[/UPDATE]

Hello everyone!

[insert fanfare <here>]

Kawaii Kon 2011 is proud to announce the opening for submissions to the Video Art Showcase Theater (VAST) Contest. As always, last year was a stellar year of entrants, and we want even MOAR!

So, without further adieu…

VAST Contest Rules, Short Version
(see long version of rules for full details)

Who can enter?
Anyone can enter the VAST Contest - attendance is not required, although encouraged. The only exclusion to entry is the direct staff of KK-VAST – all other KK staffers are allowed to submit an entry.

What can I enter?
Any video editing project may be entered by its creator(s). Entries are not limited to AMV’s alone – any work of original production video art is also allowed, which includes (but not limited to) live action, self-animated, and self-shot video work. Currently, there is no limit to the number of entries. The only exception to this are videos entered in previous Kawaii Kon-AMV / VAST contests - which are considered ineligible for entry into the 2011 contest.

Where can I enter?
There are two ways to enter the VAST Contest: snail-mail or via the internet (either thru public file transfer sites not requiring memberships to download or your own web hosting site). No entries will be accepted at the convention.

When can I enter?
Entry acceptance starts NOW!
Entry deadline is Midnight (or there abouts) on March 4, 2011<-- DEADLINE HAS PASSED, SORRY
Winners will be announced at the conclusion of the KK-VAST Video Art Contest on Saturday, April 30, 2011

Why do I enter?
To win, of course! An overall winner will be awarded. Other prizes / awards may be included at the discretion of the KK-VAST staff, judges, guests, or the KK-VAST Director (meaning, me).

How do I enter?
Make a video, fill in the entry form, enter it and make sure it gets to us by the entry deadline – couldn’t be simpler. Preferred format is MPEG2 - other formats will also be accepted but they will be converted to MPEG2 on this end if you do. However, for the most control over how your video is displayed, it is suggest that you do your own MPEG2 conversion work.

Questions?
again, for full details, please see the long version of rules
Please post questions below in this thread, or email the VAST Director at kk.vast@gmail.com

Thanks again folks!

[HalOfBorg]

I sent in a few things, including "Food Around the Corner". If nothing else, the judges can have a good laugh AT me.

[808-buma]

HalOfBorg - yes! I have all 3 downloaded. I haven't watched them all yet, but I'm sure there are a few haha's to be had knowing some of your previous works!

Woo! Our first official entrant!

[machina21]

Damn, already? I wanted to redo and send an Oban Star Racers video but im not sure if that's possible since im in the middle of a project and come December im starting another vid. Imma send something though.

I wish I could go to Hawaii. I live in L.A. so maybe I can swim. Keep an eye out for any washed up bodies around late april.
