This is the first year I would like to enter into the VCAs, but I updated only now my profile checking the "All my videos are in the catalog". Is there any problem or now I'm qualified?

I'm seriously sorry for the double post but I would really need to make another question, I didn't find nothing about this in the rules

:
am I able to propose my own videos? Or can I only notify other creators? Last year I saw members submitting their own videos but I really want to ask this.

Sorry for the trouble and thanks for your answers.

Hey,

Michele: The "my qualified" link (given above and on the VCA page) will let you know if you have anything that could keep you out of the VCAs. If that page is clean, you are good to go. You are perfectly welcome to promote yourself in the VCA forum, but saying "Pick me!! Pick me!!" generally doesn't look good.

genestarwind21122: The timeframe of the entries doesn't make a difference. If you have bad entries in the catalog, you will be disqualified.

I hope this helps.

Phade.

I can't correct them. It willn't allow me to change the audio sources in them. Could I get those three video info links deleted please.

Thanks.

<a href="/bugs/vidinfo/">Request Change of Locked Video Information</a> is at the bottom of the edit videos page.

I've used that option before and none of the mods have ever changed it. I've done it twice in the past year.

I'll try it again.

I did submit changes for my audio on my videos and they are no longer under pending or active requests, but yet my audio hasn't changed.

SUGGESTION: Video that wins "Video Of The Year" is ineligible to win in other categories

Not to try and penalize it, but as I wrote in IRC, if it wins Video of the Year, we can assume it kicks ass in all other departments, so we can make room for other things to win.

Other people give that idea the thumbs up?

Alot of videos are very close this year. I don't think there is a clear winner at this point like there was the past two years in my opinion. Plus, I like seeing the vid of the year have a crap-load of other won stuff too.

I wish the Best Dinosaur nomination wasn't rejected. I would have voted Requiett without a doubt.

Oh, just noticed the one that says "Biggest Asshole", lol!

question:
I see that someone else other than me suggested a 'best rookie video' and they were rejected --> reason being that this award was covered by the 'best first video'

So

does this mean that any video made by a rookie (someone who has their first video premiered in 2005) qualifies or is it still limited to the very first listing in a person's profile that qualifies as a 'first video'? The rejection sort of muddles up the water, so to speak.

of course I'm asking this for purely personal reasons, as my first listed video sucks donkey balls and my second one is much better. I'd like the second video entered as 'best first video' (as it truly is a full-fledged AMV, while the first one is basically a short, and technically my second AMV too, just got listed first), but as the rules currently state qualifying vids for this category is for your 'first listed video'.

am I making any sense? Anyway, thanks!
