posting AMVs here before a contest

Post by Dragonrider1227 » Sat Jun 28, 2014 10:41 pm

I wanted to ask some advice and criteria on an AMV I'm working on for a contest but I was concerned if contests allow you to post an AMV anywhere before the contest. Is it common to post a video on a-m-v.org before it plays at a contest? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. This is my very first AMV contest and I'm very nervous about doingt this right. Also sorry if this is the wrong section. I didn't know where else to post this

Folks often post their vids here and on YT before competing. Most cons are cool with it, but I'd suggest you check the rules closely of any cons you potentially want to enter before you upload it. Some do require that it be brand new, never having competed or posted publically online.

I'll do that. It's Anime Boston to be exact and they say they want "freshness" but they mainly refer to that hen saying they don't want a rehashed or remastered version of a video you already submitted the previous year. They never said anything about not posting it somewhere else beforehand.
Thanks :)

Anime Boston specifies a freshness rule of "videos can't be more than 2 years old." It's the most lenient of any con that I know of that bothers to even have a rule.

That's true. I discovered the winner of this year's best drama video has had their video up on youtube since Decemeber of 2013. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21yChQn1IIM So I guess it's okay
