Poptent is a crowdsourced video service that connects companies in need of affordable video to filmmakers and directors. It's a bit like an auction of sorts, with brands posting creative briefs and videographers completing the job and competing to win the official gig.

It seems to be online video contest week as I’ve got two assignments about online video contest platfoms and now Vimeo is launching a contest . The new partnership between Current TV and Vimeo is looking for some crowdsource action to kick off a series of documentaries.
