Entry Submission guidelines UP.
http://www.ados.com/~guy1656/KumoriCon/2005-AMV.htmNew text is here:
E. SUBMITTING Your Entries:
1. [Mail-in address TBD]
2. Deadline [TBD]
This will be the 'arrived at above address' deadline.
3. SUBMISSION FORMAT:
a. EACH entry will have to be on CD-ROM, disposable ZIP-disk, or disposable USB ZIP drive. (in other words, no 'guarantee' you can get the media back - but I **may** have it with me at the con for you to pick up, if you like. You may put multiple entries on one disk.
b. EACH entry must be accompanied by AT LEAST one ten-second clip from the AMV. It may also be a 10-second composition made up of elements form the AMV, such as an 'AMV of an AMV,' if you like. You may submit a second, alternate ten-second clip or compilation and we will choose the more 'memorable' to be used in the audience-participation Review & Judging phase
c. EACH entry must include a HARDCOPY, PAPER form listing the information below:
- Creator's name
- Creator's contact info (telephone-#, e-mail address, mailing address for PRIZES)
- AMV Title
- Anime sources used (list up to 5 sources, if necessary write 'various' for 6th & subsequent sources.)
- Music Title(s)
- Music Artists name(s) by band or composer, also, if an OST, mention that series.
A downloadable form will be made available: {LINK to Submission form will be added.}
NOTE: Storing the information about the AMV as a FILE included on the medium is -NOT- equivalent to a hardcopy paper printout. If we need an item of information quickly, a person can shuffle through 16 sheets of paper and get to the right one faster than a computer can even boot-up.
d. IT IS SUGGESTED that each Entry and ten-second clip be submitted in TWO different types of encoding (such as one file in DivX 5.02 -and- another file in Microsoft Mpeg4 ver. 2, for example) so that in case we have playback or codec 'issues' with one format we can try the other without haveing to decode and re-encode in something suitable for the playback machine. So in other words, ONE entry will consist of FOUR or more files: the entry in TWO different codecs, plus its ten-second clip in TWO different codecs.
