I can't remember all the criteria, but the videos are judged based on quality of filming, originality, the underlying theme/message of the story, and technical details (music, editing, etc). The underlying theme plays a huge role in the judging, and a big contribution to Micayla's win is that she wrote a whole rap herself.

@Justa25: Every video except Micayla's broke the maximum time limit rule. So then every video should have been disqualified?

@roseoakhill: Good on ya! You gotta have a quick eye for some of those stats.

Hey, there were 3! Proud to be a .5%-er.

Hey, tabletop84, I know where you can back up your argument and get all these punks off your back. Just reference the International Olympic Committee member Gian-Franco Kasper, who stated in a 2005 interview with NPR radio that women's ski jumping “seems to not be appropriate for the ladies from a medical point of view." But he really meant that for ALL women's sports. You know what he's actually talking about, though? It's our damn ovaries. They really get in the way of us doing things. Like, all the time. I mean, they're always traveling with us, no matter where they go. In the grocery store? Yep, totally not appropriate there. Walking down the street? Sooo not appropriate either. Gaaaaah, the horror! Could you imagine if we were given the "all clear" from mankind to ride bikes? The saddle would, like, punch through our ovaries and prevent us from having babies, thus slowly killing off the world's population. One tabletop at a time. Man, what a bummer.
