Something else I'd like to add. We're trying out a different method for screening submitted videos. As such it'll be a week or two before I can respond letting any submittees know if the video passed the screening test or not. If of course you have any questions or concerns beyond that, you know where to reach me.

I would say thank you, but I wasn't involved with the promo video. DistantMelodies and xElle, who are two-fifths of our judging panel, created this for us.

I left the full link below if anyone would like to leave a comment or hit the like button.

I just wanted to update that we have a month before we close registration. If you have a video, you'd like to submit we're welcoming all categories. Though I'd like to encourage any Comedy and Trailer videos as well.

Finally, for those that have submitted but have not been informed as to your status, I promise I'll get your response as soon as possible. And don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
