AMV Convention Contest Question

I dont know if this is the right place to ask this but a convention I'm going to be submitting some videos to requires that you get permission from the company to use the clips for something like the Convention Contest.

the Convention is Anime Expo if you need to know.

Most domestic companies will quickly reply to permission requests via email, which are usually available on their sites. My dealings with ADV, in terms of getting club permissions, has required that I call them as they seem to ignore most emails. Pioneer is kinda off and on with their email responses too, so if they don't get back you might try calling them as well.

Well my problem is that I dont know who makes the vids I'm gonna be using...
I plan on using scenes from The record of Lodoss War, Vampire Hunter D and bloodlust, Ninja Scroll, and a few others

There a link where I can who makes what ones?

Try AnimeNfo. They list by who anime is distributed as well as a lot of other stuff.

In case you missunderstood the rules, you do not need to get permission to show your vids at AX, that specific article is a bit ambiguous.

One other thing..

6. Anime Expo® reserves the right to use any video footage for display and promotional purposes. Submission of a video constitutes as consent for said use.

12. All video footage and music used in the music videos entered into the contest is assumed by Anime Expo® to have been cleared for use in this contest. It is the entrant's responsibility to ensure clearance is obtained from the creator/distribution company.

What i get from readin both of those it seems they could use my Vid for promiontional purposes..therforth I'd need permission correct?
