The second round will last one week, during which the judges might ask to tweak some aspects of the videos to make them more suitable for Plasma. At the end of that week, the winning videos will be selected.
The two winning videos should belong to two different people. There will be only one winning video per category, but even if your work is not picked, your submission may still be used by KDE. The decision of the jury is final.
