It might of been a bad idea to have entered two amvs into the same category. :uhoh: WAIT A MIN .....we could have entered 2 vids in the same category???........darn it I know we have an awful lot of rules, but nothing against that. :P Also, we don't decide the categories until after deciding the fi...

With the prescreening behind us and the scores tabulated, here are this year's categories and contest finalists! Creators are listed in alphabetical order within each category, not necessarily the final play order of the contest screenings. ROMANCE/SENTIMENTAL Enrique Rodriguez MadMegatax Mystical F...

To the three people so far who have listed their videos in the Org's database as participating in the contest: Checking the participation box DOES NOT actually enter you into the contest. (This goes for all contests, not just AnimeNEXT.) You need to read the rules and fill in the entry form if you w...

It looks like the instructions are at:

Files for competition should be AVI, MPG, WMV or MP4 format and compressed using DivX or xVid video compression and MP3 audio compression. The second half of that sentence is fundamentally incompatible with the first -- XviD/MP3 works fine for AVI files, sure, but it's impossible in MPEGs and WMVs ...

ONE WEEK REMAINING until the entry deadline! This is the last reminder I will post, I promise. Also, today is the LAST DAY to get a guaranteed FTP account! If you intend to send us videos via FTP and have not requested an account yet, better let us know soon. I have just sent out e-mails soon to th...

You're going to Paris?!?

This is your just under THREE WEEKS reminder for this contest! Though we do have our first international entry, it's still anyone's game. We received one entry from ZIP code 10956, sent by post, that consisted of an entry form but no disk containing the actual videos. If you're reading this, I tried...

Yeah, you're thinking of AnimeNEXT -- I know because I specifically asked Vic for the exemption.
Of course, with the deadline this year being one week later, it would no longer have applied anyway.

Each contest has its own rules regarding how to enter (and some don't even take entries via upload, though it's becoming less common). Find the specific forum thread for the contest you're interested in entering -- or if you know the convention's website, that's also usually a good place to look. No...

Whew! Had a heck of a time with this! Does a website that hosts literally terrabytes of video need to limit avatars on the forum to 16kb? I took an avatar I am using literally everywhere else, resized it to 100x100, and saved it as a jpeg at the lowest possible quality and it was 32kb. After readin...

IMPORTANT: FILE SIZE MUST BE LESS THAN 100 MB 1. File type requirements: Avi ( Uncompressed ), mpeg2, mp4, wmv Considering that one's video would have to be ridiculously short, ridiculously low-resolution, or both to have a chance of getting it under 100 MB in uncompressed format, you might want to...

But now how will we fill the void left by the loss of the annual ritual of wondering just what the "Pro" category is for?

I actually have only question: what are the guidelines for frame rate?

Did the coordinator mark it in the calendar as closed to new entries? That would explain it.

( Edit, 5/6/13: Finalists announced here! ) Yes, we're back! Cyanna, Jefferson, and I had such a blast running last year's AnimeNEXT AMV Contest that we're doing it again in 2013. Being the largest independently-run anime convention in the New Jersey/New York metro area, AnimeNEXT is returning to th...
