Otafest 2011 - AMV Contest!

Hi folks! It's that time of year again!

I'm the AMV Contest Coordinator for Otafest, the annual con held in Calgary, AB, Canada. Otafest 2011 will be held on May 20-22, 2011 at the University of Calgary!

This is Otafest's 13th year and our 8th contest! We've had fantastic turnouts for the AMV contest over the last few years, and we're trying to replicate that again this year with your help! Currently, we are looking for any AMVs made after May 2010.

Rules have recently been posted and can be found at:

*sheepishly pokes head into the forums, pushing index fingers together nervously*

Hi guys,

My profuse and absolute apologies for the total silence on my part here - I know a few of you have submitted videos, and have been waiting for a confirmation. Real life has been sort of overwhelming (nothing bad! Just lots of stuff going on at the same time) and I've been totally behind the ball for Otafest's AMV contest, but I think I've caught up on everything now and everyone who's submitted should have gotten a confirmation reply for me now!

There's still 1 month to get your entries in, and I look forward to them - especially from you folks who've supported our contest for so many years now! *grin!*

Cheers,

Jenny Chan
