Rules
* All entries must be received by Thursday, August 15th. No exceptions!

* Your videos must be submitted on one of the following formats: directly emailed to mwilliams@AnimeFest.org, a link to download your video emailed to mwilliams@AnimeFest.org or a CD/DVD mailed to the mailing address below. All other formats must be specifically approved by the contest coordinator prior to submission otherwise your entry will be disqualified. (Note: 4shared, Sendspace, Mediafire, and animemusicvideos.org links are common delivery methods) We do not accept entries that are just a link to a Youtube video.

* All entries must be CLEARLY labeled with your REAL name, email address, and phone number. (We will contact you to let you know we received your submission)

* Only three entries per person/group may be entered in the contest. If the submitted media contains more than three videos, the LABEL must CLEARLY indicate which videos are to be entered in the contest. If we can't figure it out, none of them will be entered!

* Traditionally, the Animefest AMV contest has considered Character Study videos to be in the Dramatic category, and Dance videos to be in the Action category. That being said, we appreciate when you tell us what category in which you prefer your video to be judged.

* Each video must be at least 30 seconds long and no longer than 7 minutes. These limits will be strictly enforced. This time limit does not include any opening titles or description text (which we may or may not include in the contest showing).

* AnimeFest reserves the right to show any submitted video(s) at any AnimeFest sponsored event until the end of time. Likewise, AnimeFest reserves the right to provide links to submitted vidoes or host them on our website and the AnimefestTV Youtube page. The creators will always be given credit for their work.

* All tapes/media entered become the property of AnimeFest and will not be returned.

* You do not have to attend to enter the contest to win. However, all winning persons/groups will receive an award plaque, but only members that attend the award ceremony will be eligible for prizes.

* Only videos produced within the past two years are eligible.

* Videos cannot include subtitles from any licensed release. You're welcome to add your own subtitles or dubbing as you see fit.

* Videos and their music/dubbing must be suitable for viewing by a family audience. Adult content will not be permitted.

* Although it is highly unlikely if you adhere to all of the above rules, AnimeFest reserves the right to disqualify any video for any reason.
