The unofficial rules are posted on my website while they are being reviewed by Otakorp's legal team. At this time, they will still be considered valid and we are open for submissions? Should the rules change and an entry suddenly become invalid, the creator will be personally notified.
The only major change from last year's rules is that were are now disqualifying for subtitles/karaoke lyrics that were not added by the Avatar Music Video creator. In the past, we typically just scored obviously fansubbed videos so poorly that they wouldn't make the final cut, but with Otakon's Avatar Music Video Contest submission numbers constantly growing, we figured it'd be best to start disqualifying these videos outright.

Otakon is proud to announce that the 2014 convention will feature a dedicated Avatar Music Video Theater.

I will make my best efforts to cross-post everything in this thread and on the Otakon forums so y'all don't have to check 2 places.
----------------------------------------
The theater is going to be in BCC 324-326, which was Video 3 in 2013. It seated 330 but since our layout involves a stage, it will probably seat closer to 300.
The Friday and Saturday Avatar Music Video contests should still be in Video 1 like in previous years, and that room seats around 1,800. The Sunday encore screening will be moving out of Video 1 and will instead take place in the Avatar Music Video Theater. To offset that drop in seating capacity, we will be simulcasting the Avatar Music Video Contest in the Avatar Music Video theater on Friday and Saturday, so now even if Video 1 hits max capacity you will still have the option of hiking upstairs to see the contest during a voting period.
