Erm... did that happen to be a Vampire Hunter D video?

Contest results are announced at the closing ceremonies. That's 3 PM on Sunday.
The displays were three screens (projectors, not TVs), one in the center, one on the left and one on the right. The center one was at the back of a deep stage.
The HnK video was "Ballad for Two" according to my notes. I don't remember who the creator was.
The long blank screen...might have been VHD. I didn't mark it down and there were several VHD videos.
<edit> I wouldn't worry about the results being affected by playback. That might have been the case if there were 2nd and 3rd place prizes. But the vids that were most popular did well despite the A/V. As I wrote above, the audience liked what they liked.
AND...Sakura-Con sold out in the first hour today. Good work by staff getting an announcement on the Web site by 10:30AM.
