I thought I should pop in to remind everyone that if you intend to enter the AnimeNEXT 2012 AMV Contest via online submission, please e-mail amv@animenext.org to request an FTP account by APRIL 29, as we cannot guarantee FTP accounts past that date. (This has always been stated in the rules file, but I realized it was not mentioned in my original post.)
Of course, your entries do not actually have to be uploaded until May 5.

Also of course, if you are submitting by post, the above does not apply to you, and you just need to get your entry postmarked by May 5.

I'm not too familiar with the FTP process, but is there a size limit? I don't plan on going over 2 GB but I'm not sure if this would be unreasonable...

No size limit, though if it looks like you're going to surpass 2 GB, you may want to split it into two separate files. The biggest we've received so far was 1.63 GB, and we could handle that with no problem.

Only one week left before the deadline as I type this. I promise this will be the last time I bump the thread before the deadline (though of course I will still post to answer questions, etc.).

In case anyone was wondering, here's how many videos we've received so far flagged with each of the categorization elements. Remember that each entry is flagged with two to four of these, so the total number of entries cannot be derived from these stats alone; I will however say that we do have enough entries to fill the contest block even if no one else enters at this point:

Action - 10
Artistic - 10
Character Profile - 9
Comedy - 5
Dance - 5
Drama - 17
Fun - 9
Horror - 1
Romance - 6
Segmented - 0
Sentimental - 4
Trailer/Parody - 3
Uplifting - 5

Keep in mind that the finalists will be selected without any regard to categorization, and there are varying degrees of overlap among the genres, so the genres with the most videos fitting them may not necessarily equate to the final categories.

I will be sending out e-mails at some point to: 1) those people who have requested FTP accounts but not sent in their entry forms, and 2) those people who have sent in their entry forms but have not uploaded the actual videos.

Drama of the positive variety -- inspirational, overcoming, life-affirming, what have you. "Defying Gravity" from 2010 is a good example. Or last year's "Son of Man". Or anything recced in this thread.

We currently have 78 videos, but...
  • One was not uploaded before the deadline (the editor originally gave me direct download links from the Org, then never replied to my e-mail giving him the FTP info)
  • One was uploaded on time but failed to meet minimum resolution and had what looked like encoding errors
  • One was DQed for gore (and one more may suffer the same fate -- I asked for a censored version but the editor never replied)
  • That total doesn't include any videos that may have come in yesterday, or that may arrive this week, via the post office -- I am expecting at least two more
