Connecticon 2013 FMV Contest - Deadline Passed

[BasharOfTheAges]

Hey everyone. I've taken over hosting Connecticon's FMV contest from Kiarrens this year so she can work on other things at the convention.

We've had some minor rules updates - tightening up format restrictions to what I normally use for AAC.

Here's a brief overview of important points, but read the rules for more information:

* The full rules can be found here: http://connecticon.org/video-contest/rules1/

* The deadline is June 12 15, 2013.

* This is an FMV contest - pretty much any footage that is acceptable for the contest rating (kinda sorta PG13, but with exceptions outside of my control) is acceptable for the contest.
- This has always been the case, but it seems the overwhelming majority of what we get every year is anime. If you have friends in any other vidding communities, let them know about us. We'd love to see more pony vids, more scifi, more fantasy, etc. and so on. More about sources can be found here: http://connecticon.org/video-contest/ac ... e-footage/

* The submission form isn't up now, and I'm not sure how long it'll be before it goes live (and I'm not going to assume it ever will). Anyone wanting to submit something can send an email to basharoftheages@animemusicvideos.org requesting FTP access. If you do this, please provide the following information:

Something seems to be up with my email forwarding, so I changed the contact email. Anyone who tried to use the old one will need to send their info again.

Deadline was retcon'd to June 12 while I wasn't looking.

Although there's still time and I wanted to go with one of the previous videos, I'll see if I can have something new

This contest has now been added to the Contest Calendar.

Great to hear.

[BasharOfTheAges]

Still plenty of time, but just reminding folks this is a thing. With an approaching deadline to boot.

Our entry web-form is finally up: http://connecticon.org/video-contest/enter/

[TritioAFB]

Wonderful. I got your 'Greek' amv for the Con

[BasharOfTheAges]

Since It just got mentioned on the twitters, I'm going to accept uploads until the 15th of June. The web-form might self destruct on the 13th, though, so make life easier and fill it out sooner rather than later.

I think its worth sending something to the contest. There are no country restrictions right??

There are plenty of restrictions. They mostly have to do with age-appropriateness of content. You'll need to clarify the question a bit better.

I mean, I can still enter even if I do not live in the US right? Cause I didn't read something like that in the rules and I wanted to be sure

I derped a bit on that question, sorry. No, there aren't any such restrictions.

[ProjectBarcodeError]

you should have something from me at the last week of the deadline.

[BasharOfTheAges]

Got a huge rush of entries in the last week or so, but there's plenty of room left for more, so get those entry forms in.
