Why dont we just extend the deadline till the day before Otakon . .. so all these lazy ass people can get their videos in ?


Im sorry to sound bitter, but an extended deadline is just an insult to all the Amv creators that took the time to make sure that they got their shit done ON TIME.

am I crazy on this issue?

I agree.. is doens't bother so much that people have their submissions post-marked on the 17th.. it's all those who decided to squeeze out/make a video during the extension time.. and had no interest in making a video and entering anything into the contest for the get-go.. until they heard about the deadline extension.

That's the part that's not too cool with me. ...and to top it off.. it will be insulting to the rest of submiters (who took the effort and followed the rules) if any of those type of submissions win an award during the contest.

IMO.. =)

I agree too. I really have no clue how or why it happend. Hell, I found out from a submitter!(thx btw Jon) I'm suposed to KNOW about this stuff.

I only think 7 people took advantage if this anyway. At least that's the number of forms that were recieved. So if you don't get an email by June 1st figure that something went wrong and we never got the entry.

Well, I've send out conformations/invites to the mailing list for everyone I have an email address for, so chances are you have something by now.
It's comming from OtakonAMV@yahoo.com... so check to make sure your spam filters didn't block this.

Currently what WILL be taking place is open screenings of ALL submitted AMV's that made the prescreening tapes, the contest itself, an AMV pannel, and an AMV workshop.
One POSSIBLE, but as yet unconfirmed addition may be a "consolation screening" of videos that didn't quite make the cun for the contest. Though I don't know if this is going to happen or not.

How will we know if our vids made the cut or not? (I mean before the con. I'm sure that i'll find out soon enough at the con, but will we be notified prior?)

Yes, the people who make the cut for the contest will be notified by email, in addition the creators names and studio names of the finalists will be announced here.
