I'm one of those people who went all the way to a convention to see my video shown, only to have it not shown. :( I even had flown across the country for the convention, and they didn't even show it as exhibition. (after promising me they would atleast do that). I was PISSED. They want to make consulation to me of Free Admission the next year, but no way was I going to spend the money required to fly out there again.

Now mine was more due to technical problems. But I know how someone would feel. Then people really don't give a care about other creators, and seem to care more and more only about themselves. <sigh>

you forgot France :oops: :cry:
Oops....It's not that I forgot; I really didn't know. But I see from the contest lists that you got the Drama award in the Expo. Congrats!

I suppose I could have mentioned Canada and Texas, too. :roll:
As for other winners: ShonenDizzyCow is in southeast Asia; Turboneko is or used to be in Italy.

Yes there are - Ayacon had a contest a few months back which I won (jointly).

I'm guessing there will be more contests in the future.

The best place for UK news is (and always has been) uk.media.animation.anime on usenet.

Well, I really wouldn't say that. I mean there's nothing wrong with wanting to win. I guess people just have different degrees of "courtesy" that they would like to receive and at the same time offer (btw that is by NO means a slam on anyone else). (shrug)

Ok... here's my position. I so want to go to some conventions this year but on the 25th of March I'll be leaving for boot camp and after that I'll be in tech school for at least an addition 5 months. I would like to enter a video I'm working on but physically showing up would be impossible for me. After all my work do you guys find it unfair for me to do something like this?

Oh by all means submit. First off, it is your video and no matter what we think, you should do what you want. Also, your case is a bit different than the ones I am thinking about. I'm more frustrated when I see someone submit to like 10 cons (some times submitting just for the hell of is) to win 1 measly award. I mean...sending mindlessly to conventions to win vs. someone who *really* wants to see their work (a local) is a bit different IMHO. I'd be rooting for the person at the con since well..they're there :).

:) Thanks, I planned to send it out but I mostly wanted to see what others thought. I didn't want to upset anyone.

Local

Post by anneke » Wed Mar 05, 2003 8:32 am

If it's your 'local' conventions then send it to them. You may not make it but your friends will. Ofcourse your lucky you'll technically have 2 local areas. Your home and then your boot camp area. (You don't know if you may get a weekend off and can slip away to a convention). <shrugs>

At Otakon's AMV Contest we'd almost always receive at least one submission each year from an anime fan with an APO (Army Post Office) mailing address. It's no big deal: even though the bulk of our submissions come from Maryland, Pennsylvania & New Jersey, we've gotten AMVs from people in Canada (several winners, in fact), the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Japan, and once from Germany.
