How to add AMV Con info to AMV Listing?

Maybe I'm just stupid or something, but AWA Expo 2007 wasn't listed in the con directory for adding cons to your video. In fact, the only thing listed was AWA's Masters contest.

I didn't see a way for me to add any con info that wasn't already there... So how do you do it?

the contest coordinator is supposed to enter it O.o

and if this is any indication then the coordinator didnt enter masters into the database either

i mean enter the contest into the system so you can add your video to it.

Okay, so then I just have to sit and wait and hope that Wagner's going to enter AWA's contests in there?

There's no way around it?

While I understand why that should theoretically protect us from all the stupid repeat entries out there, it's still kinda... Dumb. What if the contest coordinator never gets around to putting it in?

then you type it in the description? (thats what ive done)

you could always go on the "unofficial thread" and harass him into it O:

i think someone there mentioned it already though O:

Well, someone's already gone in and added the con with the single contest entry. I tried adding the other two in there, but it's not editable by me.

So we have to wait until a moderator goes in and cleans out the old contest entry from whoever jumped the gun but didn't put all three contests in, in order to make room for me putting the right stuff in.

*sigh*

Or what if the contest coordinator doesn't even visit this site in the first place and/or doesn't know about the contest calendar?

(I've been saying this ever since the new system was implemented.)

Well then someone follows the suggestion that i think godix gave and adds the contest themselves to prevent anyone form entering their videos.

Yeah, I called it in last night. A couple of NarutoBall vids were listed which made me think someone was screwing around. Anyway, it appears to be cleared out now so you might want to try again if you haven't already.

Done and done.
