Yes, we are accepting trailers again this year. That's not a typo. I can't make an official statement yet on Otakon's behalf or else the Otakorp Tribal Council will probably hand me my ass. Just know that I'm still sticking up for you guys, both past and future entrants

The deadline is a VERY HARD DEADLINE. We will likely be screening videos the next weekend, and the weekend after that, so that we have enough time to shoot a tape over to Otakon's lawyer for final approval before I make up the ballots and prepare the contest/overflow blocks for screening. This means that I won't even know the list of finalists until only a week or two before the con. Ya'll are gonna have to put up with being in the dark for a while. The only alternative is to push up the deadline. Do not want.
One major change this year is that all entrants will get a "l33t seat" badge for the AMV contest screenings, not just the finalists. We blocked off 4 rows last year, and only filled 2, so we do have space to work with. Hopefully I can get reimbursed for the materials this year. 500 badges don't laminate themselves

More details as they develop, but I'll certainly entertain questions in the meantime.
