Considering that anyone can make a video and put it on You Tube (unless it was illegal or something that You Tube had to remove as it was against their policy), then I think it would be a great idea if everyone tried to make a video (if they can) and post it to You Tube to promote Linux in general or just Ubuntu, and then post the link to your video here on the Ubuntu UK list and elsewhere.
I think that kind of video making to promote Linux will go further than just picking one winner in a competition. Besides, I have no desire to visit Japan.
