Chances are pretty good you have some videos on your smart phone. Chances are also good that some of the videos are hilaaaaaarious. Send them to us!

We want to showcase the funniest home videos that Maine and New Hampshire have to offer. Send us your video and you will be entered to win a prize (see prize details below), or at the very least get famous (appearance on Ellen not guaranteed). Entrant will be randomly chosen to win the prize. Not every video submitted will be featured on WJBQ.com.

What kind of videos are we looking for? How about these for inspiration?

  • Funny kid videos.
  • Funny pet videos.
  • Really good celebrity impressions.
  • Amazing magic tricks and illusions.
  • Fumbles and falls where nobody gets hurt.
  • Funny wedding speeches.
  • Hilarious misunderstandings.
  • Real-life bloopers.

What aren't we looking for?

  • Videos showing people getting hurt. Don't. Send. Us. These.
  • Videos that show people doing illegal things or show people how to do illegal things.
  • Videos with a LOT of cursing (we can beep a few but who has time for that?!).
  • Nudity (duh).
  • Videos with music that we don't own the rights to (so pretty much -- any music). Music that you have written is fine! In general, avoid music.
  • Videos that show people teasing or bullying other people in any form. Let's be nice out there.

The number of winners to be selected in a specific Giveaway will be posted on the applicable Giveaway site. The odds of being selected as a potential winner depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period. Potential winners will be contacted via email and will be asked to provide their full name, age and mailing address within a specified time period.

No cash or other substitution may be made, except by the Sponsor, who reserves the right to substitute a prize with another prize of equal or greater value if the prize is not available for any reason as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. The winners are responsible for any taxes and fees associated with receipt or use of a prize.

9. General Conditions: In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the Giveaway is impaired in any way for any reason, including, but not limited to fraud, virus, or other technical problem, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, either: (a) suspend the Giveaway to address the impairment and then resume the Giveaway in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules; or (b) award the prizes at random from among the eligible entries received up to the time of the impairment. The Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Giveaway or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to undermine the legitimate operation of the Giveaway may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. In case of a dispute as to the owner of an entry, entry will be deemed to have been submitted by the authorized account holder of the screen name from which the entry is made. The authorized account holder is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address.

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, entrant’s rights and obligations, or the rights and obligations of the Sponsors in connection with the Giveaway, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of New York or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than New York.
