Please keep in mind that if you have finished uploading your entry(s) via FTP to log back into the entry system and select close FTP for each video you have completed upload for. I cannot process any entries submitted until the FTP account is closed. The sooner you do this, the sooner we can process your entries and the sooner you'll know if you passed QC.

Failure to do this will result in me having to forcefully close the FTP account after the deadline and only then begin processing your entries. So if you submitted early, take advantage of early processing, otherwise your video will be processed with every last min entry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

A note on entry status as well. If your video is marked as 'Video Received' then it has been processed and passed the first part of QC that I do (verify file format, subtitles, length, bumpers, logos) and the entry has been passed on to GQ for final processing and QC. Once GQ has checked the video and verified it to pass all the rules the entry should be marked as 'Video Checked'? Once the video has been accepted as part of the contest it will be marked with the status 'Video Accepted'? If there are issues, your video will either be marked as DQ'ed or Problems Found.

All status has been updated for all entries that have been released to me to process. Keep in mind, processing goes faster if the entry is submitted using the naming scheme requested by the system.

First, I am sending out e-mail responses and updating the status on ngsilver's contest site, so check both to verify your entry status. Here's a quick guide to the contest site's status information:

Before Judging:
- Video Checked: You're fine. I approved the video and added it to the contest list for the judges' review.
- Problems Found: There is an issue with the video received, mostly due to not meeting a rule requirement. An e-mail follow-up will advise you of the situation.

After Judging:
- Video Accepted: Selected as a finalist after judge review and will be in the main contest (or accepted if submitted for the Extreme contest)
- Accepted for Overflow: The video did not make the main contest cut, but will be shown in an overflow program.
---------------------------------
btw, we have 5 days to go until submissions end, and we could use a lot more videos in all sorts of categories. It's still a pretty open field of competition for our contest, so please consider sending some entries our way. :D

This is it! All new submissions end at 12am EST!

Also, thanks to everyone who has submitted so far. For those who have provided videos but with no response yet, I do plan on getting your videos reviewed within the next 2-3 days. Remember that, if you put in a submission request, you will have until end of the day on Wednesday, March 5th to have it uploaded (or a link provided)?

??? and that's it!

FTP accounts will be generated over the next few days, with e-mail and Contest Website updates for those that have sent files. Remember, we will keep all FTP accounts open until Midnight EST on Wednesday, March 5th. That is the absolute deadline -- after that, if it's not in our proverbial hands, we can't accept it as the judges will be given the final list.

I will also send out some updates by e-mail over the next few days to contestants. Finalists that will be shown in the Main Contest will be posted before the convention.

Good luck :)

Just a reminder to those who still have not uploaded files, the FTP server closes all open accounts at 11:59pm (EST) tonight! So, if you have your videos ready, you should get them uploaded right away!

If you uploaded a video, but did not close out the account, no worries -- I should get it when the FTP server closes. You should still double-check that it's been uploaded. If you have any questions, don't wait -- please let me know right away!

All confirmation e-mails have been sent out and statuses have been updated in ngsilver's contest database. Entrants whose video status is "Video Checked" are encouraged to check the database one week before the convention to see if their entries made finals. Just as a reminder, once finalists have been determined:

- If your entry says "Video Accepted", then it is a finalist in the main contest, or has been accepted for the Extreme contest where noted.
- If your entry says "Accepted for Overflow", then the video has not be picked as a finalist, but will be shown at least once during the convention.

For those planning to attend the convention, please keep an eye on the Tekko website (tekko.us) for the schedule of Avatar Music Video events at the convention this year.

We are still getting last-minute fixes done, so statistics for the contest will follow soon.

You really shouldn't use dates as reference markers (i.e. "a week before the con") and fail to spell out when the reference dates actually are.

March 27th is a week before the con, if I'm not mistaken.
Why not just tell him this in a PM? :x
