That's a really bad idea. :?

Encouraging people to flood the AWA contest with a specific type of video made to your specs is only going to ruin the quality of that contest, and confuse the hell out of the audience wondering why there are so many panty-shot themed videos.

That's not to say that all of them will be shown at the con, but to compete in one contest just for the sake of actually qualifying into your contest doesn't sit right with me. You can only hope the AWA judges won't get really annoyed watching the same type of videos that aren't even intended for their contest.

It's one thing to say, "oh, I only mean to use the videos specifically from their contest that just happen to fit the requirements of my contest," but by giving such advance notice people will in fact only be making such videos for yours.

If you had announced these rules after their contest, seeking such already created videos, then it would have seen more like people were making the videos cause they wanted to, not because they wanted to compete against a very specific pool of videos.

Not to be all negative, I do have an idea for this since you mentioned the type of video you wanted, but it's very much for you and I'd rather not subject the people of AWA to it unless they know full well why it was made or even make it their own category in their contest.

Just something to consider, not trying to summon up the hate. :P

Yes I know..

I want it to be something like some of the expo/guest awards:

Gratuitous Violence Award
"Sick" Award
"Twisted" Award
Best Implied Action Video Award
"Carlos Stop Whining" Award
etc...

So, this is going to be something more like a guest award?
How would I be able to make this work?

I want to give this set away at AWA as an award.
Help!! :cry:

Are you a guest? If not then you can't give out a guest award. You could convince a guest to give out an award like that. I agree with doughboy that this is a bad idea how it is structured. I think the contest is a great idea. Making it tied to AWA is bogus though. Just have a normal contest. Let them decide weather they want to send it to AWA rather than make it a requirement. Saying that you will announce it at AWA can have the effect where people might submit it to AWA anyway. Either way, this requires a bit more thought on your part.

For now, the contest is being put on hold due to some negative thoughts about how it wouldn't work. Sorry people. Any help on how the contest could work will be appreciated. I just want to give this set away to an AMVer at AWA.

You could just come to my house and gimmie the dvds instead. Or not.

Why not give away a special "Hitori" award, instead of having to be a guest, just give it away, you dont have to be a guest to give awards, people hold contests on here everyday, you'll just be giving it to them at a specific location.

Just make it something like, you must attend AWA to win or something. That would be ok I would think.

The requirement of AWA attendance is gravy. It just makes a whole lot more sense.

Plus I'm sure Fluxy/MJ would show the winning video if they had a panel again this year. 8)
