Share Your Disability Videos

Webbytalents.com Lets Disabled Create, Connect, and Build Community

Dec 24, 2008 Andrew Leibs

Quebec-based Webbytalents is the first video-sharing site designed by and for the disabled, providing opportunities for artistic expression and professional growth.

Launched in February 2008, Webbytalents is an online community designed to unite persons with disabilities through the posting, sharing, and discussion of personal videos. Any persons, organizations, or filmmakers are invited to submit videos.

Webbytalents is an entertainment distributor that encourages the discovery and development of talent and seeks to establish contact between amateur and professional video artists and the general public. It’s a space for exchange, enabling registered users to:

  • Watch videos
  • Share videos with family, friends, or worldwide
  • Publish videos on personal blogs and websites
  • Post videos on social networking sites
  • Discover new videos and meet fascinating people
  • Receive feedback from Webbytalent’s online community.

The site provides a complete set of features that allow users to highlight their universe, works, and tastes. The interactive services (chat, forum, blog, email, search engine) promote discussion between people with similar affinities.

Webbytalents is a host, not a publisher; it doesn’t censor videos that people upload, but is obligated to remove videos that violate copyright laws.

Once registered, a user can post or record videos and write online reviews. Posted videos are organized by category, keyword, and group. Registered users can create new groups. The site is also searchable by tags and keywords.

Enter the Webbytalents Contest

Amateur artists, musicians, and video-filmmakers can submit entries for Webby Talents’ Prize, a discovery competition open to all unsigned artists seeking to promote their talents. Professional artists under contract are not eligible. To enter, simply:

  • Register your video or demo at the Concours Webbytalents by checking the box “Add to the Webby Talent contest”
  • Upload your video or demo to submit it to the community where members will vote for it by adding it to their top videos
  • A jury of professionals from music, film, and stage will choose the winner from among the top 100 videos.

The winner will receive a featured editorial on the Webby Talents site, and the support of our partners in the cultural press and media.

Webbytalents will award one prize each season.

Watch the Webbytalents website for further details on the competition.
