And we're taking submissions. It's a new hotel, and we have a bunch of new content planned for this year!

When you've trolled every contest, you have my permission to die.

And no, there is not rule against trolling since this is a small con. You just can't send in something that made finals at AUSA in previous years.

One of the first contests I've seen in a while that didn't have a 6 min length cap. I will probably enter this year because of this.

Otakon hasn't had one since 2010 either. The audience just gives you hell for going over if you do ;) AUSA actually has a pretty strong tradition of giving 1st place awards to long-ass videos, which is surprising since both cons are audience-voted.

Well, provided I don't retire this video by Ota next year I can look into sending it in there as well.

I am trying to submit a video over the FTP and I can connect but when I try to upload it keeps giving me an error of "Critical file transfer error after transferring 262,144 bytes in 1 second" I am using the same FTP account that I used for Otakon if that means anything.
