Overview

What's the coolest and most interesting thing you can explain in a video of 30 seconds or less? We want to know -- and to find out Instructables is teaming up with Forbes for the Teach Me Fast Contest!

To enter you need to submit a 30-second video here on Instructables that explains how to do something neat. Your project can be practical or fun, just keep it short and sweet! There's space to write up a bit of background - why you chose to demo this specific project, idea, or skill - as well as for any links you may want to include, so your video can be all about the action.

Check out the latest developments in web video according to Forbes reporters here. Then share with the world your best stuff.

To show your video was made for this contest, you need to start with a 2-second shot of the contest image! You can either print it out here and hold it up to the camera or add in this image here with video-editing software.

Here's an example:

Upload your video to your favorite hosting service (YouTube, Blip, Metacafe, etc) and embed it here then write up a brief bit of background and explanation, including any links you may need.
International entries are OK.
Multiple entries to the contest are allowed, but each entrant can only win one prize.
