Anything to keep people from submitting VHS which then gets transfered to another VHS, hence making the vids look terrible. It would also be nice if the AMV Advanced Panel was not scheduled to run when the AMV Awards ceremony was being done. The same thing happened last year, worst scheduling ever!

Acen was "only" 9 hours of entries.... and A-Kon is a larger and older con that Acen (I think)
at least its not AWa's which had 300+ entries last year

Dallas is a great location for a con I think gives people from the East and West coast less travel time. DFW is a great airport. We have tons of hotels and cool things to do in dallas. Plus I am in the top 10 of AMV makes in the area, sadly there are only 8 editors.![]()

Burn on myself there.

I agree. Actually IIRC A-kon is the 3rd biggest con in the United States (next to AX and Otakon) and it's unfortunate that such status doesn't extrapolate into their actual events and coordination (or lack thereof).
3rd biggest, but one of the worst run in terms of AMVs (i.e. no digital submission, not replying to e-mails, etc.)...basically no respect for creators.
Oh well there's always Animefest and Ushicon which run their contests very well.
