chaeseco 0 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) Everyone, Things have finally been checked and balanced. Thank you for your patience on this matter. The rules have been finally posted here: http://www.otakon.com/events_amv.asp Edited April 24, 2008 by chaeseco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.Schala. 0 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I have a couple questions... 1. Can we submit an AMV that we submitted a previous year to Otakon, but did NOT make it into the final competition? 2. I know studio bumpers aren't allowed, but I wanted to dedicate my AMV. If I have a dedication prior to the AMV starting, is this considered a "bumper" and not allowed? Thanks in advance!! ^^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The policy has been we don't allow submissions of videos that already have been submitted to OTAKON in previous years. 2. Submit it as is, if we have an issue with it, we will contact you and/or ask you to remove the dedication. Edited May 1, 2008 by chaeseco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.Schala. 0 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 About how long does it take to get a confirmation that an AMV was received/tested? This was my first time doing FTP, and I'm scared it might not have gone through. >.< I sent it like 2 weeks ago. :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Incanus1225 0 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I entered last year and we were told to put 1 second of black before and after the video, is this still required? I didn't see it in the rules but I wanted to check. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't see it in the rules but I wanted to check. If you're submitting by tape, include at least 15 seconds of black leader before your video starts. If you're submitting digitally then no.

Otakumadness 0 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Hi there I;m kinda in the same boat as Schala I sent mine through Priority Mail back in April and I haven't received any kind of notice in my email inbox and I am I guess kinda paranoid that it didn't get to it's destination Edison, New Jersey. How long of a wait do people that put it through the mail have to wait??? Edited May 31, 2008 by Otakumadness Quote Link to post Share on other sites
