When is the deadline for these contests?

From the rules page:

Deadline: Your submission must be received (not postmarked) by Sunday June 16, 2013. Entries received late will not be accepted into the Otakon 2013 AMV contest, nor will they be considered candidates for the AMV non-finalist screenings.

How much gore is allowed for otakon >_> pg-13 ish?

If it could air on Cartoon Network, then it would most likely pass. We've VERY rarely DQ'd entries for violence, and those usually tend to be restricted to Elfen Leid videos. If you have questionable scenes, put them on a private youtube link and send it to me. Someone else did that last year and things worked out pretty well for him.

[Kazemon15]

Hm I submitted like a few days ago, no confirmation yet. Is this normal?

[NightMistress85]

I submitted mine some time ago as well. No confirmation yet, but I just assumed he was probably doing it in batches.

Was waiting to get a decent amount in queue before I started knocking them out. The first month is always slow. Will probably jump on everything that's been submitted so far, tonight. Confirmation only goes out once the file has been encoded (twice =p) and is tested. If you see it on the FTP server, then I at least have it.

Also still tied up in legal hullabaloo so the rules are still not official. The One Con seems to take issue with *gasp* sharing a form with AUSA

Ahh okay. Keep up the good work.

Personally, I thought it was easy to send the videos we wanted at each con to the same FTP account and using the forms to separate the entries, but maybe that's just me...

Nice to know that I'm not the only one who has to wrestle with a bureaucracy.
