This website was created to promote the Commonwealth Video Contest - an international talent competition to showcase the diversity and culture of the people of the Commonwealth. Users are invited to sumit videos to youTube about their lives.

At the top of the page is an interactive Flash map where users can see the videos that have been submitted. This uses XML to populate the map (making it easy for the client to change/add/remove videos) and it also uses the Flash youTube API for AS3 to play the videos directly from youTube.
