Maybe it's just me having grown up with it, but there's that comforting feeling in watching the water spin down the sink the other way around. :p

Inconceivable!

I'll tell you what's inconcievable - driving on the right hand side of the road. How messed up is that?

you keep using this word... i do not think it means what you think it means...

LATE ENTRIES OPEN

I've received some feedback from people asking for a few extra days to get their entries done. To this extent, I will be accepting late entries until such time as the judging session happens. This will happen without notice and so late entries will be closed without notice.

Those who have already got their entry in, thankyou. You are garunteed to be on the list come judging. For those that haven't yet submitted, you'll want to get your entry in ASAP. Judging could happen next week, or as early as tomorrow. I make no promises.

Thanks for the extension i was sick and though i had missed out.

[Oversized Slingshot]

You're welcome.

Judging just happened and we have our winners. Naturally, this means late entries are closed.

Winners will be announced at the Manifest AMV Extravaganza at 7pm, Saturday August 21st, Australian Eastern Standard time.

And for the Iron Chef AMV competition, where the theme was "Carnival of the Animals." Entrants were given this theme with a 50% weight on how well they articulated this theme and provided with some material that would assist them in creating an AMV should they find themselves without any suitable resources to edit with - these were:
