The form clearly states 'We prefer you upload your videos to YouTube, but
will accept submissions on other platforms (such as Google Drive) should
YouTube not be available in your region.', we're happy to receive videos in
other formats if some groups would like to do that, they can get in touch
with us to confirm the approach they'd like to take. Similarly, if people
want to record a video in another language we can do our best to find a
translator who would be able to add subtitles on the video in English.

We decided last week to extend the application period to allow more time
for groups to prepare their videos. This is reflected on the online form,
blog, and HOT Twitter.

Thanks,

Rebecca
