Make the Cut- Sharing Submission on Youtube

Question- I've noticed a lot of people have been sharing their Imagine Dragons contest submissions on Youtube. I'd really like to do the same, but I'm afraid it might result in disqualification. Is it possible for one of the moderators to give a definitive answer on this? Good luck to everyone!

    Hi All,

    For clarification, you are correct that usage of footage for purposes other than contest entry is prohibited and should not be shared beyond your immediate circle of friends and family. You may, however, include your entry in your personal portfolio, including Behance now that the contest is over.

    I was strongly against uploading to YouTube until I saw an entrant defend himself in the comments section saying that "the contest period ended on April 8." I went back to the rules and he is correct, its in the opening statement. What are everyone's thoughts on this? It would be nice to get an Adobe rep in to confirm whether or not we are NOW allowed to upload and share our entries...

    I saw that same comment, and I was wondering the same thing! I messaged them on Tuesday, to confirm if this was true but haven't heard back. I suspect it's fine at this point, but I would rather hear it from an official source just to be safe. Hopefully, I'll hear something before the weekend. I'll share here, if/when I do.

    I saw this written in the rules, but wondered if I had misinterpreted, since so many have been posted publicly on Youtube already. I'll take this as a firm no, then? Thanks for clarifying!

    The rules are very clear. Anyone who posted on YouTube is either

    (a) an idiot who is at risk of being disqualified; or

    (b) ineligible due to age or geography.
