Chris:

Thanks for being stup... Generous enough to volunteer your time to run the SK AMV contest again.

May I suggest that AX had the coolest idea ever this year, for their amv contest prizes, by giving a director's chair, autographed by all the Japanese guests of honor, to the winner of each official catetgory?

Director's chairs are not very expensive, but if you could get autographs on them, they would become precious memorabilia, that would be nearly priceles to the winning participants. (well, me at least)

I plan to have an AMV presence there, (as well as attending)
, but a prize like that would guarantee my absolute best effort, not just some video that I thought was pretty decent.

I know the above sounds bad, but if I spend 200+ hours on a video....

Thanks! I was concerned about competition for the position because I don't believe most people know what it takes to actually run the contest. It certainly takes a lot of time, but it also takes a lot of organizational skills and the finances to be able to purchase items before you're reimbursed.

In the past, Sakura-Con has traditionally given Black Clapboards to the category winners and the backs were all signed (or doodled, or whatever) by the Guests of Honor. This year I plan on getting actual etched trophies for the category winners (in the shape of clapboards), and then do the "big signed item" for the Best of Show winner. I haven't decided what kind of item it would be, but the director's chair would be a great option.

Comments are highly encouraged, but regarding prizes and awards, don't let the cost of an award keep you from suggesting it. My budget is due soon and I would rather ask for the world and expect a little, than ask for a little and get nothing...

Thanks again for the comments!

This year we will be allowing 3 videos from each studio. Hopefully we can get a larger variety of videos by allowing more entries...

We also play anime music videos in "The Wired". The Wired was our arcade/lan gaming/dance floor/theater room.
