April Homepage Opportunities

First off, we wanted to say thank you to everyone who's been tagging their videos thus far as part of this effort. It's been helpful in our quest to promote videos for some of the events and holidays on our calendar. Take the Oscars, for instance. Due to your proactive efforts, we were able to easily source and Tweet timely videos from UltraKawaii, NYTimes and Current, all of whom used our unique tags to help us find their videos for these features.

Here are the upcoming opportunities for this month for our Spotlight Videos module (if you don't see it on your homepage, add it here!) and @youtube Twitter love. Spotlights run a few times per week and showcase interesting and timely videos from our community and partners, all organized around an event or theme. Tag any appropriate and relevant video with the tags below to be considered for these spotlights. Please note that themes and dates are subject to change and spotlights may be added or dropped without notice.

4/4 - Easter: we're looking for any and all intriguing content related to the holiday (tag: yteaster)
4/22 - Earth Day 40th anniversary: we've got a theme for the spotlight already, but will be looking for videos to Tweet (tag: ytearthday)

If you're interested in being a curator or have ideas for a theme we haven't mentioned, please email mia@youtube.com. Thanks!
