neorose · Post by **neorose** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 4:15 am

Well This will be the 1st official AMV contest for Wasabi. http://animelandwasabi.ning.com/

Why submit to Wasabi?
For the Glory of course, Have you ever made an AMV or work of video art and thought "I wish I could see that on a huge projected screen and share it with the world(not youtube). Here is your chance.

Da Rulz

1. Anyone can enter the contest there is no age requirement for the contest. All Videos need to have been made after January 1st 2008.

2. There is no limit to how many entries you can enter but only one of your videos can win.

3. There is no block on content for your submission, keep in mind that if your video is seen as 18+ by the staff it will not be shown at the main showing of the contest and will only be shown during the late night AMV block. Also keep in mind that live action and video game videos are welcome.

4. Submissions can be mailed in(see Contact info at end) or submitted by Free upload sites. I will have a main account set up on http://www.megaupload.com . If you wish to submit to the main site or by any other free site you need to send an e-mail the the address in the contact info 1st. In the e-mail you must include the following.

E-mail:
Your Name:
Your Editor Name:
Your Video's Name:

If you are submitting more than one video you need to say how many and the names of all the videos you are submitting. If you are submitting by mail we accept CD's, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, and if you feel like submitting a BD yes we can read Blu-Ray discs but I dont see why anyone would send in a 20$ BD for a submission. When burning your entry, please do not make it a playable DVD or VCD – just a simple data disc is all that will be required. With your mailed submission plz keep in mind that you WILL NOT get your disks back so do not send your master copy. Also you need to include all the same info as if you had digitally submitted your video, Name, Editor Name, Video Name, and How Many( if more than one then Have All The Names).

5. File formats. We would like all submissions encoded as MPEG-2 as all will be shown by means of DVD in Main Events. We do take other file formats. Other file formats include AVI, WMA, DIVX, and MP4. We will convert all submissions to MPEG-2 anyways.

MPEG-2 Profile:
Resolution: 720 x 480, hard-letterboxed if using widescreen footage
Framerate: 29.97fps
Audio: MP2 at 48khz, stereo audio only, 224 kbps or higher, no variable audio bit rates
Video: 8000 kbit/s max, progressive
note: please do not send in authored DVD video files, just send the MPEG2 computer file.

Non-MPEG-2 Profile:
Resolution: 640x480 minimum
Framerate: 23.976 / 24 fps or 29.97 / 30 fps
Audio: any suitable audio format per your container files at a suitably high (192 kbps or higher) bitrate.

6. Submission Deadline. The Deadline for all submissions is March 1st 2009. This deadline is for both Mailed in and Digital Internet Submissions. If you need an extension on that date you must first e-mail Us before that date asking for an extension and list the reason why. Plz note that just cause you ask for one does not mean you will get one.

Just to answer a question that I got early on, No you do not have to be attending the con to submit nor to win an award. I am working on weather we will hand out award certificates at con or be mailing them out.

Oh I just remembered I bit ago that this year unlike last year there will be a room that will be showing AMVs for a good portion of the day. Soo what ever get submitted will get shown during the con at some point. Heck I have a late night block for 18+ AMVs. So ya we got the main events room for the contest and I get my own little AMV room yaaa.

Is 23.976fps with the "3:2 pulldown upon playback" flag set acceptable?

That will be fine. If there are any issues with the vid ill let ya know early enough so you can resubmit.

Also yes If there are any editors that want to submit a MEP to the con feel free and Ill set time aside in the AMV Room to play them, if I dont get any then ill just be playing ones that have come out in past years during some filler block of AMVs.

I changed some wording that may have been confusing some in the first part of the rulz. Also I got asked if Live action and Computer animated moves are ok for submissions...yes they are fine.
