#) Freshness Rule
No “stale” entries. A “stale” entry is considered any of the following:
a) An entry whereby AX would be the fourth (or more) live event that the entry would be exhibited at.
b) Any entry that is or has been publicly viewable and/or obtainable online.
c) Any entry that was shown at any live event prior to July 1st, 2012.

Not saying you won't get good videos, but some people do usually post online after the first convention it premieres at, so all of those videos would no longer qualify.

I think it'll be easier instead of looking for every video that premiered online or at cons before AX.
Keep the year freshness rule, but like Otakon, if an AMV won first place somewhere else before a certain date, it gets DQ'd.

9: Entries must have been made during the time elapsed since the end of Sakura-Con 2011, and not won awards at more than two separate conventions.
The not won at more than 2 separate cons came into play this year, and I was asked why X video didnt make the finals. The entrant actually emailed me and pointed it out because they didnt see that rule before submitting.
