Just thought I'd let people know about SMASH! convention in 2008 and its AMV Competition sponsored by Animavericks.
Official Thread on the SMASH! forum is here.

Animavericks AMV Competition

Want to put your editing skills to the test? Get out your favourite editor and show us what you have for the Animavericks AMV Competition!
Demonstrate your technical and artistic skill by syncing and arranging your favourite anime series in a new clip. Just try not to marathon too many series while searching for that perfect clip!

• Maximum 2 entries per person (this includes group entries in which one was the contributor).
• Videos are to have no visible subtitles/fansubs other than those which you have added yourself and have noted on your submission forms for the judges (this includes text from opening/closing credit sequences).
• The majority of source footage (as in 90%+) must be from an anime (or anime-style game, in-game footage not to exceed 10% of total time). Any other content will not be accepted. If you're unsure, don't hesitate to contact us.
• Entries can have been entered in, though not won awards, in any other competitions at time of submission. Any video found to have won awards at other competitions at time of entry will be disqualified.

WOW people have already sent entries. I'm going to download the ones so far over the next few days so if you sent an entry, expect a confirmation email soon.
Also, beyond saying the format is wrong or the video contains obscene/objectionable material I'm not one of the judges, so bribes aren't going to do anything.
