Spoiler :

Admissibility
 The AMV contest is open to anybody, except for the Geekfest Quebec's staff
 Editors can send up to 2 amvs. Both amvs must be of different category.
 MEP/Collabs are allowed. The person submitting the AMV by mail will have the mep counted in his 2-amv limit. Other editors which have participed in the mep won't have the MEP/Collab counted in their 2-amv limit, so they can still send 2 videos.
 The AMV must have been published publicly in 2014, not before.
 Any plagiarism will be punished by absolute disqualification.
 Scenes containing extreme graphic violences (decapitation, torn limbs, guts) and pornography are forbidden. Considering that the amv should be for a public under 18. (fan service/ecchi is tolerated)
 There is no maximum length for the amv, but keep in mind that anything over 5 minutes may be removed from the public's screening due to short time span allowed for the contest.
 Also, in order to show as much AMVs as possible, please consider having less than 20 seconds of intro/outro/credits (combined). Non-respect of this rule may reduces the chances of the amv being shown.
Geekfest Quebec reserves the right to disqualify entries for any reason they see necessary to protect the overall quality and integrity of the program.

 Maximal file size for each AMV: 30 Mo/Minute

I'm confused about the file size limit. Are you asking for maximum of 30mb, or minimal 30mb? Or is it 30 minutes?

[ProjectBarcodeError]

It's my bad, i forgot to translate Mo, which is megabytes (mégaoctets)

30 Mb for each minute of video.

so if you have a 3:30 minutes long AMV, it should not be heavier than 105 MB.

Exception can be made for 1080p or AE/3d rendered scenes. but it should as much as possible meets the "30mb/min" limit.

[BasharOfTheAges]

For online distribution, that's fine. For the type of file you'd normally send to a con, that's terribly low.

[macchinainterna]

Okay, I understand now. I sent in my two videos. Please let me know if there's anything I need to fix or resend!

Due to some request, i decided to give a 1-week extension.

You have now until the 22th (June) to send your videos!

(Note that sending a Japan Expo entry won't cause any issues due to the fact video contest of both conventions will be around the same time at that Geekfest won't have a livestream edition this year. So don't be shy to send it !)

All aboard !




Important note: All sent videos have got a reply for confirmation, if you haven't received any , mail me !
