Maybe the lack of interest is the mass amount of people who aren't eligible to enter.

Cons are getting more unpredictable nowadays.

Same here, the Masters have always struck me as being extremely prestegious. I belive that AWA is on the top of a very short list of contests with the prestige to hold such an event and that it is uniqe in the AMV world.

When I won a category at AWA last year, I was estatic at being eligable for the Masters compitition. Even if my next video is my best work yet and stands a good chance at winning awards at this or other cons I would give them up just to enter the Masters and compete head to head against the editors that I most respect.

I suspect it's more the quality of the entries rather than the absolute number. My impression is that people are more willing to spend time and effort for contests like the AWA Pro, Otakon, or AX where winning has a greater emotional payoff.

We try to accomodate people by playing their video when they are present. If you come up and talk to us, we'll play the video when you're in the room.

Check in early, though. If you come late in the day we might have already played your video, and we can't re-play videos.

Agreed. Throughout my years of entering AWA Masters, I have always made an effort to use any and every original idea I've ever had when it comes to AMVs. In fact, I think the AWA masters contest brings out the best work of several different AMV Creators.

Alternate Reality, Drunk With Love, and Vash the Desperado....by far I believe they are some of the best AMVs I've ever made and they were made simply for the AWA Masters contests. I hope to do this again this year. I already have a new idea and will be working on it this summer.

So if this really is the last year for it, then I will definetly make it worth your while MCWagner =).

Now if you could just get Jbone to take the contest seriously...you wouldn't have to sit through "Output Input Translation: for six minutes again Haha.
