Know any video contest?

We �ve been having a video contest at school for 3 years. Some of them are so great I was wondering if there �s another sort of competition to tell them to participate. If you happen to know about it... Thanks!

Sophia has presented us a site with a clear explanation.

"Very often, unless can be used instead of if not. Come tomorrow if I don �t phone/ unless I phone. He �ll accept the job if the salary �s not too low/ unless the salary �s too low.

However, there are some cases where unless is impossible.

A will happen it is not stopped by B, but unless cannot be used in sentences that say A will result from B not happening. Typical mistake: I �ll be surprised unless he has an accident. The correct answer is I �ll be surprised if he doen �t have an accident. I �ll be quiet glad if she doesn �t come this evening (Unless is impossible)" (Swam, 1986: 610).

I �m referring to the first conditional but it can be applied to the second one, too, as the example shown by our schoolmate.
