Well, Minion, in case you're unfamiliar, let me explain how an AMV contest works.
Step 1: You call for entries. This is the stage where entries come in from creators. You can limit your entries to only con participants, or place no limitations at all on who enters. (personally, I'm all about no-limitations as to where I get my entries from as I feel it increases the potential talent pool - important for a small contest!)
Step 2: You watch the entries with your judges and decide who will be your winners in various categories. Your judges can be literally ANYBODY (some contests use the creators, others have a panel they rely on, others simply do it themselves or have the audience judge by ballot).
Step 3: You show the videos and announce the winners.
Step 4: People whine about the contest on message boards.
Man, I can't wait to enter a video in your perfect AMV contest! Let me know when you get that up and running.
