Youmacon 2014 Video/Audio Track Competition

[ngsilver]

We just finished our last group judging session today. I have a number of paper ballots to transcribe, excel functions to re-build and a few remote judges I'm still waiting on results from (they have 1 more week to get their stuff to me) and I'll have all the scores tabulated and the finalist lists ready to be released. Of course, the award winners will not be announced until the Award Ceremony Saturday Evening at the con. I will post the event details, schedule, and location to watch the stream live that we run all weekend from the VAT the week of the con. As for the finalist list, I will be posting that as soon as I have it ready, so hopefully early next week. You can also check the entry status page for an update on your entry.

Our judges did DQ a few entries during our sessions this weekend. I am updating those DQ's status now, so you should see an updated status very soon.

We all enjoyed watching the videos and I think ya'll will love some of the award names we came up with this year. Thanks again to everyone for submitting, ya'll have made this the best competition yet and our 10th year one to be remembered.

All entries in the finalist list will be shown at the convention during our entry showing blocks. Congratulations to all of our finalists. I will be updating the entry status in the entry system shortly.

It was a very close battle for the finalists. The average score across all of our judges was 61.8, that also happened to be the target score to make the finals.

Keep in mind, making the finals does not guarantee winning an award, though not making finals does not guarantee you will not win an award. For anyone who didn't make finals you are welcome to request viewing of your entry during any of our free play blocks, even if you are not attending the convention. You can hop onto our livestream and request your entries to be shown, as well as any other video. We will take requests via the livestream chat as well as in-person.

I will be sending out confirmations to all of our entrants checking if you will be at the con. All our entrants get prime seating at our award ceremony. We will also be streaming all weekend, including our audience reaction stream. I will be posting the links to these as we get closer to the con. Also, if you wish to follow around via twitter we will be tweeting the awards out as well. Follow @VATatYouma for these updates.

That's what happens when we get video titles that the forum text formatting can't understand. I've updated it using the safe version of the title.

Congrats to the finalist! Now that's a list of videos there. I'm just glad a couple of my videos were able to be a part of this.
