Next Tuesday will be our third NewTeeVee and Metacafe Pier Screenings, and we have no idea what we’ll be showing yet. That’s by design, though — we’ve been collecting videos since we announced the event. Now it’s time for you guys to head over to screenings.newteevee.com, our Ning site, and rate your favorite contenders. The six with the highest rating based on a significant number of votes will be shown on July 24.

If you haven’t submitted yet, not to worry! It’s a rolling process — post it up there (directions), we’ll get it approved, and people will be rating it in no time. Just get all this done — submitting and voting — by the morning of July 22. At that point we’ll take a tally and contact the winners for high-res versions of their shorts to show at the screenings.

Remember, we are looking for the best examples of the intersection of online video content and advertising. That could be product placement, sponsorship, infomercial — whatever you want. If people don’t pay you to pitch their products, just make up a product of your own!

In the spirit of product placement, here’s a list of our event sponsors: co-host Metacafe (offering up a raffle to attendees and home-page featuring to the winners), gold sponsor VideoClix (raffling $5000 worth of tools for making clickable videos), gold sponsor Fabrik (offering winners the ever-popular mondo harddrives), silver sponsor Kiptronic, fan sponsor vod:pod, live streaming provider Veodia, and music sponsor Om Records (no, not that Om).

Don’t forget to sign up — it’s free and there will be snacks and beer in addition to entertainment from the likes of Lonelygirl15 creator Greg Goodfried.
