Submissions must adhere to the following rules:

1. Only 1 submission per person of an AMV you and ONLY YOU created.

3. Video must conform to site rules (No Hentai, for example)

8. Video must be loaded to ONE of the below sites and linked back to AO.
9. Submissions must be in the contest entries forum (Here) and follow the sample submission below.

* “good” quality means that the audio, video and effort are well done and thought out. Simply adding audio to a clip of consecutive unedited/unclipped series footage is not allowed. Also poor quality (YouTube-ish) SOURCE video footage is not acceptable.

Voting:
Voting will be via a PUBLIC poll for all of AO to cast their views on.

Quote:

Each of these entries will be reviewed and the voting will be based on the following: Theme – Each AMV has a overall theme, did the creator capture that? Footage quality – is their footage high quality or are there logos, subtitles or just fuzzy low quality footage? Also did they pick footage that helped them capture the theme? Quality of sound – is the sound crisp and clear or does it sound like a low quality midi? Also did they pick music that helped them capture the theme? Syncing - How well the music matches the on goings of the footage, this can be in the “theme” of the song; by the actual words matching the footage or that the footage matches the “beat” of the music (such as explosions). Originality - Is the concept or theme fresh and new thus standing out or is it the same old same old. Effort/Effects - Did the creator put time and effort into the vid using a lot of effects and blending the scenes or did they just stick a song to some random footage. (No where did I say anything about their opinion of the member, no vote will be based on the creator or their opinion of him/her) After considering the above please cast your vote as to the best AMV.
