This year's contest was very difficult to judge, as the great majority of entries scored very closely together - an unsurprising development perhaps, given that the average level of quality to our AMV contest just keeps getting higher and higher! Because of this, we had to use a lot of other qualitative considerations in banging out this year's playlist, and to that tend, I'm still not altogether happy with the final outcome, as we will ultimately not be able to play many deserving entries.

The decision on which entries to show was made with reference to the following factors:

1) The score of the video. This was the primary factor.

2) The number of videos you submitted. With limited exception (3), we decided to show only 1 video per creator, in order to showcase as many creators as possible. Those limited exceptions were allowed for the sake of audience entertainment; there really wasn't very many fun or upbeat videos this year, and so we really wanted to include those where we reasonably and fairly could.

3) Whether you were attending Otafest. Because Otafest is a smaller convention based in Calgary attended mostly be locals (around 4000 people almost exclusively from Alberta), we wanted to have a balance of locally created videos in order to encourage local talent, and to let creators actually see their work on the big screen. Therefore, as roughly 17% of contest entrants were local creators, 17% of the entries showing are from local creators as well.

Thank you very much to everyone for entering our contest this year; the AMV contest is one of Otafest's best highlights, only because of you folks! The show will happen on Sunday, May 17th at 12:30pm - 2:30pm in our main events room - ST148! Winner will be announced during this time! Winner of the Fan Favourite Award based on audience vote will be announced at our Awards Ceremony on Sunday, May 17th at 6:30pm in the main events room! Finally, on Monday, May 18th, I will also announce via email, on the Otafest Forums, and the a-m-v.org forums, the Otafest 2009 AMV Contest Winners!

Thank you very much once again, and good luck to everyone!

Cheers,

Jenny Chan
