Project/Product Description

The Solution will provide a voting platform for all kinds of contests. Contests can be of different kind, and many contests can be running in parallel. One important aspect of the VS is that the functionality to perform a contest will be offered to third parties. Such a display of one or more contests, possibly integrated into another website, is called launchpad.

The VS will support three different types of users:

• Webmasters: who use the contest/voting platform provided (on the different integration levels described above)
• Contestants: who upload their content to the platform and participate in contests
• Visitors: who will vote on the platform and enjoy the content, but who are not actively creating content

Users can upload (via PC, Email and webcam) the types of content that is allowed for the specific contest. He/She can choose tags for the uploaded media, and add a description.

The system supports a flash capture component to allow the user to upload video directly from his/her webcam.

The system is prepared to import common mobile-phone video codecs.
