Yaoicon 2012 Deadline Extended - Call for entries

[The Wired Knight]

The yaoicon 2012 deadline has been extended till October 5th 2012. This is a full two week extension (I cannot extend it any longer since the contest is the week following that).

Due ot the contest rules gettin posted late on the website (late by a full six months which is why I posted them here) I have a SEVERE shortage of entries this year. So I need whatever I can get so please let me know if you intend to submit or can assist in submissions as I am heavily short on videos this year.

Please note that videos do not have to be yaoi based - you can submit via the theme this year which is The Far East which means anything pertaining to the history of east asian countries (think Sengoku Basara or Fushigi Yuugi). The only rule otherwise is that we do not accept videos that feature Male x Female relationships as this goes against yaoicon policy.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi!
I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it in time but I am working on an amv right now that I would love to submit.
As I said I'm not sure if I'm going to make it but I'll do my best

[The Wired Knight]

Ok this plea is now desperate. The AMV contest, due to the rules not getting posted till four months late right now has a FRIGHTENINGLY low number of entries, this is now at a red alert point and I MAY have to cancel the contest due to the shortage of entries (it would just become an expo showing at that point - this is the backup plan).

So I implore everybody to reach out and send entries within the next two weeks and/or contact other editors who have entered before to please send something to the con.

If I finish my T&B vid in time it's yours.

I know this is yaoicon and not yuricon, but would you take a female x female video?

[The Wired Knight]

We can't, that's one of the steadfast rules (video particularly would not go over well with the crowd).

[BasharOfTheAges]

Any sort of freshness rule? Or links to any rules at all?

[The Wired Knight]

Rules are posted at www.yaoicon.com

Also here on the org http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... 5&t=109531

No freshness rule is in place.

This may be a silly question but, when you say MPG are you including MPG4?

[The Wired Knight]

Yeah, mpeg4 is fine, reading mpg is a relic of the older years that I've left as a catchall for all mpeg formats since.
