I've screened a video at a few cons recently that I think I would like to enter, so I am wondering if there is a rule pertaining to having submitted a video to another contest, and having won an award, that would DQ it from the PRO competition...

Like TJ said, there's no limitation. We realize that this means some people will be able to "see past the blinding" on the judging tape, but the blinding is there to help people try and be impartial, so everyone do your best to ignore who the creator is on any videos you recognize.

Making PRO a "premiers only" contest would throttle back the entries too much (like Masters' used to).

cool... awaiting FTP access.... and shipping DVDs tomorrow...

also, last year I remember that even though I was 18+ I needed to sign the parental concent part of the entry form. Is this the case again this year, or can those of us who are 18+ ignore that part of the entry form?

I'm having trouble uploading one specific video. The fTP information that it sends me is no good to log onto the ftp server. I've tried created the video twice to see if it was a fluke. I've uploaded a few other videos allready so I know i'm not crazy. Can someone look into this. The account name is mckeed15

ngsliver: Uh, no. If you & your studio members are all over 18, you just need to check the box that says "all members are over 18". If not, then those who are under 18 need to have their parents sign. Over 18s do not need to have their parents sign.

mckeed: Contact the e-mail address supplied on the rules page and request another account (explaining what happened to this one). Don't worry, you're not the only one who's having trouble, so we're starting to get a system down for dealing with it. Wayne's in charge of fixing those accounts, but if I forward the info to him, it gets even more muddled, so it's better if you e-mail the vat account directly.

I did that before posting this...i got my answer..apparently if you have a ' in a title it messes things up.

Just a few final tweeks and then I fire up the ol' ftp.

And last time I checked I was over 18... at least I have been for the past two years' awa contests. So no worries there. I wouldn't know how to get a parental signature anyway.
