[l33tmeatwad]

I was planning on posting all the winners in here after the announcements were done, but I had a little bit of an eyeglass mishap and can barely see. They'll go up soon.

Thank you for all that you've done to keep those of us who couldn't be there informed ! With the twitter feed, I felt as nervous as if I was there...

I agree! There were a lot of amazing videos this year.

I still say the Lain video was a drama, not comedy, though.

Extreme Iron Editor Champions
Kiarrens and Drewaconclusion.

I want to thank everyone who submitted for making this contest simply amazing. I'd also really like to thank my Extreme Iron Editor contestants Drewaconclusion, Kiarrens, Lantisescudo, and OtakuForLife as well as our MCs for making this one of the most extreme years yet.

Other important non-results information:

1) Trophies / prizes should go out to the North American winners this week.
2) Next year's theme is 2012: Year of the Dragon.
3) Next year's venue is going to be in Manchester - the floor space of the con will increase by over 250% - This is the largest convention-friendly venue in the state.
3b) As a result of this move, I have petitioned for and been granted the run of an AMV room. I'm officially looking for staff.

I still say the Lain video was a drama, not comedy, though.

Thank you.

And yeah, the Lain video could've gone either way, I noted that when I submitted. But it was my understanding that there were less videos in the comedy category, so I assume it went where it was needed.

It also had most of our prescreeners rolling with laughter - it made quite the impression on the audience too. IIRC it was tied for first after the first showing.

cool beans and grats to all the winners. Lots of awesome vids and sure the crowds were pleased watching all of them.

I would have to disagree about it being drama. There is simply no way anyone can take that video seriously, it's very much a sarcastic comedy.
