I guess I'll just submit multiple versions so there's more to work with.

I already submitted a video that was pre-letter boxed. Is it okay if I just upload the widescreen version to the ftp server?

Yes by all means please do so. I will also be personally e-mailing everyone who has submitted pre-letterboxed so far, informing them of this change, to see if they have a non-letterboxed version available.

Nice of them to let you know so late.

If mike lee's behind this, I'd have assumed everything was now in HD as well.

It's a fantastic change for the rest of the video rooms. From what I understand, they will all be blu-ray ready now (albeit most video rooms will still have a 4:3 screen). It ONLY sucks for us and for Fan Parodies because a lot of us are so conditioned to sending in letterboxed content, it's become part of our workflow. I'm all for the changeover, I just wish they let me know 5 months ago when the rules went up for review, or put it off until 2013. I actually have to encode everything TWICE because the winners will be played in a different room (during Iron Editor) on a 4:3 screen since this isn't a GLOBAL change.

Deadline: Your submission must have finished uploading by 1:00 AM EST, Monday June 11, 2012. Entries received late will not be accepted into the Otakon 2012 AMV contest, nor will they be considered candidates for the AMV overflow screenings.
