Hmm… are staff members ineligible?
I would say no, since he said even existing partners can enter if I recall correctly.
So, I would say it is up to how you feel about it… do you think being a staff member gives you an unfair advantage. I personally don’t, because it is not like you can make a video with something that ArenaNet hasn’t officially talked about yet (since I would think that would get you in trouble).
Edit: I mean, if a concept artist for ArenaNet would enter with a video containing their concept art for the game that might be bit of a grey area, but even then so long as it doesn’t contain pieces they made for work I think it should be fine. Just my opinion though.
You could always ask the man himself, I would think you can get hold of WP easily enough considering he is a partner and all.
