Hello, I am starting this thread to invite everyone to the BlerDCon AMV contest.

This contest lets creators showcase their talents by screening the top entries at Blerdcon 2021 July 16th-18th. Not only will you see the most elite AMV offerings, but you also have the chance to vote and choose the winners.

For consideration in the Blerdcon 2021 AMV contest, please read the following carefully:

AMV entries will be narrowed down to the top contenders and screened at Blerdcon July 16th-18th, 2021. During screening, the audience will have a chance to vote for one winner per category, Best in Show, and Best in Editing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rules:

- AMVs must be no shorter than 1 minute and no longer than 5 and use resolution from 720p to 1080p

- No 4k videos will be accepted

- All videos should be original work (your work not another editors)

- No video may enter that has placed in a contest within the past 6 months

- Do not include opening or closing credits or watermarks

- Only one entry permitted per creator/studio/team per Category for this contest

- Videos should be appropriate for a general audience; videos with excessive violence/gore, suggestive themes/lewedness, or profanity may be rejected. The general rule is to keep to PG-13 and final ruling is up to judge's discretion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Categories are as follows:

Action: tends to be more fast paced and centers on action, activity and coolness factor

Drama: focuses more on storytelling and strong emotional elements

Comedy: evokes humor through song choice, editing, and/or clip progression

Upbeat: uses faster transitions and music with higher bpm like dance, trap, Afro beats, etc.

Romance: showcases romantic relationships and shipping, whether canon or fanon

Originality: parody, trailer edits, clip compilations, or anything else that does not necessarily fit the above. Creativity is key!



If you qualify as a finalist, we will notify you via email from blerdconamv@gmail.com , blerdconamvcontest@gmail.com

I tried to submit my stuff for the contest but it will not accept my files from Google drive or a direct upload. When I do direct upload it says the file size is too large. I hope this issue gets fixed soon.

I sent an email a couple weeks ago asking about this but haven’t heard back; does "placed" in this context mean if the video has won an award in a contest, received an honorable mention, or if it was so much as included as a finalist?

It means you would had to have been the "winner" of a category, or best in show , peoples choice for for example.
We are not excluding say the runner up or 3rd runner up from competing

I don't see a deadline, only when the convention takes place.
