  Dear employer,
  I wish to inform you that the very first entry started getting phony views at cheap rates - I am talking about \"luisportas\".
  First he entered his video in your contest and cleverly said he is testing quality although you said to add it on youtube.He did this so you can not delete contest,because if there are 0 entries in guaranteed contest then you can delete it,but if it has 1 or more entries then guaranteed contest can\'t be deleted although non guaranteed can be.
  Then he added his video to youtube.I saw his video daily,and till 4 days he got 17 views.Then I saw suddenly on 5th day it increased to 1200+ views , i was confused and didn\'t understood what happend.Then today I saw comment of freelancer from whom he bought views so I came to know what is happening..
  
  Kindly see this link of project : https://www.freelancer.com/projects/Custom-Project-Mar.4348723.html
  And this is link to his video on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEdb1iihUeE&feature=youtu.be&a

     The contestant you refer to had his entry withdrawn because he did not submit his entry in conformance with the posted rules.

  In first link he is buying phony views at cheap rates.I also wanted to participate in this contest and was working on music video.But after seeing such fraudlent things happening in contest,I dont want to participate now and will stop working on my video.Luisportas is doing malpractices to win the contest and I am 100% sure he will win this contest.He is paying 0.50$ for 1000 views.So for 50$ only he can buy 100k views and still get 450$ profit from prize money.It is not possible for me to get more then 100k natural views.And if he spends like 100$ on fake views then he gets 200k fake views and grabs the prize with profit of 400$ .
  
  Also you can see comment below from \"Maddy9716\" to whom he hired for phony views.It clearly states that what how luisportas is using cheap tactics to win.
  
  So congratulations LUISPORTAS on winning the prize of 500$.
  In 1 day you got 1k phony views.Till 30 april you will get millions of phony views,so obviously prize is yours dear :) ...

  What luisportas did is obviously wrong thing to steal away prize money..But now neither contest holder nor participants can do anything,all are helpless.
  Still all other participants can participate in the contest to try your luck against the luisportas\'s clever mind.
  But I wont be participating as i completed 50% video only.I dont want to waste my efforts in other 50%.
  Also dear contest holder , please delete my comment after reading.As I dont want to pollute this contest by mention cheaters name like luisportas.So contest holder at top right side of my comment,please click on \"No\" then option will come to delete my comment.So please do it.This comment was only to tell you that I am not participating anymore and also what luisportas cheater is doing to take away your 500$ which is meant for REAL AND TRUE participant who did some efforts not those like luisportas who bought stock images and stock videos from web and combined and made video.Thank you ,now delete my comment please.

  Sounds good. So no other requirements to the 4 min video?
  Only that it can't use images of Daniel Jay Paul, and that it must be uploaded no later than the 31st of March?
  How about the video title? Any requirements?

     Video title would be the same as the song.

  Your awarding system is flawed, to say the least...
  
  One can upload just a \"single photo\" video with the song and rack up the phony views, or if contestants aren\'t able to check YouTube links for each submission, you can award the prize to your friend...
  
  First time I see this type of requirement - care to explain?

     We could award the prize to a \"friend\" under any system. I doubt that you could rack up enough phony views to win the contest against legitimate entrants.

  HI, Can u please briefly explain and eleborate this statement "The video producer is asked to interpret the song without use of images of the recording artist." ??

     Many music videos are of the performer singing the song. This will not be one of them. Images used will somehow interpret the song not the singer.
