TCM ULTIMATE FAN VIDEOS OF SELECTED GUEST PROGRAMMERS
TCM’s 20th Anniversary Guest Programmers…
TCM’s Ultimate Fan Video Contest was definitely a success this year with more than 300 entries from all over the United States. The 90 seconds (or less) videos had to follow the strict rules discussed on the contest website, and entrants had from October 1st to October 31st to create their own Ultimate Fan Videos. Some videos of winning programmers no longer have valid links in the TCM Ultimate Fan Video Gallery, but some are still accessible, and have been included here:
Steve Hayes, from New York, N.Y., entered his fan video supporting Kings’ Row, but he is co-hosting a different film on Monday, April 7, at 1:30 a.m. It’s 1954’s Them! : http://fancontest.tcm.com/Entries/view/177/sort:entry_vote_count/direction:dir

Comments on the contest announcement page discussed the contest entrants and Tiffany’s award-winning video: “Judges were impressed with Tiffany’s content, staging and creative use of effects, which resulted in the video looking like the movie she discussed. As the grand prize winner, Tiffany will have the opportunity to co-host a film on air with TCM host Robert Osborne, as well as introduce a film at the TCM Classic Film Festival in April 2014. The response to this contest was tremendous, and the panel of judges was thrilled to see the passion and creativity of TCM fans. Thanks to everyone who participated, and congratulations to Tiffany!”
Tiffany receives an all-expense paid trip to the Turner Classic Film Festival 2014 for her efforts. Congratulatons!
