MAKE IT OFFICIAL - Get to know and love the Official Rules

LET US SEE IT ALL - Give us a tour of the whole home. Every room. The whole ugly truth. We want to see the mess in your bathrooms and closets as well as living room, kitchen, bedroom, garage*, and everywhere else. Don't be shy.

SHOW YOURSELF OFF - Be Creative. Give us an ongoing commentary of what all this clutter is, how it came to be there, and how all this mess is affecting everyone's lives. Have fun with it, keep it real, and don't add in any branded products, music, television, video or other content prohibited by the Official Rules. It should be your original creation only.

INTRODUCE US TO THE FAMILY - We'll want to see everybody who lives in the household, but no one represented under contract or who is a member of a talent union or guild may appear. Make sure you've got everyone's consent to be in the video -- and be sure to brush the hair out of their eyes so we can see all their pretty faces.

KEEP IT CLEAN (The video — not the house) - A messy home is no excuse for filthy talk. So please refrain from offensive language in your submission, and while you're at it, make sure everyone has their clothes on too!

KEEP IT BRIEF - You've got five minutes, but no shorter than 60 seconds! If your video is longer than that, any footage after that 5:00 mark will be excluded from judging, so make sure you plan it out.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT FORMAT - It can be the best video in the world but if it's not in one of the following formats, we won't be able to accept it.

• Mail-in entries will be accepted in VHS, MiniDV, CD, or DVD only.
• Online entries can't be more than 100Mb is size and only .mov, .asf, .wmv, .avi, .mpeg, .mpg or .mp4 files can be uploaded.

GET BUSY! - Round everyone up, make that video and prove to us that you have the Messiest Home in the Country! If you have what it takes, Niecy and her crew might be coming soon to make your dreams come true.
