The official Ohayocon 14 AMV contest and exhibition thread

How soon would a prize have to be picked up by the proxy?
I can't be there so I'm asking a friend to show up in my place, in theory if I won, I don't want him to miss any of his plans for me so I want to know if he can come by at the end of the day, or the last day of the con, or if it has to be during the contest.

How strict is the gore limit for this contest >_>

Pretty strict but are allowed some blood. As you probably know, in anime, blood coming out of a person's nose is used for comedic effect. That I have no problem with. I will accept some form of stabbing so long as it is kept brief. I don't want to limit creativity, but the best answer I can give is it needs to be PG-13. If it looks beyond that, I can't accept it.

Hope that helps.

The 2 entries limit, dose that include the exhibition? Or the limit only applies to the contest portion?

In the rules, I mentioned the phase, "Otherwise, all other rules will apply in submitting the exhibition showings." This does include exhibition. I might change that for next year depending on how much interest there from the editors side as well as the audience side. But for now, the answer is yes, the limit applies to the exhibition showing.

Hope that helps.

Any prizes awarded will be done so at the awards ceremony on Sunday. So the proxy would have to be present then. Hope that answers your question.

Is there a schedule of events posted yet? I assume it's probably too early still for a final schedule, but I'll need to adjust my airline flight accordingly.

No. Unfortunatly not. I am trying to shot for two showings, one for Friday night, around 7 ish and for Saturday around 2 ish, with the awards ceremony on Sunday, probably at noon. But again, that is not official.

Tell you what. Can you shot me an e-mail at amv@ohayocon.org and we can discuss further. Let me put it this way. I don't want to say your AMV is out of the question without actually seeing it first. So e-mail me first before we go any further.

The registration deadline is now 5 days away, as of this post. I am in desperate need of comedy, trailer, and upbeat/dance videos. Also, if I could use some AMVs that debuted from this past year for our exhibition showing.
