Has there ever been a video contest?

Maybe 10 or 15 second limit?

I think it could be great fun! I am so much without essential knowledge, I wonder if uploading one is difficult.

You'd be surprised how much of a story you can tell in say 30 secs. Think of the best tv commercial you have ever seen and how much was said in 30 seconds or less. To do that takes a little more work than still photography but when you do it right it can be funny, emotional, educational, you name it. Thirty seconds is a lot more time than you realize. To quote the fictional Don Draper "Every great ad tells a story."
