Did you win it?
UDR has finally issued a statement regarding the video contest and its early suspension today. Heres what they had to say:
"To All Video Contest Finalists, Participants, Voters and UDR.com visitors,
As you know, UDR recently sponsored the "Movin' On Up" Video Contest. We were very excited about all of the entries we received, and particularly excited about the ten Contest finalists' videos.
Unfortunately, during the course of the Contest voting period, we experienced serious technical difficulties with the voting system. Upon learning of these difficulties we elected, as authorized by the Official Rules, to suspend all voting for the Contest temporarily in order to help maintain the integrity and fairness of the Contest for all participants. And when we took a closer look, we discovered that one or more unidentified individuals had attempted to interfere with the voting process and manipulate the results of the Contest.
After careful consideration, we have decided - again, in the interest of maintaining the integrity and fairness of the Contest - to terminate the Contest and to award a $1,000 prize to each of the ten Contest finalists, in recognition of their achievements and hard work.
We thank you all for your interest in UDR and our Movin' On Up Video Contest."
Although it didn't turn out the way we expected, I'f like to thank all those who voted for Kookie. We appreciate it very much!
