Glad to see this contest back. :awesome:

Have you ever considered using Google Forms for your submission process? Speaking from the perspective of both a contest coordinator and an entrant, having everything managed through a form is a lot more convenient than through email.

Ooh, that's a good idea. We use that for most of our staff manager/director applications - I don't know why I didn't ever think to use that for the contest. Thanks!

Now in the rules, it says that the entries must be clearly marked w/ our REAL NAME, etc. Does that have to be in the actual file name itself? And yes, I DID reread the rules (as per instructed at the end of the form) but I didn't see anything specific to the file name. And I will be emailing you guys links to the videos. And I would assume that Mediafire is ok?

So, what I mean by your real name is a name that I can use to send you prize money. I won't reveal your real name to the general public (unless, of course, that is how you prefer to be credited for your work). As I think about it, things like Venmo, cash app, and google wallet may make this easier than it's been in the past - possibly all I'll need going forward is a good address that I can make an electronic funds transfer to. But, for now, I'll stick with needing a real name.

The wording "label the file with your real name etc." makes it sound like you want the literal name of the file to include all our relevant information. That's what I thought you meant at first too, but I figured that was nuts, so I just included all that information in the e-mail. This is another reason to use a submission form rather than e-mail. There's less potential for confusing instructions.

Yeah, you definitely have a point. So I’ll just put it in email, with all the information that he requested in the email itself. I will send links to the AMV’s in question. I’m glad I didn’t have to put my real name or anything like that, because then I would have to change it again. The file name that is.
