Tora-Con 2017 AMV Contest **Results will be posted very soon**

[ibmman]

Tora-Con is a two-day convention at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY. For 2017 we will once again be hosting an AMV contest, with screening and voting on both Saturday and Sunday. The school is allowing us to raise our attendance cap this year, so we'll have 3000 people on site! The AMV contest is also open to editors who will not be physically attending the convention. We do like trying to encourage entries from local editors as well, so for anyone in New York State or the Northeast US we'd love to see your videos .

What: Tora-Con 2017
When: April 22 & 23 2017
Where: Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY USA
Convention site: http://toracon.org/

AMV Contest entry deadline: March 12th, 2017 @ 11:59pm (Eastern Standard Time)
Contest Rules: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5b4rB ... Vwbk0/view
Entry form: https://toracon.org/contests/amv-contes ... ubmission/

Please read the rules before you send us your entries. Tora-Con is a family-friendly convention and want to keep parents (and the university) happy, so don't send send us videos with scenes containing nudity, or songs jam-packed with expletives.

Note that we do have a "freshness" rule, so we request that you not enter videos that have won an award at two or more conventions, or videos that are more than two years old (from their premiere) based on the date of the convention. This is in part so we can give new videos and up-and-coming editors a shot at getting into the contest. See the complete rules document for more info on this.

Prizes for winners in the past have included trophies/plaques, and gift certificates to Amazon, Rightstuf, etc. We have, when necessary, also mailed physical prizes for winners outside the US.

Email amv@toracon.org with questions.
Hope to see some videos soon! Spread the word around to your AMV-editing friends!

We'll also be hosting Iron Editor again, hopefully bigger and better this year, so let us know if you're interested in participating in that! You will need to attend in person to be able to compete in Iron Editor.

Fixed the link to the contest website, the page got moved so it was giving a 404.

Deadline for contest is this coming Sunday March 12!
Edit: in particular if you've got AMVs that would fall into upbeat or comedy categories, we're a little low on those at the moment.

Havent received any link to upload my videos?

There is a file upload widget on the page with the entry form- https://toracon.org/contests/amv-contes ... ubmission/
Note that you have to wait for the file to upload (there should be a progress bar and a confirmation message) before leaving the page. If you already submitted the form before without uploading a video, you don't have to fill in the form again, but if you didn't already fill in the form before- wait for your file to upload and then fill in and submit the form. Hope that's clear enough.
