I wonder how many of those people we'll see this year.

I can't wait

I'm sure someone will complain. But I'll probably enjoy it.

ALthough I did not participate last year so can;t comment on that one, I think the issue is (based on all previous years) is that the overall quality of the contest is actually going up so there are less "stand out good" vids than in previous years were you had half terrible vids and half good vids, and a few Awesome vids. Its more like 90% good vids and a few that just barely stand out above those lately. So it just *looks* like there's less "good" vids since there is less bad ones to compare them to.

Judging by the currently active upload, he's realized that he only actually uploaded the forms to the ftp site and that I pinged him with an email late last week to that effect.

I have also emailed the creator of the video "Unelma" (though I guess anonymity is irrelevant here since the video's on his profile) but have not heard back. If you're reading this (or can poke him in more direct ways than I) please contact me asap.

As for everyone else, I've been busy processing the videos themselves and I think I've got everything playable and converted to dvd compatible formats. The exceptions have been contacted (and I think all resolved, as of this point). I'll try and go through the forms later this week. If you still owe me a set, please get 'em in. Especially if you're a minor (and make sure to have your parent/guardian sign the last page to that effect).

[Edit] And bleh, courtesy of the way gmail clusters giant threads together and the fact I cc all outgoing emails from the site back to myself it looks like I missed a few. If you don't hear from me within a day or so, please poke me a second time. Using a different subject, especially if it's one of the form letters generated by the site, would be advisable.

Quick question about Masters: is a video still eligible if I send it to another con that takes place the same weekend as AWA (e.g., Connichi)?
