More and more video is available on the web than ever before. From short films and spoofs to animation and weird pet tricks, people are using the Internet to enjoy and share original video content that, often times, reaches cult status. For the first time, a nation-wide contest, hosted by Yahoo! Video search and sponsored by Casio, will recognize the best original videos. It's called the Yammy Awards and pop culture icon Kelly Monaco, recent winner of Dancing With The Stars and cast member of General Hospital is one of the judges. "This Internet video content is really a new art form and with the growth of broadband, it's being enjoyed by millions of people every day. The Yahoo! Yammy Awards represents the first time that the most entertaining videos on the web will be recognized. It's such a grass roots craze and it results in some of the funniest and most compelling video that I've ever seen, I can't wait to see the submissions!" To submit entries or vote for your favorite videos, go to yahoo.com and search for the Yammys. That's spelled y-a-m-m-y-s.
