All-Con
March 16-18
Dallas, TX

They haven't been added to the All-Con website yet, but I figured the rules can be posted here anyway.

All-Con 2007 AMV Contest Rules

A first for All-Con, there will be an Anime Music Video competition. Whether you’re an AMV veteran or just starting out, All-Con would like to showcase your creative work!

Rules

- All videos must use scenes from anime or video games
- Videos should be no longer than 6 minutes in length.
- We understand you are making an art form, however we ask that videos be reasonable with their content. This isn’t a Hentai Music Video contest, but tasteful nudity is acceptable. Music should also be reasonable.
- Each video should have information on the creator. We want to give you credit! It is also helpful if it gives the song and anime used.
- You are allowed to enter up to three videos, however you can only enter one for each category. If you submit more than one video, please specify the category the video is competing in.
- If do not want to compete, but would like to have us show your AMV, you may submit it for ‘showcase’
- Videos should be no older than a year and a half
- All-Con staff reserves the right to disqualify any video that does not fit the rules or has material that is deemed as too offensive.

Categories

- Drama/Romance
- Action
- Comedy/Fun

Judging and Skill Levels

- Videos will be submitted into one of two skill levels:
- Novice – Creators who have not won awards previous to All-Con or are new to creating AMVs
- Experienced – Creators who has a long history of making AMVs or have won awards previous to All-Con
- Awards will be given to winners of each category in both skill levels

Submitting Your AMV

-AMVs will be due by March 14th
- If your AMV is hosted online, please send us the URL to mekanimeclub@gmail.com and include the following:

Most anything should be fine. We won't have to do any converting to DVD or anything since they will probably end up playing directly from our main computer to the screen.

Also, in case anyone was wondering, you don't have to be in attendence at the con in order to submit.

Right now we only have 3 entries for the contest, so keep the entries coming!

Can you play mp4s?

Shouldn't be a problem. We usually use VLC and I haven't had a problem with mp4s with it.

The con isn't free, but if you want to submit an AMV and can't make it to the con, then that's perfectly fine too. ^_^
