In July Yahoo! is running a homemade video competition to celebrate the event. They arranged for students from leading film schools to create video shorts, based on a series of scripts about Yahoo! changing. Anyone who wants to participate can make their own videos - using the Yahoo logo. You can submit their videos to a “New Yahoo! Campaign“. The best of these videos will be run in ads across the web.

Yahoo commented on the new homepage claiming it is “the most significant re-design of its flagship destination since the site first launched in 1994″. Yahoo is the biggest Web property having 500 000 000 users worldwide.
