Major Change Notes:
--- This year we have officially removed the separate adult competition in favor of allowing adult entries to be submitted and compete alongside the non-adult entries in the normal competition for standard judges awards. There will still be a separate carded showing for these entries at the convention and it will be decided during the judging sessions which entries will be moved to this showing. For more details on how this change is being handled please check the Adult Entry specific rules in the rules document and the judging info in the Dexter rule document.
--- This year we are officially accepting entry submissions via Web Link Uploads! You will submit your web link via the entry status page. FTP Submissions is no longer the preferred method of submission and it is no longer recommended to use FTP unless you are unable to utilize the web upload feature.
--- Judging and Awards will be handled slightly differently this year, further info via the Dexter rule found here: http://contests.ngsilver.com/youmacon/Y ... andled.pdf

Re: Youmacon 2017 Fan Art Theater Competition - Rules
Quick note that while the rules are now available, entries are currently not being accepted. There is some more testing that needs to be done to ensure the database continues to work as expected after the web host move and that may take another week or so, but wanted to get the rules out there at least.

Re: Youmacon 2017 Fan Art Theater Competition - Rules
Submissions are now open. We have verified that the system is running as expected on the new server, including the email update features. Please note that as this is a new server you may find emails from the system in your spam folder so please keep that in mind. As always you can check your entry status right on the system rather then waiting on an email receipt from the system.

Less then 2 months away from the deadline. We have gotten some nice entries so far but are always on the lookout for more awesome stuff!
The entry system might be having some issues sending email notifications at this time. However all submissions have been processed to date so please check back on the system for updates.

Re: Youmacon 2017 Fan Art Theater Competition - Rules
Quick update. Earlier this week I switched web hosts and as such also email hosting as well (it was time to move away from godaddy as well as MS Azure as I'm loosing my free access soon.) This caused a few issues with the entry system and basically broke email functions all together. I also noticed that email features from the site had been having issues for some time after someone let me know they didn't receive the verification email when creating an account. All issues related to this have been fixed and from my testing email is flowing as normal now with all status updates and what not.
Please keep in mind that this is a new host and as such there may be issues with you receiving email directly to your spam folder. I've done what I can to ensure that all proper DNS records are in place and updated accordingly to help mitigate that but it could still happen so please check there. If you have any issues creating an account or receiving email please let me know at support [at] ngsilver [dot] com and I will do my best to resolve your issues.
Thanks for your patience and I can't wait to see what ya'll have for us this year!

Re: Youmacon 2017 Fan Art Theater Competition - Rules
Quick question on letter and pillarboxing: is something disqualified if it has natural letterboxing? I'm working with the video source Kubo and the Two Strings, which is filmed in a widescreen format. Is it alright if I keep it in its native ratio (which the rules say was accepted but wanted to clarify on that), or would you recommend changing the ratio to fix that?

Re: Youmacon 2017 Fan Art Theater Competition - Rules
We prefer using native ratio at all times. If you have a source that is cinemascope then we would prefer it in cinemascope. If you have a DVD that is animorphically compressed and you fix it so that it shows up right we want that. We won't disqualify a video if it contains letterboxing to maintain a cinema AR for the video (because in the end it will look correct) but we would prefer that letterboxing not exist. What we DON'T want is someone submitting a 16:9 source in a 4:3 frame with letterboxing so that when we show on our 1080p screens you only see half the size of the end product due to the letterboxing and natural pillarboxing. Also, the added pixels with putting said black bars in your video hurts encoding ratio as well.Kirbygal wrote:Quick question on letter and pillarboxing: is something disqualified if it has natural letterboxing?

Basically, if your video looks right played back on our systems it most likely wont get a DQ. We judge and show in widescreen, 16:9, on either a 1080p screen for final viewing at con and a 4k screen for judging.

Also, quick note for those AWA Pro submissions. You will not break blind or 1st premier by submitting your entry to Youmacon before the AWA convention itself. Due to the wedding I have not had the time to make a video this year and I keep all submissions to Youma secret anyway. So feel free to submit early!
