It’s that simple! Whether about your day at school, stupid human body tricks, why ninjas are better than Barbie, or whether or not Star Wars ever happened, all you have to do is include the CHIC logo in your video. Then, post your video on YouTube and send us the link. We’ll include it in the entry list above and the video with the most hits by the first night of CHIC is the winner.
