IF you are out of the country (USA) you can print sign and scan your entry form to PDF and include it with your video or send it separately. I would PREFER normal mail but in instances such as this an exception can be made.

Scintilla wrote:Hey, can I get a clarification on this? I'm confused:

The Rules wrote:Anime Expo® will not ship prizes, though proxies may claim the prize for the author with a signed proxy form[...] Anime Expo® sponsored Anime Music Video Contest Award Trophies will be shipped to winners.

So does that mean that "prizes" covers only things like DVDs and gift cards and other non-trophy items?


You are correct Scintilla. We won't ship prizing items (DVD, Merch etc) but we will ship the trophy.

I thought the rules had always been pretty clear about that (rule 14b); maybe next year it ought to be moved closer to the top of the list?

Anyway, I'm putting two videos on my entry form and just making a note that the second one may not be finished in time.


Rule 14b is very clear, but exceptions have been made in the past. The issue is that none of us are getting through to the individuals running the contest.

Also, the rule is simply archaic. At this point requiring hardcopies from anyone, let alone international editors, is inconsistent with the digital revolution. If the US Navy accepts scans of documents I sign as legally binding documents from Japan, so too can an AMV contest at an Anime Convention. Expo is way behind the times on this one.


Please see my previous resonse. In the case of internation entries(especially this close to the date) you can print sign then scan your entry form and include it with your online submission via the delivery method of your choice.

I suspect I will be re-visiting 14b with the lawyers for next years contest.

IF you are FTP'ing vis Megaupload or whatever, you need to email me the link AND snail mail the entry form with a postmark of no later than May 1. That means I need the link by May 1 otherwise those submitting via interwebs would have a whole six days more to edit...not thats hardly fair don't you think?

Link to me no later than May 1.
Form, in the mail, postmarked no later than May 1.

Thank you for the confirmation here. Ignore what I wrote on my entry form (which I mailed off today) about making the May 6 deadline then and mentally replace it with making the May 1 deadline. I have my first video done already, so it can be entered no matter what; it's only the second that I might not have done in time.

Is it alright to send you a uploaded link over e-mail. See i encoded mpg2 with mp2 audio which while i'm sure will work fine, just wanting to cover my bases.

Uh, are you sure that will get postmarked today?...

Sephiroth: I asked on the first page about MPEG-2 with MPEG-1 Layer II audio, and DigitalPanther seemed to indicate that it would be fine.

I have decided to skip Expo this year. I am afraid I am unable to provide an video that meets the technical requirements in about four hours.
