So? This year's contest info would be....?

Post by SummerOtaku »

Just curious if the rules are somewhere on the site. I can't seem to find them. At least a deadline would be useful?

Please and thanks!

We're still working on the rules and some formatting things, so they are not currently on the site. They should be up in the next few weeks.

Thanks for your patience.

Can't agree with this more. Dear God, I have been working well on my AMV for a bit now, and haven't touched it since about December 17th. Sucks too. Loving it so far.

I need to re-work the page's content to flow better and be easier to read. That and Adam got me the last info just the other week, so it's taken a backseat in my queue.

While I can't say just yet when the deadline is, you'd be a fool not to start soon ;)

Oh, the videos are started. We just need to know when it's mandatory to turn procrastination mode off. ;)

I'll have something better for everyone. And another entry if I can find the time and energy to do it. Been getting abducted onto staffing too many cons myself lately.

In past years, the rule has been "less than one year old" and whether it was on YT or sent to other contests first didn't matter, and each editor was allowed to enter up to two videos.

But as you mentioned, the rules for this year haven't gone up yet, so we don't know for sure about this year yet.

Update: The Contest info is being reviewed and copy-edited right now. As it hadn't had a thorough going-over in a few years, it had started becoming kludgey. At least compared to the recently cleaned content on the rest of the site. This should not be changing any of the previous rules; only making it simpler to read and understand.

I'm looking at the AMV Contest content to be posted by next Monday, 2/11 most likely (if not sooner, but I'll be AFK on vacation). In the interest of just getting it out there, the Due Date for the contest has been decided as Monday, April 1st. No, this is not a joke.

AMV Upload form will be opened either with the content posting, or within a few days after.

Yow, that's early compared to the con date. Time to really get cracking, it appears.
