7. No Downloaded footage (clarification: RAWs are allowed if high quality footage)
8. Each video may only be used for 1 category
9. No Logos/Subtitles/TV station overlays.
10. No low quality encodes, if we deem the video unviewable you will be requested to send a higher quality version. If you are unable to provide one your video will be disqualified.

The categories are:

4. Romance

Prizes will be given for the following:
1. Best Action
2. Best Comedy
3. Best Drama/Horror

Submission methods:

Snail-mail (address is on the submission form)
Mega Upload/You Send it/some other web hosting service (e-mail the link to chronowraith[-at-]comcast[-dot-]net)
If needed e-mail/PM me if for some reason you need to send it over AIM/MSN

Submission format:
mpeg2 (guide)
any lossless codec (lagarith, huffyuv, etc.) however, do not expect me to deal with downloading a 2gig file.
720x480 is preferred(this means letterboxing might be helpful to you), however if you submit in another resolution I will handle the resizing/letterboxing. If your trust me to do it that is fine.
29.97 fps

Misc.
If we have more videos than we have time to show then the judges will decide which videos to cut and which videos to show. All those who make it to the "Finals" will be notified by e-mail so please be sure to include that on your submission sheet.


Also, since I cannot get access to an FTP server, if you have any more methods you can think of to send videos please let me know.

We are currently debating that issue. There is normaly a scheduled block where AMVs are shown (not for contest) but we are unsure of whether we will do that this year. Possibly it will become an overflow block. If you have an MEP you want to premiere there I can bring it up at the next meeting on Wed. or see if I can get an answer earlier by e-mail.

since there's no MEPs allowed, wouldn't it make more since to have 2 videos per person rather than studio?
KioAtWork: I'm so bored. I don't have class again for another half hour.
Minion: masturbate into someones desk and giggle about it for the remaining 28 minutes

For the most part limiting it to 2 per studio is the same as limiting it to 2 per person. But this has the added benefit of limiting studio participation.

I'll think about it and get back to you, but that could be very useful.
