Does anybody know if there are going to be prescreenings for this years Otakon. And if so when and where? Also did they get the college Maryland to host them again where they had it last year?

Or is it to soon to tell.

There will be two locations for prescreenings this year, one in King of Prusha, PA and the second In Baltimore, MD.

I can't give away the specifics on dates and exact locations to the public, but those who submitted videos and expressed an interest in attending the screenings will be notified as soon as we get our email problems squared away.

Ah, email problems. Last weekend, I wasn't available to take a call from somebody related to the Otakon AMV contest. I was notified that an email would be send to me on Tuesday, but as of tonight I haven't yet received any word. Are these "problems" the reason for the delay?

Sure are. Since we have been trying to send out so many messages at once every email provider we have tried to use (AOL, Hotmail, Comcast, etc) have all blocked the send because of an anti spam protocal they use limiting the number of messages you can send.

Yesterday (May 13th) I setup a mailing list to fix all this, so some time shortly after the 17th (the FTP submissions deadline) when we get every single form processed, everyone who submitted (minus the people who submitted and did not give an email for us to reach them) will have recieved a message from us.

I just learned that a number of submission forms were sent to the address for sending Tape/Disc submissions (which is different from the address the forms were suposed to be sent). Luckely for these people we are accepting these, so once they are forwarded I am sure that more people will recieve a conformation.

So if you have yet to recieve a message confirming your submission/ inviting you to the new mailing list, then please be patient as we are still processing submissions.

Ignore that.... If you send a submission, you will be notified.
The pPrescreenings are invite only, not public. That is what the con itself if for.

What's the point of having a pre-screening then? If it's invite-only you might as well just send tapes of the videos to the people you're inviting. Also, what is the criteria for being invited?
