I mean you really wouldn't even have to check and verify that the people really did... it would just cut a bunch of people from submitting in the first place.
Discouraging to newbies? Yea. Elitist? Yea. But I think thats irrelevant. Otakon is now the biggest convention in the country, and when people go to watch amvs at the biggest convention, they want to see GOOD ones. 95% of good amvs will come from creators that are already estabilshed. Its quite unlikely that you'll see some dude make an awesome award winning amv on their first try... they can always send in their videos to smaller conventions.
Of course, just a suggestion. Feel free to flame me.

I still find that unfair. Some of the real good videos come from people who have never one before... Frankly I don't like the idea of restricting it like that...

Hey!![]()
Ya know, if you kept newb videos out of the contest, that could possibly lead to good things - such as, that Love is Flowers video would've NEVER made it, let alone won!
