The AnimeUSA 2010 Thread (Results all up in here)

[TheLongshot]

Yeah, the people in the Action category were royally screwed by technical issues, and the Best In Show video almost didn't get shown because those running the room ended the contest early.

Nice to know my video was royally screwed. And I had high hopes for it too. Oh well.

I was speaking about Katsucon this year. The contest at AUSA was fine.

BEST IN SHOW:
I Love the Anime World by Otaku Lounge Productions

Gee, contest trolling much? This is what, award number 9? 10?

ACTION:
Winner: The Bridge Effect by Otaku Lounge Productions
Runner-Up: Break by CornDog VidVids (Ileia)

SERIOUSLY?? that's awesome. now maybe this'll motivate my editors to get me their finals for the rest of the project... *hint hint kaze*

Troll videos! Win contests! Give us entries! :O

And to answer the question, it looks like #7.

[Rider4Z]

if it ain't against the con's rules i have no qualms about entering.


and there's nuthin you girls can do about it.

I enter several contests, but if a video does well I withdraw from as many as I can.

This is something I research in the contests I help administer.
I go back over the last year's contest results on the 'org and count how many "major" awards any entry has won.
If it's won three or more, it's disqualified without prejudice.
I get rather irritated when I see a video competing somewhere after I know it should have been retired.
Move over, give others a chance, and make a new video...yanno?

I hope, for your convention's credibility's sake, that this is explicitly stated in the rules.

Always.
In fact, whenever I'm involved I make sure there is anti-trolling included.
It would be unfair to enforce an unwritten rule, ya?

Hey, I was the most motivational person here!

Sent you a PM about it.

Anyway, congrats everyone. Wow...I was so proud of my new video and thought it was really epic. Guess I was wrong.
