Bakuretsucon 2014 - Winners posted!

[LantisEscudo]

Bakuretsucon, Vermont's only anime convention, is back for another year, and the AMV contest is looking for entries!

The full rules are at http://bakuretsucon.org/amv/

The high points:

• Deadline is October 3rd
• Length should be between 0:30 and 6:00
• No watermarks or dub audio
• H264/AAC/MP4 or MKV is preferred, but we'll work with anything that we can get to play back cleanly

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me here or on the Bakuretsucon forums, in a thread or via PM. There's also the "Contact Us" form on the Baku website, just select "AMV Contest" from the pulldown.

I look forward to seeing your great entries!

UPDATED WITH FINALISTS:
Thank you all for submitting your videos to Bakuretsucon 2014's AMV Contest. We received more than 100 entries this year, which is the largest number we've ever had.

Finalists will be receiving an individual email, letting them know which of their entries made the finals and in what categories, along with other info about the at-con screening.

I'll probably enter a couple of videos for the contest. Depending on funds and how much leave I have. I may be coming to this convention, not sure yet as it is an 8 hour trip for me.

There is something wrong on the website when I try to upload my AMV. It gives the following error message.

First it uploads the AMV, going all the way to 100 percent but then this happens.

I am glad I could help

[BladEra123]

It seemed to work this time, thanks for that. I have submitted my AMV.

[LantisEscudo]

Just a heads up, there's only a week to the deadline, and we could use some more entries in all the categories, but especially Other and Romance.

Thank you to everyone who's entered so far!
