SWAT4 10th Anniversary Competition [with PRIZES]

Dear m8ys,

SWAT4 will celebrate its 10th birthday next month. To commemorate this special event, we want community members to share the reasons why they love this game. But the idea is to make it a competition. Players can submit their entries either by uploading a brief video displaying their passion for SWAT4, or by writing up a short piece of text describing their addiction to the game.

The winning entry will be posted live on the front pages of SWAT4Stats.com, Markmods.com and linked on the DExUS Server Browser. The creator of the winning entry can also choose between a free 3-month SWAT4 server from MarkMods, or a €30 euro cash prize (PayPal).

But remember, we are not necessarily looking for a video with the best editing effects, or a high standard of English in a written piece. All we want is for you to portray, in your own way, why you love this game. Entrants can stay anonymous if the wish; it is also allowed for a clan to jointly submit a video (for example) together.

The deadline for this competition is Thursday, 30th April 2015. An independent panel of 5 will judge the entries and the winner will be announced on Saturday 9th May. All entries should be submitted to: sunbun93@gmail.com.

A few notes to add, as a few people are asking:

-Do not just make a standard frags video; this earns zero points and is not what we are looking for. Instead, be as creative as possible and surprise us.
-Give a reference to the 10th anniversary somewhere in your video/text.
-A recommended format would be 3 minutes for a video or around 300 words for a written entry, however you can make it as short/long as you like.
-This competition has been made public on all active SWAT4 clan forums, therefore it is important you put effort into this because a lazy attempt will be easily spotted.
-Get involved! There is only one motive in all of this – to give justice to a game that has served us so well for an entire decade.

Less than 2 weeks till the deadline! Good luck

Sorry for delay, there was difficulty in contacting the winning author.

Competition as a whole had fairly disappointing community input, less than ten videos were submitted along with a couple of text entries.
As mentioned, the winning entry can now be found on S4Stats, it has also just been implemented into the DExUS server browser in the last few hours, just waiting for Markmods.com now.

You can view all the entries below - many of them were old, with little context to 10th anniversary. Though there was one from an MYT member, try and find which one:
