"I recently moved to Napa, California to take a job at a vineyard. It is my dream to start my very own vineyard. This is a pricey dream to pursue, and I am hoping that this contest will help get me started. I'm not a cinematographer and may not have the fancy equipment other people entering this contest have, but I'm the only person willing to risk pneumonia to make my dreams a reality."

So what are you saving for? A dream vacation? College fund? Home improvements? We want to hear all about it! Be sure to tell us how saving with SmartyPig has helped you dream big, and turn those dreams into a reality. Here are some tips and ideas to get you started with your video:

• What current dreams are you saving for?
• How is saving with SmartyPig different?
• How has saving with SmartyPig taught you to save better?
• How have SmartyPig's social savings tools helped you spread the word about your saving goals?
• How has saving with SmartyPig changed your life?

We're giving one lucky, creative filmmaker $2,500 towards his or her SmartyPig goal, and five runners-up will receive $500 each towards their goals. All you need is a video recording device (Flip Cam, iPhone, webcam, etc.), a YouTube account, a great story and the ability to bring in the votes. The winner of the contest will be selected based on the number of views and five star ratings they get on their video submission as well as creativity and originality.
