TravelPod is about to turn 10 years old and we need your help!

Back in '97, a guy called Lucky decided to build a website that would help travelers share their travel experiences with family and friends. Little did he know that over the next 10 years he would be responsible for creating a web destination where thousands of travelers would be sharing their adventures online.

Over the years, we have grown in ways that we could have never dreamed thanks to the explosion of technology & curious travelers world wide. It seems fitting that to commemorate this fine decade, we would ask everyone to contribute & share with us!

TravelPod is inviting every member to send in their birthday wishes in a short video. We will then combine the clips and run them on the main page for all the world to see. What will you come up with for your 10 seconds of fame?

We want your wackiest, funniest, most creative, unique and out there ideas and will reward you for your effort. The member submitting the best Happy Birthday TravelPod video will win an iPod Nano!

Here's how it works:

1. Each member is allowed one entry per username. You can submit as many videos as you like but only one entry will be eligible for the free iPod.

2. Videos must be no more than ten seconds long and MUST include the words “Happy Birthday TravelPod” either verbally and/or visually.

3. Videos containing profanity or nudity will not be considered for the contest. Let's keep it clean.

4. Videos must be submitted no later than 11:59 GMT September, 30, 2007 to happybirthday@travelpod.com <mailto:happybirthday@travelpod.com>

5. Once we have received and accepted your entry, you'll receive a confirmation email.

6. In the month of October we'll narrow them down to 10 finalists, members will be able to view and vote for their favorite video which will determine the winner.

7. Please submit your videos in avi, mpg, or mov format. Check with us before recording your video if your camera uses another type and we will see if we can accommodate it.

How will you wish TravelPod Happy Birthday with your 10 seconds? Get creative! We know you are an imaginative bunch and expect to be blown away with your inventiveness. Let's see what you’ve got.

Good luck!

Thanks to ScottWoz for the suggestion
