Well, our contest doesn't really have any technical rules - I review the entry as soon as I've downloaded it and if it there's any problem with it, in that it doesn't play correctly, then I email the creator right away to ask for which codex are needed, etc.JudgeHolden wrote:You might want to post the Techie stuff too ... format, bumpers, and so on.
Because of this, format isn't usually a problem.
We don't have any preferred resolution or frame rates either. If time permits, we *may* recode videos, although, at this time, that seems rather unlikely. So, the video you send, will be played, as is.
Bumpers and credits are most definitely allowed - generally speaking, your video, as you send it, will be shown as is.
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Jenny Chan
