SuperNote FAQ



As we hear questions from SuperNoters, we’ll collect and answer them here. Please contact us with any questions not answered here.

Can I submit multiple videos to compete for the most creative SuperNote? No. You get ONE entry into the contest, whether you’re going for length, creativity, or both.

I’ve seen some people submit multiple videos using multiple accounts. Is that legal? No, ONE entry per person.

Does my SuperNote have to stay in tune? No. If your note fluctuates or changes pitch, that’s fine. As long as you are continuing to make a vocal note (your vocal cords are vibrating, your exhaling, and you’re making a sound), you’re still SuperNoting.

Can I hum my SuperNote? Yes, if you want to. It’s questionable if this will help you do a longer note. But a hum is still a vocal note (as defined in the first answer).

Can multiple people do Supernotes in one video? Sure, but only the longest one counts. For instance, in the Rhett&Link SuperNote video, only Rhett’s note counts.

Can I get friends and family members to do SuperNotes? Sure, but they’ll have to create their own Youtube channel. The system that we’ve set up to collect the SuperNote videos only accepts the first SuperNote video from any given Youtube channel. So, if you’re grandma wants to go for it, she needs to create her own channel.

I have more than one Youtube channel. Can I submit a video from each one?No. One entry per person.

I don’t have a camera. Can I just submit audio? No. It would be too easy to cheat doing just audio, and we need a video submitted in order for your SuperNote to be properly processed in our system.

Isn’t it going to be easy for people to cheat? I mean, it wouldn’t be hard to create a convincing video with some clever editing. Yes, it might be easy for people to cheat, but we have some ways that we are going to verify the authenticity of entries. But we can’t reveal that now. Just make your real note and let us worry about the cheaters.

You said no editing. Does that mean no editing at all? No, you can have editing in your video, but you can’t edit on your supernote. The moment where you make your SuperNote in your video can’t have any cuts or cutaways. But if you wanted to edit in some other stuff throughout your video, go for it.

Does my SuperNote have to be a vocal note, because I’d like to use an instrument. Yes. It HAS to be a vocal note. No instruments.

Can I talk without breathing instead of making a note? No. That’s not a SuperNote. If the experiment was called SuperSentence, it would count. We will only count the longest single note in each sentence.

I’m not happy with my first video that I submitted. Can I delete it and try again? No. Even if you do, only your first video will be counted. The system is setup so that it only accepts one entry per person.

Can I make multiple SuperNotes in one video? Sure, but only your first one counts, so don’t waste your breath.
