Awwwwyea I think I'm going this year. Premiere a video there too? We'll see...

I uploaded a couple entries to the contest (where it said to upload). Will there be conformation messages going out soon? or will we not know until the finalists are posted as to whether or not our entries were received.

Though I no longer am associated with the con, I'd say it's a good bet you won't get any confirmation about your submissions before the con. I figure only a limited number of entries will be shown at the contest itself including, of course, the winners. I'd hoped to show a two-hour+ block of entries in one of the video rooms like I did last year, but I wouldn't count on that happening now. You may have to wait until Anna May Belle or someone from the con hopefully posts a list of winners somewhere after the con. Sorry to be so negative, but I felt you should know the situation. Good luck!

Technology being what it is, someone should use a smartphone and post the winners here with it.
Is this a smallish convention?

BTW I sent a parody to y'all.

The con has been running since 2003 and is the biggest anime con in Florida with attendance last year over 6,000, so it isn't small in numbers. Unfortunately, I believe the parties currently running it don't care as much for anime and its fandom as I'd like, spending most of their energy on the Chess Match and Fire Show. That's part of the reason I'm no longer working for the con.

To be fair, winners have not been always posted as they should have in the past, mostly due to other things getting in the way. I hope this won't be the case, but I have my doubts.

Good luck with your entry also!

I hope they are posted...it would really suck (not that this would happen to me but for those better veteran editors) to win at this con and not know it and get pinged for anti trolling later on for having won a contest they didn't know about.

Good luck everyone!

That uploading process was...weird...

How so? I know the guy that designed the code for the MyConsOnline site and I'm sure he'd appreciate any feedback either positive or negative.

It's just not the usual way I've gone about uploading stuff to cons. The MyConsOnline site is pretty nifty and the uploading process was nice and straight forward. It's just the rules for the actual contest were not as fleshed out as I was expecting. No indication if credits were allowed as part of the video and I didn't see any indication of being asked for information such as the song, anime, editor name, etc. Maybe I was missing something but you weren't kidding about them not caring much.
