Ohayocon 2008 AMV Contest Finalists

[VicBond007]

Hi all. Here are the finalists for this year's contest. We reviewed all of the videos on New Year's Day (yeah, we're that dedicated) and the highest scoring vids were moved on to the finals competition. As of now, it's 48 hours before the con, and we STILL don't have a definite word from the programming department as to WHEN we're having the contest, and if/when AMV Overflow will be. So yeah, here's the contest in no particular order.

Well frankly, after looking through the list, he's not the only one sending stuff that's been all over the place .

...and at least the video is awesome

[meyday]

This may be OT, but I want to upload my video (was a finalist, unfortunately didn't win) but there is no entry in the upload system for this contest.

Is it the organizer's responsibility to enter the contest, or can I do it?

[Rider4Z]

who were the winners?

[meyday]

sorry, i lost my ballot and I can't remember any of these videos by their title.

besides, I wouldn't want to steal vic's thunder.

[Rider4Z]

[meleechampion]

[Jefferys]

*waits* ..contest results?

I'm guessing Alan and company still have to get back into the PA/NJ area from Ohio...

This might take a while...

[VicBond007]

longdrive is long.

OK kids, here's the results. Categories and Best of Show were determined by the audience vote. We only had 500 ballots on hand for the AMV screening and handed them all out. We got a good 250 votes back. If you weren't present at the con to pick up your award, it will be mailed to you shortly.

HOLY F O_________O;;;

xD did NOT see that coming.

[yoshi1001]

Just curious if anyone saw my videos ("Duck, Duck, Psy"/"Hungry For More") in overflow.

[VicBond007]

There was no overflow. It was proposed, however Programming did not put it in the final schedule.
