Rules
The rules are fairly few, but nonetheless important:
- Submissions must be encoded using the Theora video codec. Versions are
freely available for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux platform, though it will
most likely be necessary for entrants to install the software as it does not
come standard with those systems.
- The film should not appear on the Internet in any other form than
Theora-encoded video before the contest judging has been complete. Once the
winners are announced, entrants are free to post their film in other
formats. A trailer (up to 30 seconds in length) for each submission may be
released in any format the director wishes.
- A judging panel composed of varioius people will be selected by
Eventide, and judging will be carried out as described below.
- The submission deadline is noon, May 12th, 2007
UTC (view
deadline time in various cities around the globe).
