Deadlines, deadline, deadlines, we all have them and most of us live by them. Today happened to be the deadline for the coolest fringing competition around with more than R14000.00 worth of prizes up for grabs. Today also happened to be the day the Blue Bulls won The Absa Currie Cup at Loftus. It’s not easy winning when you are up against a bunch of ‘Cheetahs’ but in the end the boys in Blue came off victorious and so to be fair to all the Cheetahs out there I have decided to extend the fringing deadline by 12days. Thats right fringsters you now have 12 more days to submit your entries.

We love seeing all the videos that fringsters around the world create about their experiences with fring. So we’ve collected a few from around the web and created a special location to view, vote, comment, share ideas, give feedback and of course contribute new clips.

It’s all happening here so come over, take a look have your say or add your own.

BTW: To recognize your filmmaking talents, we’re doing a small ‘fring Oscars’ with some cool prizes to win in two different categories: Best Rated Clip, which is based on “ratings” given by you, through youTube (beginning Nov. 17 2008) & fring’s “Unofficial” Committee’s Favorite (basically the one that we at fring think is the coolest)…
The lucky winners will get a brand-new shiny iPod touch!

So go ahead and mail your fring video/link to: video@fring.com and…may the best fringster win!
