There's a little more than two months for folks to get their submissions in for the contest. AnimeNext will be taking place June 18th - 20th at the Crowne Plaza Meadowlands in Secaucus, NJ (yes, the same place as two years ago, huzzah!). All submissions must be received by May 21st.

All necessary full submission rules and forms can be found at the above address (in DOC, FTP, and PDF form). Here's a quick break-down of some of the most important rules, however:
- Deadline: May 21st, 2004
It must be in our hands by this date... not simply post-marked by this date. If you have to over-night ship, so be it. We need time to prepare all the videos and the compilation tape! - No Titles / Credits / Bumpers
Nowhere in your video should be there any kind of title or credits (neither before, during, or after). We will be creating our own for each individual video. We shouldn't have to cut them out of your video, so please be aware of this! We can’t stress enough how much you should absolutely not put any kind of over-layed text credits in your video, credits at the end, opening studio bumpers, etc. - Blackspace (5 seconds digital, 15 seconds analogue)
If you are submitting digitally, please include five seconds of blackspace before and after your video; no more, no less. If you are submitting via analogue tape, have at least fifteen seconds. - 1 video submission
You are only allowed to submit a single video. - Completed Submission Form
Make sure your entire submission form is filled out, including signatures!
