I guess the only thing that is debateable is the whole "uniqueness" of it. I guess I should talk to Quu/Julius about that one since I too am a bit curious as to how this will work (although I agree with it).
I don't think it would be much of a problem either, but the rules do say videos that are created during the month of April, and, well, this one kinda "wasn't." Just wondering if I could still enter it or not.
Don't know what you mean by "uniqueness," Daniel. You mean how different from the Iron Chef version it is?
During April? I think he meant it had to be created within the last year...not in the last month. I could be wrong, but am pretty sure on this. Re-read it
As for "uniqueness", I'm not 100% sure on this since I know it was being discussed, but I'm fairly sure ACen implemented a "unique entriies only" policy similar to that of JACON. This was done (assuming it was) for various reasons:
1) Less entries (they had over 120 last year)
2) Makes for a more diverse contest (i.e. not the same vids at every con)
3) Eliminates trolling
4) Better chances for local editors to *not* be cut
I'm not 100% sure they implemented this, but I do remember discussing it on the ACen forums and it getting a fairly positive reaction.
If not, I am 100% sure they at least have a trolling rule, but you'd be exempt from that in this case.
If I'm wrong, please correct me Julius.
