Youtube World Project 2014

Important: BULGARIA UPDATE

I'm subscribed to Martin, a Swedish guy in Youtube that makes videos on his channel (frankly called) TheSwedishLad. He launched a project called The Youtube World Project 2014.

So, how does this work? Basically, the aim of the project is for every country in the world to have a representative in a video that will be uploaded on the 8th of January, 2015. 

Want to become your country's representative? E-mail Martin at theswedishlad@gmail.com to let him know which country you're from. When he confirms your e-mail, he'll give you a time limit on how much time you'll get to complete your video. If he does not get your video in time, another person gets the rights to make one. 

The video must include you (the wannabe representative) saying "I am [name], and I come from [your country]", in your mother tongue / national language. Also, don't do this indoors! Preferably, shoot the video with you in an iconic monument of your country (like the Eifel Tower, Big Ben, etc). Make sure you get a good quality video with good audio!

I personally think that this is not just a good project, but a fun one also. I am really interested in the project, and I am looking forward for the video (I actually hope the video won't be uploaded on Jan. 8 2015, but hopefully earlier!). So spread the word, and become a part of The Youtube World Project 2014. LET'S DO THIS!

A LIST OF THE COUNTRIES THAT HAVE BE COMPLETED / CLAIMED IS HERE.

As of February 6, only 3 countries have completed their videos, the Czech Republic, Belarus and Finland.

< Martin, if you're reading this, I love your videos! (smiley face) >
