I've submitted the stuff to the trophy maker but they're not going to be done for another week or so.

As a general idea they're going to be this trophy:

haha, the only reason I actually used that link was because it worked on mine. I was just being lazy. Fixed now.

When the rules state "Videos must not contain bumpers, title screens, credits, or any other forms of creator and/or footage/audio identification,", does this mean videos with subtitles will be DQed? (for example, fansub footage or artificially placed subtitles)

Also, what if the subtitles help enhance the feeling of the video?

Subtitles are a separate topic from credits...but the general concensus is this:

Fansubs = DQ.
Editor-created subs = generally allowed (but needs to be done carefully since subs often distract the viewer from the main point of the AMV).

If fansubs are used a video source you should either be avoiding clips with subtitles or cropping them out completely. Probably best to either obtain RAWs or DVDs as sources instead of using fansubs.
