January Homepage Opportunities

You might notice a periodic module on the homepage called Spotlight Videos (if you don't, add it to your homepage). These run a few times per week and showcase interesting and timely videos from our community and partners, all organized around an event or theme.

In 2010, we'll be using this blog to give you advanced notice of opportunities to be a part of these spotlights. At the top of each month, we'll reveal a list of themes, along with an exclusive tag you should place on any video you'd like to be considered for the spotlight. (Please note that themes and dates are subject to change and spotlights may be added or dropped without notice.) We can't promise your video will be part of the feature, but if it is we'll let you know via email and we hope you will join us in promoting its prominent position via any social media or marketing tools you regularly use to connect with your viewers, customers and fans.

With that, we'd like to share the list of some themes for January 2010:

1/1 -- Rejuvenation: tips for staying healthy & keeping those resolutions (tag: ytrejuvenation)
1/5 -- Phone music: videos of original tunes made on mobile phones (tag: ytphonemusic)
1/25 -- Video Volunteers: use your video-making skills for good. Submit a video for a charity supporting the arts (tag: ytvv)
1/27 -- Davos: Is there one issue facing the world today that you feel passionate about? Have you always wanted to take your cause directly to people who have the power to do something about it, but lacked access to have your voice heard? Now is your chance to make your pitch. Click here for more details. (tag: ytdavos)

Got an idea for a theme we haven't mentioned above? Leave a comment below and we'll consider adding it to our calendar.

Thanks!
