As pointed out on the official TF2 blog: "You're only limited... by your imagination. Also by length, because if you think we're sitting through hundreds of hours-long submissions, guess again, Scorsese." Basically, they want you to keep your creations less than one minute and record them in at least 720p.
You'll have to submit your entry on YouTube by May 18th. So get started all of you Tf2 players and if you don't own the game, you can get it off steam for a price of 9.99$ here.
