DBCCL2k22 AMV Contest [CLOSED]

Post by hilovids » Mon Oct 17, 2022 5:28 pm

ABOUT US
Welcome to the first annual DBCCL2k22 AMV Contest! The DanDy Boys Christmas Charity Livestream is held by hilovids and the DanDy Boys, and has been benefitting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention for over 7 years now. This year, as one of our 12 Days of DanDy events, we’re hosting an AMV contest!
CATEGORY RULES
There are three categories this year:
  • Narrative - Edits that tell a heartwarming story, have dramatic flair, or are expressive by design
  • Comedy - Make us laugh! These edits will have us smiling or chuckling from start to finish
  • Commercial - We want to see what different editors can do with the same material! So, we’ve provided links to three different commercials that express some holiday spirit. Choose one of these commercials, take the audio from it, and create new visuals to match:
  • December to Remember Event
  • McDonald’s Certificates
  • Pettable Portable Radio
GENERAL RULES
  • Deadline: November 26th, 2022 11:59pm EST
  • Freshness rule: AMVs must not be premiered before January 1st 2022.
  • For this competition, we will only accept Japanese, Chinese, or Korean animation.
  • Participants can submit 1 AMV to each category.
  • Videos should not contain excessive violence, language, or content that would place it above a PG-13 rating. This will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Derogatory language is prohibited, and will disqualify you from the event.
  • All submissions must be sent through a file sharing service that is accessible to the public (Google Drive, Dropbox, Mega, etc.). We do not accept physical submissions.
VIDEO & AUDIO QUALITY
  • Entries should be of reasonable video and audio quality. Videos that have a resolution and frame rate less than 720p may be disqualified.
  • Entries should be between 1 to 5 minutes in length (give or take a few seconds). An exception to this is the Commercial category, which should be roughly the length of one of the provided commercials.
  • Audio from videos should be mostly music, or audio from one of the provided commercials.
  • Videos should not contain subtitles that were not created by the editor.
  • Videos should not contain watermarks, TV logos, studio bumpers, credits or texts that are unnecessary to the content or context of the video.
  • Videos must be in a standard format (mp4 preferred).
  • Files sizes should be at most 2GB.
AWARDS
The award ceremony will be held Saturday, Dec. 10th at 8:00 PM EST at YouTube.com/hilovids. During the live screening of the finalists on YouTube, our audience will vote for their favorites. Awards will be presented for the following categories:
  • Best of Category
  • Best in Show
  • Judge's Choice
  • The HiloVids Award for Achievement in Technical Design
  • Honorable Mentions
Winners will receive a $10 donation in their name to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention through the DBCCL2k22 and a picture of your favorite anime character drawn by one of the DanDy Boys. These awards will be delivered by email to the one provided during submission.
