Hello all,
I just stumbled home and it's been a long weekend, but I wanted
to make sure I posted the AMV Contest results as soon as possible.
First of all, I want to thank everyone who participated, everyone
who watched the contest, and everyone who took the time to vote.
I will be posting a more detailed con report (since there was
so many different AMV related things going on). But right now,
I just want to finally get some sleep. Between running the 24
hour AMV Room, organizing the party, setting up the contest,
running two different AMV Panels (and helping to run one Robotech
panel), counting the contest ballots, etc. etc. Well, to put
it simply, I'm totally drained, mentally and physically.
I will also be contacting all of the winners who needed t-shirt
size changes or had to leave early. Just give me a couple of
days to do that.
I also want to send a thanks out to Jared, Ken, and Tom who helped
judge the contest with me. Each judge presented one award and
we had an audience vote for each category.
On Saturday, we screened the contest, the playlist going like
