurs could compete against other Amateurs and the Pros could go head to head.

There are four different video categories in this contest:

FRIENDSVILLE

• Who is part of your VILLE? How do you hang out and use the great taste of Johnsonville Sausage to make these moments even better?

FAMILYVILLE

• These are your folks. Share with us how you spend time together and with the great taste of Johnsonville Sausage.

EVENTVILLE

• Share with us what takes you to your special place. A day on the lake? Tailgating before the game? How does the great taste of Johnsonville Sausage make this a more memorable event?

LOCATIONVILLE

• Where do you live? Invite us into your backyard and share your Johnsonville Sausage grilling recipes & tips. Happen to live in a "VILLE" of your own (Jacksonville, Bentonville, Libertyville)? Share your "VILLE" experience with us!
