Merry Christmas everyone!

And while you party with your friends, do take the time to record your holiday revelry ‘cause that might just win you BlackBerry 7 smartphones for your barkada of 4.

Just upload your vid with up to three of your friends – so that’s maximum of 4 people in the video, you and 3 of your friends – showing off your holiday experience to the BlackBerry Piipinas Facebook page, and that’s it! You’re done with step 1. No time limit is required, but it shouldn’t exceed 10MB in size.

You’ve got up until January 6 to upload your video.

Got one already? Upload it here.

Step 2 begins on January 7. Vote for your vid and invite your friends to do the same. We’re not sure if gaining the most number of votes is the only way you can win the free BlackBerry, but it sure sound like an important criteria. So treat is as such. Voting ends almost a week after, January 13 to be exact.

For complete mechanics, and some inspiration on how to make your vid, check out the full press release below:
