Please note that in Round 2, the only thing that will be displayed on the website is your video. You should not submit any sort of written description or copy to support your video entry as it will not be displayed with your video for voters to see. Voters will only be looking at the content of your video.

Your video will be featured among the other finalist videos for voting. All videos will be displayed in randomized order to make sure everyone has a fair chance. Votes will not be displayed publicly, so you will not know how many votes any video including yours has received until Round 2 of the contest ends.

It’s a slick and sought after product—one that can now be found at 4- and 5-star hotels across the U.S., in locations such as Florida, Hawaii, and California, and in such exotic locales as Aruba. Before the final launch, entrepreneurial sisters Kristen McClellan (founder and CEO) and Katelyn McClellan (COO) built several prototypes to refine the product and make the experience smooth and easy.
