Qua?
This is weird. Are you sure you indicated in your entry that you were aiming at the _PRO_ entry? Last year we had one guy who didn't indicate one way or another, and we put them in Expo as a default, especially if they forget to include the disclaimer form.
I can't see your vid right now (at work) but I can tell you with no doubt that we didn't disqualify on basis of subject matter or content. We'd only disqualify due to insurmountable tech problems (ie, we can't get the tape to play) and I didn't hear anything about this one way or another. I will speak to Patrick about it immediately, as it may just be a stupid slip-up on our end.
Assuming that is the case, what do you want to do? It is probably too late for it to participate in pro, what with the tapes having been sent out and all, and this kinda botching the "blind judging" and all. We can place it in Expo easily enough if you're willing to do that, or we can have it withdrawn alltogether.
If it's any consolation, you're in good company. My last video was nearly dropped from the contest three years ago because my tape got stuffed in a corner and forgotten about until the last minute.
