Youmacon 2009 MV Contest Finalists

Postby ngsilver » Sun Oct 25, 2009 7:58 pm

All videos status has been updated in the system. Your videos will either have the status Video Accepted, Accepted for Overflow, or Problems Found. Videos accepted for overflow have been cut from the contest or were submitted as exhibition and will not be shown during the contest block but rather during the con during free play blocks. Videos that have been accepted will compete. Obviously videos that have problems found will not compete or be shown.

For those of you who had videos cut I must apologize. We received a record number of entries this year which went way beyond what we were expecting. In order to attain the 4 hour contest block we had set aside we had to cut entries. Next year we will make it a point to inform you of the final running time we will be shooting for (most likely 4 hours again) and inform you of how entries will be cut. We had a rigorous viewing session where we judged videos based off of final video quality and general enjoyment, we then balanced the categories based off of this rating.

The following videos made it into the final contest showing:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Those of you attending the convention will be able to view the contest one of 3 times:

Friday 5PM - 9PM
Saturday 8AM - 12PM
Sunday 12PM - 4PM

The contest award ceremony will be held Saturday night at 8 PM.

All showings will be in the Video/Audio Track room.

I have been assured that the awards this year will be awesome. I have not seen them myself, however our supplier does a great job. Please remember that if you are not going to be at the convention and plan to have a proxy available to pick up your award you need to send your proxy's name to me so I will be able to authorize giving the award out to them. Also, remember that while Youmacon will ship awards out to winners who are not in attendance, we will not pay for international shipping however. And finally, winners who are in attendance will receive an extra bonus.

I want the prizes, but I can't attend and don't have a proxy (and am international).

Can I pay the shipping myself in case I win something? :>
(or if someone offers themselves as a proxy to help me, I'd be glad...)

Alright, one last chance to watch my video live (and this time during competition).

ETA: assuming it plays closer to the back half of the contest since at-con registration starts at 9 AM on Saturday and the contest starts at 8 AM.

International winners will be contacted in order to arrange for shipping. Yes, you will be required to pay for the shipping of the award(s).

Also, anyone who does not wish to wait for the con to ship the awards (as it may take some time before the con with give me the funds to ship them) may also arrange paying for shipment as well. This includes any previous years awards that still have not been shipped out. (I am still waiting on funds for 2008's awards ^^() )

Videos will be played in close order to their entry number. However they will be randomized in order to keep from having multiple of any one category type close together in order to create the most enjoyable viewing experience for attendees. The order of submission offers a fairly good randomization, however we will also try to break apart multiple videos from the same editor as well.

Judging of the contest will happen mainly on Friday evening with a runnoff judging session during Saturday morning's event.

All winning entries (and runner ups if time is available) will be replayed during the award ceremony. Also, winning videos may also be playing during the convention's closing ceremonies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Any one in attendance that wishes to assist with judging the contest may report to the VAT 30 mins prior to Friday Evening's showing in order to be briefed on how judging will take place. However, we request that editors who's videos are competing to not be involved (we will be checking) as we will have to throw out your votes for your categories.

Hmm, sounds like I'll be cutting it close then. I guess it will come down to how big the at-con registration line is Saturday morning and how fast it moves.
