[SushiBoyJared]

Hey everyone! Really looking forward to watching everyone's entries this year, and also seeing everyone around at the convention.

Here are the rules: http://www.animesushi.com/smf/index.php?topic=4436.0

QUICK FACTS!

Contest Day: Sunday, March 14th (1:00PM)
Deadline: Deadline Extended to March 5th, 11:59PM! Keep those videos coming!
Formats: Quicktime, Mpeg4, Mpeg2, Mpeg1, AVI (specific format instructions below)
Who can enter: Anyone
Prize for winning: Something good from our friendly donating companies, bragging rights, etc.
Contact: Jared, email at amv@animesushi.org, or at sushiamv@gmail.com
Do I need to read the rest of the rules?: Absolutely, you need to keep reading because there are quite a few things you need to be aware of if you want your video to actually qualify for the contest.

The contest is limited to 2 hours again this year, plus the presentation of awards. Again, looking forward to seeing your vids and saying hi at the con.

Here's the winners thread from last year, incase anyone wants to see what sort of stuff we normally see submitted:

Edit: Added a troubleshooting/questions thread for anyone having difficulties.

Keep those entries coming! We dig what we've received so far!

Hey guys, less than a week left... so... Bump! Keep those videos coming in!

[SushiBoyJared]

One more reminder - we don't require physical presence at the convention to enter, so enter away!

(of course, if you want actual prizes, you have to be there, but don't let that stop you)

Just 3 days left! Loving all of the stuff I've gotten so far, but I want more awesome videos to show the audience (it's ALWAYS a packed room).

Here's a winners reel from 2008 (someone captured it for YouTube, so no accounting for the quality) so you can see what we typically do for that part.

Last day bump!

I got mine in! Phew!

[SushiBoyJared]

At the request of the convention organizers, I have extended the deadline to March 5th, 11:59 PM - If you were thinking about submitting, and have not yet, this is your chance! This is the only extension I will be able to give as we have to get them judged/prepared for the convention. Thanks to everyone who got theirs in by our original deadline. You are truly phenomenal people who have earned my great respect.

Are we allowed to submit more than one, since you need more videos? And how fresh do they need to be? Because I entered mine, but I'll gladly toss you some more if you want filler I enter contests more for exposure than for competition anyway.

Or heck, just scan my Org Profile and grab what you want, if anything.

[SushiBoyJared]

Still only allowing one entry per person, but happy take take more videos just to generally show. If there is something you want to send over, please feel free.

[BishounenStalker]

Awesome. I sent you some non-competing Filler Bunny entries =D
