Saturday in Main Events/Gaming Room from 4 pm - 6 pm.

Let the video producer inside show off at this fan favorite event. Fans will compete for great prizes by submitting their amateur music and parody videos for judging by other members.

Categories and Judging

Videos will be judged in three categories:

• Best Comedy
• Best Dramatic
• Best Action

Rules

• All entries must be received by August 13th. No exceptions!
• Your videos must be submitted on one of the following media formats: VHS in SP (2hr) speed, on CD in mpeg or avi format, or emailed to the contest coordinator address below in mpeg or avi format. If you use avi format, include a notation of which codec you used. All other formats must be specifically approved by the contest coordinator prior to submission otherwise your entry will be disqualified.
• Each tape/media 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/tape 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!
• 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).
