The rules for the contest are as follows:
Anime Music Video (AMV) Contest Rules
The AMV Contest is open to both convention attendees and the general public. Contestants must mail their AMV on a VHS (recorded in SP please) or CD-R (see rules below) to the
address listed below by March 23, 2004.
Please use this <a href="http://www.bakuretsucon.org/events/contests/amvform.html">AMV registration form</a>
Please submit all entries to:
Bakuretsu Con
PO Box 44
Vergennes, VT 05491
Rules for all entries:
Limit one entry per person, group, or studio.
Music video must use anime footage, we will allow some mixing of other types of footage. But 80% of the content must be anime.
Running time is to be no longer than 6 minutes.
You may use any kind of music you like, but keep it clean. If it would not air on the radio because of content then you shouldn't use it. Remember there might be children in the audience, or others that might be offended. Also make sure to state the title of the music and the artist that recorded it.
We will accept all content, but please be aware that any graphic or sexual content will not be publicly displayed. Artwork which includes mature content will be judged privately by members of our staff whom are over the age of 18.
DO NOT send us your original! Make a copy of your original and send us that.
Please label your tape with your name, address, phone number, and title of your video.
Use the face label of on VHS tapes not the spine label. For CD-RS please write this information on the face of the disc its self rather than using a label.
Also indicate if it is a DVD, VCD, or CD-R. A Sharpie fine point works really well on a disc.
To avoid cutting off some of your video when we re-record it make sure to leave about 15 seconds of blank tape at each end of the video.
For VHS please record it in SP format for optimal quality.
For CD-R please use a standard format that can be played on a windows based operation system. (Not for Mac please) If you would like confirmation we received your tape please include your e-mail address on a self addressed and stamped post card.
Please note that tapes and CDs will not be returned at our expense.
If you would like it back please send us the proper amount of postage or an SASE.
Also please note that we reserve the right to use your video at future Bakuretsu Con events for exhibition purposes only.
All entries must abide by our rules. We reserve the right to
reject any video we feel does not conform to the guidelines that we have set. If you have any questions please e-mail us at
info@bakuretsucon.org or reply to this post
Please send your labeled VHS or VCD and a completed copy of the submission form to the above address by
March 23, 2004.
So start sending us your videos folks and we hope to see you at our con in April!
