Uhoh. Looks like I now have to make TWO con trips to SoCal next month.

Nuh uh. Not tellin'.
However, the judges aren't always perfect either. One video in a prior year got in by the most ridiculously slimmest of slim margins (if I remember correctly, it barely made the cutoff when three vids above it ended up DQ'd or recategorized, plus there was like a 0.001 point difference between it and the next vid)... ...and it did extremely well.

To make the voting process practical you dispense with the paper ballots and hand out iClickers so all of the votes are immediately tallied. The SPJA won't mind the expense of buying ~$150,000 worth of iClickers when you point out the enormous increase in 4-day pass sales that will inevitably result from this AMV show of unprecedented scale!
That concludes the introductory summary of my AMV contest proposal, now if you'll all turn to page 2 of the handout I'll start up the powerpoint presentation...

Granted my tastes seem to differ from what seems to be the majority of the audience now a days.
Fixed. Often enough there have been instances in contests where the AMV I voted for didn't win, or it will end up getting runner-up. But then I wonder if I look for certain things as an editor that the audience doesn't. My Best in Show choices are usually spot on though, so I guess it's not a total disconnect.

Actually with the videos I like vs most I have seen in the last 5 years, I wish to let my statement stand
