UPDATES

are waiting for the next round to open here ? The
layout will be updated shortly and details of the new
round will be posted.

7.1.10 A little later than I'd hoped (the awards got snowed
in...) The Special Theme Round awards
are now posted. Congratulations to everyone, we had fun watching
these!. Also please check out our new affiliate - Bound To
Happen Awards. And finally this years contest is
open at The Fourth Wall, if you are looking to submit your best
vid of 2009.
Our next Normal round won't open until Mid February, so please
don't submit until you see the announcement. (
Aurora I have your entry so I will hang on to that for this
forthcoming round).
23.12.09 Viewers Choice poll has now been added to the Special
Theme Round page
here. Please vote for your
favourite. The Poll will close on 2.01.2010
20.12.09 The special Theme Round is now closed, thank you to
everyone who sent in an entry. If you don't see your submission
please let me know. I will try to get judges awards up before
New Year - A poll for Viewers choice will be posted shortly.
30.11.09 The entries I have received so far are now updated. I
hope we get more, so I shall be promoting the competition around
the place. If you know any vidders who may be interested please
point them this-away!
12.11.09 Although the form works for me, I'm not entirely
convinced so I have temporarily set up a 'freedback' form to
use. Any problems please tag. We've 3 submissions so
far which I will update shortly - love to have more :)
9.11.09 Theme layout is up. I would appreciate a tag once you
have submitted - I'm checking that the form is working, -
Please spread the news about the competition - You can use the
codes below. If we get enough entries I'll make 'vote for'
banners for the polls.

8.11.09 - Special Theme round is Open!! 'Tis the
Season' Send in those Seasonal vids, full
details here. . I shall
be back to put up the new layout and also we have a new
affiliate - Check out Destiny's site

23.10.09 I shall have more information on the special round for
you all shortly, so please check back later. To
enable better understanding of how we arrive at our decisions
check out the FAQ on judging criteria. They are pretty
straightforward, if anyone feels they need further clarification
on these, I'll happily answer questions but use the
contact email and not the tag board. And would just like
to state the following : The editing program used is irrelevant
to us at AvA, that's why we don't mention it in the
rules/entry form and after this comment won't again. It is
the vid we are judging, in our time spent watching vids over the
last 6 or 7 years, we've seen masterpieces created by the most
basic of programs and disasters from the very sophisticated.
It is a tough competition here and you should carefully consider
this when making your submission. After the next
Special Round the Art of Vidding Awards will move to just two
normal rounds a year, in Spring and Autumn. More information on
that nearer the time.
20.10.09 Finally the
winners for Round 14 are announced.
Once again the vids in this round were of a very
high standard, narrowing these down to just the top two (and
sometimes three) for each category was difficult.
Increasingly we find submissions that may have previously
won a category, miss out even on the Special Awards of Merit. We
hope you all feel that this quality of submissions makes the awards even more worth
while, just take into consideration the intense
competition and mind blowing talent on show here in each
round. We (the judges) enjoy watching each and every
entry we receive at the Art of Vidding Awards and hope you will
continue to participate in future rounds. And neatly
segued into news about the next round... its a Special theme
round 'Holiday Season' (because it will include more
than just Christmas or Yuletide/Hanukkah etc ). I will be
giving more details in the next day or two and just like the
decorations going up early in the shops, the layout at Art
of Vidding Awards
will be updated around Mid November ready for entries.
19.10.09 Award banners are nearly finished - I would hope to
have them posted tonight or tomorrow.
10.10.09 Finalizing the judging. I will be starting on the
awards this weekend, when I get close to posting them I'll
let you all know. Please don't submit yet, there's plans
for a Special Round that I will tell you about when the awards
are posted.
30.9.09 Just finished short listing the entries in this round.

4.8.09 Well events just conspired to delay the making of awards,
so apologies for the very long wait this round.
They are
now posted - Congratulations to all , a very
competitive round and a broad range of fandoms. Round 14

back in a couple of days to post submissions received so far and
update the layout, but then I will be away until 22nd

if you can get your entries in as soon as possible.
