Good luck to all entrants!


The email I got when my video was "tested to play fine" said that finalists should be announced about a month before the con. Keep in mind that last year we didn't know finalists until like 10 days before the convention, though.


Yea, and that 10 days early notice was before Vic was even supposed to announce them since the Otakon lawyer hadnt yet approved the videos. As I recall the only reason he announced early was because everyone wanted to know and there were no objections to having them be announced with the disclaimer that some may be disqualified due to legal issues brought up by the lawyer. I think that entrants will feel the same way about it this year.

So here's what's happening now so ya'll are still in the loop.

Deadline is over. Thank you for all of your perfectly encoded videos </sarcasm>

Tradition now dictates that this thread must be kept alive with guesses as to how many entries we received this year ;)

I still have to go through ALL of the videos that arrived after 8PM on the 12th, as well as 3 that I picked up from the PO box. That's over 30 videos alone. I'm working on them now, so if you fall into this group, don't fear, you'll get an e-mail eventually. If you uploaded your video earlier, check your spam folders. Any video that was in the FTP when I woke up Monday morning will qualify as being in "on-time". If I need corrections from anyone, you'll have a day or two to make them.

Once these entries are compiled, we will pre-screen all of them on July 2nd. The event is semi-open, meaning anyone who can make it to Philly is invited, but there's only so much physical space available. If you're interested in giving up your ENTIRE SATURDAY then PM me and I will put you in touch with the pre-screening coordinator.

I will know the finalists by July 3rd, and will PROBABLY announce them early with the disclaimer that said list is not final, nor will it be until right before the con. Otakorp's lawyer has until the publications deadline to approve the entries for the final contest, and only then will the ballots get printed and the list written in stone. I believe this deadline is July 20th but I might be wrong about that.

I could go with 130, but that would be mean, so I'll go with 148 entrants, 6 of those DQs, making 142 accepted submissions.
