Welcome to August

In my family, we have a little monthly tradition that involves pinching and punching everyone near and dear to you, while shouting "pinch, punch, first of the month!" It's something that I enjoy, because I usually remember and get everyone before they can get me. It's something that my husband hates... I guess he doesn't think it's a nice way to wake up in the morning.

Well, if you're interested in some monthly contests that don't involve abusing your loved ones, check out the online video contests with August deadlines. There are contests for silly babies, ketchup lovers, wacky weddings, stand up comedians, bicycle enthusiasts and more. Your video skills and creativity could win you money, prizes and a shot at fame!
