In order to be eligible for the VCAs the video must have been released in 2012. If they waited till after the New Year to add the entry on the Org then they'll have to wait until the 2014 VCAs. So even though the video you linked was essentially made in 2012, they didn't release it until 2013 so it would not be eligible for the 2013 VCAs.

There is still some final prep for everyone to do before the first round begins, especially checking which videos qualify and if there are any you want to "opt-out" of competition.

Everyone should make sure to check the VCA section of the members page when it goes live before the first round, as once the nominations start, there's no going back.

Sooooo this seems like a spot to say this. How about people start adding yotube links to their video profiles....not gonna lie when I have to download i skip over and I'm assuming some other people might to.

Because there is the preview option which works exactly like a youtube stream?

I think this might be a silly question (since I can see from last year that it's true)
but can some videos be in multiple categories for voting?
It seems like there are certain videos that are showing up in several different threads, and that's not a bad thing at all! Congrats to the editors! :'D
But will contest come down to 4 or 5 videos taking all the awards? Does that happen a lot in the VCAs?

Yes, it might happen. Check the last year's results (and the years before are there too) to see how often it happens ;>

Question: do we have a restriction about how many categories a video can win in the VCAs?
Let's say in the case that a video doesn't fit in one category, voting has begun and the author wants to change the genres. Is it possible to do the change during the voting?

Which forces us to rate the video...I often search for a video on youtube first even after finding it on the org so I'm not forced to rate it. I personally prefer to watch a video a few times and put though into rating it, I don't really like being forced into it. Also the audio delay appears to be worse on the org than on youtube, I suspect that youtube's audio codec has a minimal delay while the org probably uses nero or something similar with a 50+ ms delay, causing sync issues.
