Hello there, AMV Head here for Castle Point Anime Convention. For those who don't know, CPAC is a local run con in Hoboken for the New York/New Jersey area which will take the weekend of March 29 at Stevens Institute of Technology. The attendance usually runs around 600 people, so its on a much more personal and friendly level than most other cons. We will be having some awesome events going on including cosplay chess and a concert with MC Frontalot and some 8-bit bands. Here is a link for those interested in attending: http://www.stevens.edu/anime/cpac/
As most cons do, we'll be having a viewing for AMVs. Because this is a local run con (funded by the school no less), we cannot provide prizes but we will be setting up a viewing. So if you want your AMVs to be enjoyed by some friendly New Jersey/New Yorkers (or are attending yourself), then send us some of your videos. Its as simple as attaching it to an email and sending it to amv@castlepointanime.com. If you have multiple files which are too large to attach, just post them to http://www.sendspace.com/ and email me the link! Just remember to include all necessary information along with it.
PS. Sorry if this is the wrong sub-forum. It seemed most appropriate even for just a viewing.
Here are the rules:
Please send all entries to amv@castlepointanime.com, or you can mail a CD/DVD to
