Anime Banzai 2020 Contest - Viewing Schedule

[rukheotw]

Since the previous topic was locked I am starting a new one.

The Convention itself has been postponed until next year, but the AMV Contest for this year is going to continue. We are planning on doing an online contest instead of the live one. It will be shared with as many of our congoers as possible.

With that said the deadline is fast approaching, so get them in! September 25th, at midnight!

Quick rundown of the basic rules. Please see links above for the full event rules.

1. Videos must include anime related material, and video game content is allowable. We are shooting for around 80% content here. As usual, exceptions may be made by the panel of judges. Each circumstance is going to be different.

2. There are to be ABSOLUTELY NO BANNERS/BUMPERS either before or after the video. We will be adding our own bumpers for the contest.

3. Please no subtitles, watermarks, or credits of any kind. Just don't do it. It makes my judges sad. There are exceptions to this rule. It usually involves integration of some kind. Again it will be determined by the panel of judges.

4. No references to other contests. We cannot show videos promoting any other con/event.

5. Quality has really been a big thing over the last few years. We want your highest quality videos. This is starting to be 720p or better due to the large availability of high quality source. Not an absolute, merely a suggestion. I can accept very large files, so don't let that stop you.

6. Please keep it to a PG-13 rating. If you have a question whether it is allowable, please feel free to contact me.

7. You may submit a maximum of 4 entries per editor.

8. The categories that we will sort the videos into. If you have a category you think your video is best for, feel free to make a comment on the submission form. We will take it into account when picking the categories.

Action - Fast paced movement, explosions, fighting etc.
Comedy - If it makes us laugh, it will probably end up here. Parodies and trailer videos usually end up here.
Drama - It makes us cry, feel empathy, or tells a story.
Cat X - Anything that does not fall under the other categories. May include trailer videos, dance, extreme editing/effects, unique
concepts etc.

9. Last but not least. The video must not have a creation date any earlier than May 1, 2019.

You can always contact me here. amv@animebanzai.org

Do you qualify Avatar as "anime related material"?

[rukheotw]

Not really, but when we do get one I leave it up to the judges panel to give a final decision. They have been considered before.

Do we know the date/time for the actual contest yet? Or how is that going to work?

[twigglyfiggly]

They’ll probably say when they do know

Just finalizing everything for the showing. Plan is several scheduled livestreams this weekend and then have it viewable in google drive for a while (not downloadable).

As I get everything finalized, I'll post the links etc.

Thanks for all the support!

My Body is Ready only has my name credited. I sent you a PM clarifying it was a multi editor project and asked you to credit each member equally. You emailed me back acknowledging my request on 9/23. My team members contributed as much as I did to the project and each deserve to be credited. I only hope their names were included during the live stream which I missed today, but I will check tomorrow.

Looks like it got missed, made a note on my files, somehow didn’t make it. My fault. I’ll make sure it gets updated before our next showing. Getting everything ready for this was way more hectic than usual. Dealing with the deadlines etc, to setting up the stream was a first for us. Please send me an email next time as I can be quicker to respond.
