VAST Contest Rules, Short Version
(see long version of rules for full details)

Who can enter?
Anyone can enter the VAST Contest - attendance is not required, although encouraged. The only exclusion to entry is the direct staff of KK-VAST – all other KK staffers are allowed to submit an entry.

What can I enter?
Any video editing project may be entered by its creator(s). Entries are not limited to AMV’s alone – any work of original production video art is also allowed, which includes (but not limited to) live action, self-animated, and self-shot video work. Currently, there is no limit to the number of entries. The only exception to this are videos entered in previous Kawaii Kon-AMV / VAST contests - which are considered ineligible for entry into the 2012 contest.

Where can I enter?
There are two ways to enter the VAST Contest: snail-mail or via the internet (either thru public file transfer sites not requiring memberships to download or your own web hosting site). No entries will be accepted at the convention.

When can I enter?
Entry acceptance starts NOW!
Entry deadline is Midnight (or there abouts) on January 31, 2012 <--DEADLINE HAS PASSED
Winners will be announced at the conclusion of the KK-VAST Video Art Contest on Saturday, March 17, 2012

Why do I enter?
To win, of course! A 'Best In Showcase' will be awarded. Other prizes / awards may be included at the discretion of the KK-VAST staff, judges, guests, or the KK-VAST Director (meaning, me).

How do I enter?
Make a video, fill in the entry form, enter it and make sure it gets to us by the entry deadline – couldn’t be simpler. Preferred format is MPEG2 - other formats will also be accepted but they will be converted to MPEG2 on this end for display / archiving purposes. However, for the most control over how your video is displayed, it is suggest that you do your own MPEG2 conversion work.

Questions?
again, for full details, please see the long version of rules
Please post questions below in this thread, or email the VAST Director at kk.vast@gmail.com

Thanks again folks!

okay - it has BEGUN!

Hello all once again - this is the 'official 2-month to deadline' alarm!
ding ding ding ding ding

Remember, Kawaii Kon is a month earlier this year so consequentially, the deadline for the VAST is also a month earlier than it usually is. But there is still time!

Get those vids in folks!

[buma]

alright folks, today is the LAST DAY to be able to submit your AMV's into the KK2012 VAST. Please get your videos in for consideration - you have until midnight tonight.

[buma]

Okay all, deadline has PASSED! Thank you very much for all of you who entered. Please see first post for all entrants into the contest. If you entered and you name does NOT appear on that list, please contact me immediately via email at kk.vast@gmail.com and we can get it all sorted out!

Thanks again all for your great entries - judges will definitely have a tough go at it this year!
