For the Glory of course, Have you ever made an AMV or work of video art and thought "I wish I could see that on a huge projected screen and share it with the world(not youtube). Here is your chance.

Da Rulz

1. Anyone can enter the contest there is no age requirement for the contest. All submission videos need to have been made after June 1st 2008.

2. There is no limit to how many entries you can enter but only one of your videos can win an award in any single category.

3. There is no block on content for your submission, keep in mind that if your video is seen as 18+ by the staff it will not be shown at the main showing of the contest and will only be shown during the late night AMV block. Also keep in mind that live action and video game videos are welcome as sources.

4. Submissions can be mailed in(see Contact info at end) or submitted by Free upload sites. I will have a main account set up on www.megaupload.com . If you wish to submit to the main account or by any other free site you need to send an e-mail the the address is in the contact info . In the e-mail you must include the following.

E-mail:
Your Name:
Your Editor Name:
Your Video's Name:

If you are submitting more than one video you need to say how many and the names of all the videos you are submitting. If you are submitting by mail we accept CD's, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, and if you feel like submitting a BD yes we can read Blu-Ray discs but I dont see why anyone would send in a 20$ BD for a submission. When burning your entry, please do not make it a playable DVD or VCD – just a simple data disc is all that will be required. With your mailed submission plz keep in mind that you WILL NOT get your disks back so do not send your master copy. Also you need to include all the same info as if you had digitally submitted your video, Name, Editor Name, Video Name, and How Many( if more than one then Have All The Names).

5. File formats. We would like all submissions encoded as MPEG-2 as all will be shown by means of DVD in Main Events. We do take other file formats. Other file formats include AVI, WMA, DIVX, and MP4. We will convert all submissions to MPEG-2 anyways.
