AWA15 VAT - Expo deadline - one day left (Aug 21)

Postby kholaras » Mon Aug 10, 2009 11:08 am

AWA's Exposition Contest, basically an anything goes free-for-all with regards to video art, has a deadline rapidly approaching in less than a week from now, August 21, 2009. As with the other contests, register your entry at http://www.awa-vat.org. After registering you'll be allowed to request an ftp account or you can mail in your entry physically. That's it.

A wide rage of formats are allowed, but the closer you adhere to the basic guidelines at http://www.awa-con.com/index.php?page=86#general the easier it will be to process and more likely to appear as you intend on the big screen.

Any questions you have should be sent to vattechnical@gmail.com

Less than a week out and we're at a surprisingly low number of entries. If you're planning on a last minute entry, please reconsider and at least register the entry early. You can return to the entry later to request your upload account for the weekend. The better idea we get of the grand total number of entries the better we can plan for judging and whatnot.

At the very least sign up for your account early. They are manually reviewed and approved, so don't be surprised if there's a delay between your registration and the account being usable for logging in. And if you're using an old account from years past, please make sure you can remember the login. If you can't, use this opportunity to get it reset before the last minute.

Upped the mofos. Feel free to point and laugh at my efforts.

How do you feel about opening/closing credits? The only mention in the rules that I can find is on the entry form, saying not to list "intro/outro music".

By process of elimination, one could assume that the requested exclusion of intro/outro music sources would imply the permissible inclusion of said intros and outros.

The straight answer: yes, permitted. We will only generate bumps for the awards discs to be shown in main events on Saturday afternoon.

Well answered.

But you left out two very important factors:

I'm stupid and not the most absorbent. Ascorbic. Something like observant. :P

Thanks!

What about older videos? I submit my newest one, but I also have videos that I would like to show again. They were already part of Expo and Pro last year. Are they allowed too?

Oh yeah Sean, one of my expo entries is my Old School TV Project video. I think after 3 years, I was finally tired of not being able to premiere it.

Older videos are fine, but (and this really should be explicitly merged with the main rules) we don't accept videos that have previously competed at AWA nor do we permit a single video to double up on contests in the same year.

I thought it already was.

I could swear I didn't upload my entry though I put it in the database ages ago.

But it says recieved and I can't reaccess the page to check. Was my Kaleido Star video recieved?

One of my videos send to expo is pending since one week whereas the other 2 (which i uploaded later) say received. Ftp is closed since i uploaded it 1 week ago but there is no status-update. Should i reupload it or are you just lazy? :P

Nope, not lazy. Just kinda partway between processing. All 3 of your vids are there.

As for The Wired Knight, yea, it's all there. 149meg's worth (and I played the file, it goes all the way to the end). Cancelled the ftp request assuming you didn't have an updated version to upload.
