Sorry for the delayed response to your questions. I haven't had internet in a week+ because of traveling and moving into a new place during new college semester time. I will talk to our AMV girl and get the answers for your questions as soon as I can.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been keeping up on this thread more, I've been pretty slammed with work lately. I'm thrilled to be hostessing EXPcon's AMV contest for a second year, so I hope I can answer some questions.

As for the 'Pro' and 'Novice' questions... All videos are Comedy, Action, or Drama, these are their categories. They can also be labeled Pro (if the video in question has previously won somewhere) or Novice (if the editor has never won an award) in addition. Therefore, a video could be a Novice Comedy, or a Professional Drama. A Pro Drama video would be in the running for both 'Best Drama' and 'Best Pro'. I hope this clears things up, I know it's a little confusing on paper but when it actually comes down to judging, it works out very well.

RolltheStampede, there will not be a Novice award for every video type and a Professional award for every video type... The listed 'categories' were actually intended as proposed awards, that was a little flub in the description, sorry!

ShadowExia00, there are no limitations for what kinds of effects you can include in your video. As for category, yes, you can leave it blank (IE not calling it Comedy, Action, or Drama) and the judges will classify it how they feel suits it best.

Onibakun, I don't have access to the videos as they're sent to Ryan Sweat, but if you're very concerned about making sure it was sent, you can send him a follow-up e-mail to ask. But please be patient with him, he's the con chairman so he's very busy right now. I don't actually lay hands on the videos until they're handed over to me, to pass on to the anonymous panel of judges.

I'll be keeping up with this thread a lot more often now, so if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

As I said in my above post, I don't have access to the AMVs yet so you'll have to e-mail Ryan Sweat (the same contact e-mail you sent the entries to) to ask him if he received the entries.

Good luck in the contest!

I heard that one of my videos won at the EXP con 2009 amv contest, but what did it win? Best of Show, or Best Drama? All I know that it sounds great that one of my videos won.

The categories were scrapped. Instead, they showed all the videos, and the con chair just picked 10 that he liked, and showed them again, and 8 of those were given awards. (because they lost/forgot two of the awards)

So, for instance, my friend won an award that reads "Third Place"... but that's not necessarily the third best video.

The award I won, coincidentally, happens to say "First Place"... but that doesn't mean anything... (or does it!!!!)


Congrats on your win! I forget which one was yours, but overall the contest was pretty spectacular, in terms of the quality of videos submitted.

Still too many "action anime to hard rock music" videos, but I'm beginning to think that's a Florida contest problem... and even those were still fairly well done, it's just a tired concept (for me). If you can even call that a concept.
