Due to issues with CloudFlare and JotForm, some people have been getting errors when submitting their videos. The Expo deadline is hereby extended 24 hours, until Tuesday at 11:59pm Eastern Time, and editors are advised to paste a link to download their video in the "additional comments" section of the submission form (as explained on the form itself).
Greetings editors!
The deadlines have been on Anime Weekend Atlanta's website for months, and once again we have no major changes in the contest rules this year.
Anime Weekend Atlanta
Something to remember, Anime Weekend Atlanta is once again 4 days this year. The Video Art Track will be one of the first rooms to open, screening videos the moment we're ready and with official programming starting at Noon Thursday. Be sure to arrive early and don't forget the Editors' Dinner Thursday evening!
Web Site
The easy-to-remember URL is http://submit.videoarttrack.com/. The form will look pretty familiar to you if you've sent us videos in the past.
Complete rules are available at http://www.videoarttrack.com/.
- This is NOT a Masters year.
- The Professional Awards requires new content not released online or screened at other conventions.
- Explicit content is allowed in The Professional Awards and in The Music Video Exposition. There's now some tick-boxes on the form about this.
- The deadlines are September 4 for The Professional Awards and September 12 for The Exposition. This is a little later than prior years.
- Submissions close at 11:59 PM Eastern time.
The MEP Thunderdome
The MEP Thunderdome returns with a fully stocked private editing bay (Adobe Premiere CC) at Anime Weekend Atlanta that will be available throughout the convention. We will be taking signups for 6 teams of 5 editors each, with each editor given one hour in the edit bay to contribute to their team's MEP, Iron Editor-style, with a few twists of our own.
If you are interested in participating, gather your team of five together, come up with a cool name for you team, then have your team captain fill out the form on the Thunderdome website at http://thunderdome.videoarttrack.com/. Feel free to trash-talk all you like as you prepare to enter The MEP Thunderdome!
Thank You
As always, thank you all for your support of The Video Art Track and Anime Weekend Atlanta.
Daric "Jingoro" Jackson
Director, The Video Art Track
