The MTAC 2015 AMV Contests - WINNERS PAGE 9 - Awards SHIPPED

[GloryQuestor]

I noticed that there is no specific source definition under the Main AMV Contest section. Does that mean the main contest can accept all content types while the Contest Circuit cannot? Or did you mean that the Main Contest uses the standard must be anime as defined by the org rule? Or some other content rule?

It's not in the Main AMV Contest section, but is stated in the first section:

What can I enter?
An edited video production work featuring your choice of audio (mainly music) and any Japanese-originated anime video sources.

We added the text in the Con Circuit contest description to point out an exception to this primary rule.

FYI. From 6pm EST on Feb 17th to 2am EST on Feb 18th the FTP server will be down for hardware maintenance and upgrades. During this time the FTP server will not be available to accept any submitted entries. You can still submit entry forms and everything as normal from the entry system, this only effects the ability to create new FTP accounts and accept submitted entries. Do not worry, your data is safe on the server and will still be there after the maintenance.

Notification has gone out to all current entrants regardless of their entry status and communication will go out again once the FTP server is back up. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience while I replace a few broken drives and upgrade some pieces of network equipment.

Tonight's maintenance has been canceled. Turns out one of the replacement disks was DOA and I'm waiting a replacement. I am expecting a new drive tomorrow, however in preparation for this change tonight I have moved the contest data to another array currently in good health (along with a backup elsewhere) and pointed the FTP system to this new location. FTP is currently up and running and there is no plan to take it down for an extended period of time now. Instead, once the new array is up and running I will migrate data over in a rolling fashion and update the pointers for the FTP system as they move. I will not move any data that is currently being written when it is time to move and allow entrants the time to upload any entries if they desire.

In other words, the next maintenance, planned for tomorrow around the same time, will happen behind the scenes and should have no effect to ya'll. So feel free to use the FTP as normal.

TL;DL - FTP is up and ya'll can use it.

Entered.
I hope what violence is in it isn't too terrible.
Cartoonish but not graphic (as in "nothing on the level of Hellsing or Perfect Blue")...

For all those not planning on entering anything new please submit your videos early please. Unfortunately due to work I will be unavailable during the crucial month leading up to the con. The more we get now will be a great help... thanks everyone!

I made some tweaks to the deadline so it is perfectly clear on the deadline

Video submissions will be accepted from now until the deadline March 14th, 2015 at 12pm CST. A submission & FTP system is being provided this year for entering and uploading contest videos. YOUR AMV MUST BE UPLOADED BEFORE 12pm CST March 14th, 2015. If you wait until the last second your video won't make it to us in time. It is recommended that you setup your account a week in advance so you have your FTP account.

Also for clarification the Sword is the Bride's sword from Kill Bill... next year I think we might have Bud's sword with the engraving from Bill.
