A VCA Partial Disqualification

[AbsoluteDestiny]

Yes, you are correct. However you *can* know when someone has released videos publically and this is what has happened here.

I know. I was just trying to say that, to me, the Best First Video category seems problematic since there's obviously no way to go around and check people's hard drives to see whether or not they've created AMVs in the past that they never uploaded. For all we know, any AMV creator's "first" video might not really be their first. Because of this possibility, you can potentially have much more skilled creators going up against true first-timers, and such a thing would interfere with the spirit and purpose of the category.

That's why the award treats videos that are "the first made public," (as noted in the discription) and not first ever made.

Ah, I didn't notice before that each category had a description posted on the website. Thank you for correcting me on that.

Hi,

I read through the posts and I wanted to clarify:
1. The video was disqualified because the studio/group had posted a video before?
2. Does "the first made public" mean release on their website? upload to AMV? Or either could count as release to the public?

Thanks!

Okay, this might sound silly to some, but there are some AMV fans who have other obligations in life too and I don't know that I'll be able to watch all the categories' entries before voting. But I don't want to miss supporting some great videos because I was trying to cram the rest in before the deadline....

If I cast a vote in *some* categories now, will I be able to vote in the others later? Or will my access to the voting page be denied once I have submitted a vote?

Thanks!

You can give new (or change) votes as long as the deadline hasn't passed.
