Sorry for double post.

There has been some minor changes in the rules (nothing important or related to specific parameters):

We have eliminated the rule concerning AMVs already presented in other contests. Participants are now allowed to send in any video they want (as long as it theirs XD)

Sorry for any inconveniences.

We are counting on you!

P.S: We would be greatly honoured of having you around at our event.
