9. Formats accepted are wmv, mpeg1, mpeg2, avi, DivX. (No guarntee with wmv formats since I would have to do the re-encoding myself. So if you could use TMPGEnc and convert them into Mpeg1 or 2 format for me that would be great.)

11. Please no bumpers for the videos, or studio logos we will make the bumpers ourselves to keep them consistant.
12. Please include second blank footage before and after the video. (This will not count towards your video time. This will just make it easier to put the dvd together.)

Can I just send the info by PM and send the link the same way?

Sure why not. But remember this will be the quality of the video that will be shown at the contest. Make sure it is the one you want shown.

Read rule #2. You can have 2 entries. I just didn't want to recieve a third and then have to contact you asking which videos you want in and stuff.

Well it looks like we have right now about 8-10 judges for the contest so we should get some good results. And the attendence size for this event will be about 350-600 people. Since 600 is the most we can have in a day. Still a nice size crowd and trouphs for the winners of all categories and Best in Show and more. Help support Ani-Quest in there first amv contest. I maybe able to get some more prizes.

Thankyou all for taking intresting. Hope that some of you may decide to come to the con.

Just a thought: a brand new anime convention can attract 1000-2000 people easily. (Anime Boston had something like 4000 in its first year.) If the location is limited to 600 people (per fire codes, most likely), then the con staff should be prepared to cap attendance and turn people away, as unpleasant as that may be.
