Anime Expo [sort of] steals $100, news at 11

This wouldn't be the first con to do this .... *Cough* Kawaiicon *Cough*

now now... I've been quite busy with getting ready for AWA, so there's no-one to blame but me. I do have them, but they are sitting in a box I shipped back to Atlanta that hasn't been opened since Kawaii-kon.

I'll get them sent out just as soon as I get access to the box. This will probably be after AWA. If you, or any other winnars have questions, I'm right here.

I'll be at AWA, you can just give me mine there if you'd like...

oh and one of the rules for the contest is that you have to be present to accept awards and prizes... well, at least prizes tho i think Koop never got his staff favorite award from 2003.

Anime Expo also refuses to respond to the Sponsor.
<snip>
Otherwise, Sponsors will become incredibly pissed off from seeing Anime Expo keeping their money, rather than rightfully awarding it.

Sadly it's probably a moot point. It wouldn't surprise me if AX doesn't have an AMV contest next year. Even if they do have a contest how many previous submitting creators will actually submit?

I'm not saying you didn't get the short end here, but rule #7 on the Anime Expo AMV rules,does say you have to be there to get your prize. They should at least give the money back to the sponsor. Do you know for a fact that this has not happened?

To me it seemed like the whole point of this thread was that the company didn't get it's money back, not that he didn't get the prize.

That is correct.

I knew ahead of time that Anime Expo is horrible about sending things out and about communicating with people. But I foolishly expected them to be responsible with their sponsors' money, especially since the sponsor was trying to actively communicate with them.

They're not.

Wait, <i>what?</i> What happened?
