If you attend both showings of an AMV contest at the con,

Post by Adv1sor » Sat Jun 21, 2008 11:32 am

do you vote twice? :roll:

I was recently lucky enough to have one of my AMVs come in a dead heat in the voting at a local con. Now, of course, I voted for myself :) I attended both shows but I only voted at the first show. Had I voted for myself at the second show I guess I would have won hands down. As it was, I was lucky enough to win anyway, even though the other AMV was really really good.

So my question is,

If you attend both showings of an AMV contest at the con, do you vote twice?

Absolutely not - I have far more integrity than that.

Most of the cons i go to usually only have one showing. If they have multiples they only let you vote during one of them. i usually don't vote for myself anyway unless i really feel my video was the best of the category. I think i suck so thats not hard.

I'd only vote ones. And if I were to actually vote for myself, then it would only be because I felt it was the best in the category. Granted I'm the asshole that runs the local contests so I never get to enter anymore regardless. And at the contest I run I don't let the editors vote on their own video's period. As I feel people look at their own stuff from a different perspective then just a normal viewer/other editor. Thus are more biased towards it.

I have been judging them for over 5 years now and I have to say no, I also have yet to put out an amv on the org so I can never vote for myself. I have too many parameters on how I judge a vid.

Or against it, as the case may be.

What he said. I only vote for myself when I honestly believe I have the best entry in a category. That's not always the case, but to be honest, it has happened a handful of times (zomg ego).
