Right, I had the same problem you have now 'bout three weeks ago, so let's see:

I came to realise that us people living over the hills (and seas) and far away need to make online submissions via something called FTP ("File Transfer Protocol" says Wikipedia). Now, when those three letters made me go "eh...?", my technical saviour told me to download "Filezilla" and gave me this link: http://www.w3hub.org/doc/filezilla/

After you do that, just follow the link given in the first post to the Anime USA website, then go to Submission via FTP (way down at the bottom), sign up for an account, fill in the submission form, get your FTP account details and use those to upload your masterpiece using Filezilla. -deep breath-

Hope it helps... And if it doesn't help because I said something wrong over here, then you'll most likely get a lot better advice from an older--wiser--user whilst I get bashed over the head with a cyber-hanbō for trying to be a smart-ass newbie.

Aww, sad, I wanted to finish my new amv for that contest, but looks like I won't make it. Guess i'll only enter an older one then. Anyway, sounds like fun, hope you get lots of submissions :3

Done mine! Just need to do a few extra things on FX!
I spent a whole night last night - like 6 hours straight so I had no sleep!

Sooooo freaking close. Vegas is not co-operating. Just trying to rerender with fixes since my last versions and make a few new touch-ups in avisynth. IT. SHOULD. NOT. BE. SO. HARD. TO. RENDER. IN. 23.976 PROGRESSIVE 720x480!

Please check my submissions. Name under auman311.
I have not submitt in MPEG1/2 format since I cannot convert my audio to the require formats.
So I only submitted the whole video in AVI format instead of MPEG1 video and MP3 audio
I can be quite confused when it comes to encoding and converting...

Um, what encoder were you using to make your MPEG-1/2? TMPGEnc, for example, will do the audio along with the video in one painless shot. Also, you shouldn't be using MP3 audio for an MPEG-1/2 file anyway (I forget why, but it probably has to do with the hardware that the contests use to play back the files).
