That's not really true, I actually spent about two weeks on my video from pre-production, to recording an original audio track, to filming and post-production and at least 3+ all day editing days and mine made it in. As im sure everyone else who submitted a video and whether they made it or not everybody is at a different skill level and what may take you or I an hour to shoot and edit might take someone else a couple days. I'm not sure what goes into the sifting for the top entry's, but the ones that were picked were probably picked for multiple reasons. I my self think I create great high quality content and have submitted many times to VOTM and have not made the top entry's countless times. Was I disappointed? Ya i would say I was, but I was a team player and supporter to those who did make it. Don't let not making it discourage you, instead take it as an opportunity to brace it and motivate you to work on a new video and re-submit next month and chances are you might make it.
