Hmm, I believe in previous contests that was the case - they had their own little titles for videos, and specifically stated not to include bumpers (at least from what I remember).
This year though, the contest is being run by different people than previous years, so who knows. I'd go with no bumpers just to be safe, myself...
Oh yea, aluminum - you didn't enter last year, did you? There was quite a buzz among people waiting in line to get in, who were discussing AMV, when it was rumored you were planning to enter something then (apparently, everyone unanimously decided you were the God of AMV)
