Recent News and Announcements

Welcome to the 2013 event line up...

Submission Deadline: Monday, May 6th 2013

Hello everyone, we're back again in 2013 to bring you more contests and special events. Since we're all getting used to our new home this year, we are going to keep the format of the contests and rules similar.

Like last year, the rules are posted on the site under the "Contests" menu item for each respective event and the rules didn't change. We are going to continue with the miniVENT showings as AMV contest intermissions. Short films are going to be restricted, by event, to their maximum time slot. That means for our verteran Masters out there, you have free reign on the timing - so use it wisely. Once of the core judging criteria for short films will be "effective use of time". For those of you who are just getting started, want to try something different or just enjoy casual competition, the Standard contest is limited to 7 minutes which is a small reduction from the Fanworks limits we used a couple of years ago. To keep the competion scope reasonable, miniVENT submissions will be judged during the contest viewing but seperately from dissimilar content.

Last year I mentioned site updates. The good news is, I did eventually get everything I needed working, the bad news, I didn't make it in time for the show this year. We've had our hands full testing new equipment, making adjustments to our setups and process to facilitate changes required by the hotel move and, ultimately, working hard to make sure we can put on the best show for everyone. Keep your eyes open on updates to come about the new space and the contests.
