What is it?

UpperDeckUltimateFan.com is looking for the ultimate hockey fan and it could be you! Fans can submit a video or a photo showing how fanatical they are about their favorite NHL team and we’ll be happy to post it to the website. The best entry, as judged by Upper Deck staffers, will win a trip for two to the 2011 NHLPA Rookie Showcase!

What is the NHL Rookie Showcase?

The 2011 NHLPA Rookie Showcase in Toronto, scheduled for Tuesday, August 30, is the first opportunity the NHL trading card manufacturers get to photograph and videotape the newest rookie recruits in their NHL uniforms. The contest winner and a guest will be provided round-trip airfare, one-night hotel accommodations and two all-access passes to the day’s event where they will be able to see some of the newest top talent entering the NHL!

How do I submit a picture or video?

Click here to visit the entry page. The most important thing is to link us to your video or picture. This means you’ll need to find a place to host it.

How or where do I host my entry?

You’ll probably want to use Flickr or YouTube. Click on the links to sign up and register if you don’t have an account. Once you’ve uploaded your picture or video, simply send us the link on the entry page (along with your contact info), and you’ll be set.

I don’t want you guys to show my video, or use my likeness anywhere.

All media submitted to us can be used by Upper Deck for promotional purposes, including your likeness. Please do not submit an entry if you do not wish to give us permission to use your contest submission or likeness.

Can I submit more than one entry?

Yes, but the number of submissions you enter will not influence the Upper Deck judges. Simply make your best entry and submit it.

What’s the difference between Crazy Fans and Official Entries?

The Crazy Fans section shows off some of hockey’s most passionate fans, but are not actual entries into the contest. All of the approved videos and photos that fans submit to us for consideration will be archived in the Official Entries area.

What if I shoot my video with some friends?

One entry per video please.
