2nd Ever Neko Studios Contest

[hanbun_neko]

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted you all to know that I will be starting my next contest May 20, 2005. This contest is going to be much different than the first, and more details will come, as it gets closer to the contest date! However one of the rules is that the video must have been made after April 1, 2005. This is why I am sending out this advance warning, so if you don't have a new video� you will have time to create one!

The categories will be a little different this time, so I will fill you in on these so that you can make a video for one of the categories for the contest�

Drama/ Serious
Action
Fun/ Comedy
Romance/ Sentimental
Trailer

Last contest I was kinda low on Fun/Comedy videos, and I have a feeling I may be low on Trailers as well. So for those of you making a video specifically for this contest, please keep that in mind!

• Videos must be between 2 and 6 minutes long, I was really lenient on this one last time, but the rules are much different� so I will crack down! The only one that is excluded from this rule is the Trailer category, since trailers are very short. I don�t want to see any trailers longer than 2 minutes!
  
• No Hentai please, need I say more!
  
• You will be allowed to enter two videos, as long as they are in different categories.
  
• Videos MUST be entered at my forum, but only after May 20th!

Those are the main rules you need to know right now, in order to get started on your videos. I would also like to inform you that space would be limited, so it will be a first come first serve type deal! I haven't decided yet how many videos I will be taking for each category, but I will know for sure by contest date.

For those of you who I still owe Ops and other prizes for� from my last contest, I will have everything done by the time the contest starts! So don't worry, I will get to it.

Any other questions, please ask!

well does your amv really have to be created after April 8th. mines was create the 3rd of April and if you dont mind me asking but why does it have to be created after April 8th.

[hanbun_neko]

well mostly because thats the last date i excepted videos for my first contest, and i didnt want the same videos entered.

I suppose i could change the date to April 1st, since no videos were really entered past that date... and i also dont think you were in the last contest, unless you used a different screen name on my site, so i dont really see it being a problem!!

[WBJ]

hey thanks. so ill join your forum now and enter my vid. but i got another question, were do i submit my vid. does it have to be under 2nd Ever Neko Studios Contest--> Pre Contest Stuff or will there be a new thread covering this.

[hanbun_neko]

Im going to make new threads under 2nd Ever Neko Studios Contest! But i dont want to put them up until May 20th...

Video Rules

• Videos must be between 2 and 6 minutes long, I was really lenient on this one last time, but the rules are much different, so I will crack down! The only one that is excluded from this rule is the Trailer category, since trailers are very short. I don't want to see any trailers longer than 2 minutes!
  
• No Hentai please, need I say more!
  
• You will be allowed to enter two videos, as long as they are in different categories.
  
• Videos must have been made after April 1, 2005! This is to insure that the videos were not in my previous contest, and it also makes it more exciting if not too many people have seen the video yet.

Categories

• Drama/ Serious
  
• Action
  
• Fun/ Comedy
  
• Romance/ Sentimental
  
• Trailer

How it's going to work-

• Only a cretin number of videos will be accepted into the contest, so it's a first come first serve kind of deal. I'm not sure on the number yet, but I'm thinking about 5... or possibly 10!
  
• Only Members of this forum will be able to enter videos, but everyone will be able to vote.
  
• Videos MUST be entered on my forum!
  
• There are going to be a lot of winners in this contest, so sign up ASAP!

Prizes-

• All the winners will get a detailed OP of their video, by me... and maybe some other MODs! Those of you who got an OP from my last contest can see how, hopefully, helpful my OP can be! Don't worry, any OP I still owe from my last contest will be completed... before the OP for this contest are to be done!
  
• Other prizes will be determined soon! These prizes may include (but not limited to) Banners, Gift Certificates, Manga or Anime, Home made DVD of Winners.

How I would like you to enter your videos-

• If you are going to be entering any videos into the contest, please send me a PM with a link to your AMV.Org profile. There is some information I would like to gather for some of the winner categories. If you are not using AMV.Org, I would suggest checking into it... or give me a link to where I can find some kind of profile about you.
  
• Once you've done that please enter your videos in the correct Category thread. Threads can be located here

Video Information-

• Video Name
  
• Anime
  
• Your Username (Your AMV.Org Username)
  
• Song
  
• Artist
  
• Description of the Video
  
• File Format
  
• Link

That's pretty much what I have right now! If you have any questions please either send me a PM, or post it in the Questions Thread (OF THIS CONTEST), and I will get back to you ASAP!!


Also Remember, I was kind of lacking in the Comedy/Fun Category last time, and I think I will be in the Trailer Category as well... So if you have something that can go in either one of those categories please submit them!!

[hanbun_neko]

Deadline to get your entries in is June 3, as but I'm only accepting 10 videos in each category... so submit your entries ASAP!

Here’s where we stand so far:

Action- 7 in, only room for 3 more
Fun/Comedy- Only 1 in, need 9 more
Romance/Sentimental- 5 in, halfway there
Drama/ Serious- Only 3 in, need 7 more
Trailer- Only 1 in, need 9 more

I’m not going to disqualify the categories that only have one or two videos, so if you submit something in one of those categories you have better odds!!

[Nit Ram]

Have you entered it in the AMV.org's contest calendar?

That's also how I got more people to join the contest held on this forum. I hope that helps and also post in your journal too since some people read them.

[Kristyrat]

well I'm in but yeah, if you haven't yet, the contest's page is a good idea, same with the forum, if you haven't yet, post a thread in the .org's "contest" (or something) section

[hanbun_neko]

Well im not sure what the contest calander is, but i do have a thread on AMV.org forum... Thanks though!

[Nit Ram]

The contest calendar can be found on the members main menu.

It should say AMV Contest List under Viewers Choice Awards.
