In celebration of the upcoming 2009 Official XWP Convention at the end of January, Talking Xena presents.........
"The Xenaverse Family Reunion" 
The TX Video Challenge #4
Best XWP Convention Video
Create a video celebrating the official
xwp conventions and you could receive a Gold, Silver or Bronze Award in the fourth Official Talking Xena Video Challenge!
PRIZES:
Members will vote for the best video entry. The creators of the Gold (first place), Silver (second place) and Bronze (third place) Award videos will
receive a special TX Award Avatar designed by our talented PMBPRO to appear under their title in addition to any personal avatar they
may already have under their handle name.
In addition, all award recipients can choose a XWP, Lucy or Reneé related prize from our TX Prize Vault to be mailed to them. The creators of the
Gold, Silver and Bronze Xenaverse Family Reunion Videos can choose from among our many treasures such as T-Shirts, comic books, magnet
sets, a XWP travel mug, an action figure/doll and a XWP necklace. In addition to the choices listed above, the creator of the Gold Xenaverse
Family Reunion Video can choose their prize from a CD, trading cards, Creation photos, XWP books and other valuable treasures.
In the event that two or more award recipients choose the same collectible, the Gold Award recipient has first choice over the Silver and Bronze Award
recipients and the Silver Award recipient has first choice over the Bronze Award recipient. Please note that the award recipients will need to supply a home
mailing address (privately, of course) in order to receive their prize.
NOTE: If both of a contestant's videos are voted into the Top 3 positions, the contestant will receive only the higher of the two prizes and the next
highest vote getting videos will move up. For example, if a contestant has a video voted into the First Place (Gold) and Second Place (Silver), that contestant
will receive the higher First Place (Gold) prize while the Third Place (Bronze) video will move up to Second Place (Silver) and the Fourth Place video will
move up to Third Place (Bronze) prize. Submitting two videos will increase a contestant's chances of receiving a prize however a contestant will receive no
more than one prize overall.
