The air is getting crisper, and one of our favorite holidays is fast approaching - Halloween. As always, we’ve been scaring up delightful video contests from across the Internet, so you have plenty of time left to make your entries (and make a cool costume). No tricks - all treats here!

Here are some of the highlights this week:

Biggest cash prize: $10,000 in Poptent’s ‘From Your First Car to Your Last’ Video Assignment. Make an ad for AutoTrader.com.

Best non-cash prize: A Canon T3i Digital Camera and a signed copy of Common’s album ‘The Dreamer, The Believer’ in the Common ‘Ghetto Dreams’ Music Video Contest. 

Best trip: No new trips this week!

OVC’s Pick of the Week: Overall, our favorite contest this week is the NYTVF Comedy Central Short Pilot Competition. The New York Television Festival and Comedy Central are giving you a shot at a TV development deal with Comedy Central, plus $7500. If you’re a comedy writer, this is a great opportunity to get your foot in the door!
