Timely. Yea I really struggled trying to balance the themes in my work, wish someone told me it didn't matter, it will be picked randomly anyway. I call rigged.
Gotta agree with you. I'm beginning to wonder why they give us themes that they want to see, when year after year they pick a few finalists who don't express that theme at all.
And I'm just wondering now... why is the contest gallery now empty? What happened to the 189 entries?
They'll reveal the WINNER on June, but the finalists will be displayed at Kinokuniya in Manhattan - but the date isn't given so that people won't send their friends or go there to vote for themselves...
LOl SAME WITH ME WISH EVVERY BODAY LUCK!!
but sadly im (might be) goin to the con because i live in brooklyn!!! lol but i might be too poor to buy anythin O.O
well even if you guys (and i ) dont win theres always a next year ahah
better luck next time all, but plz be a good sport and praise teh contest winner.. you might learn from that
If they changed the deadline time to an hour later for us people on central time, it would make such a big difference. I coulda been a finalist if that were the case (... or not XD) Ahaha, oh well. It sucks but I suppose I have to wait until next year... again. OTL
I submitted my contest entry but didn't realize you had to enter it through the challenges website since I had followed the links from the 'new york anime festival' homepage.
I didn't find out till later this morning that it wasn't part of the contest submissions. Is there anyway to fix this?
@Fullmetalrunt:
They didn't change it, this page has said the same thing since day 1. Finalists still get their tickets and manga volume (which I'm hoping is some SZS)
wait the finalists don't receive physical prizes? It definitely stated before that 10 finalists will receive 2 tickets and a volume of manga each...there's no way they could have changed it. Right?
Here we go again! *shrug* *cheap 80's sitcom laughtrack!*
I intend to take part in this like I did last year (check out my last entry!) http://www.theotaku.com/fanart/view/292425/mega-mascot_entry-_caleb. It's later this year because the CON ITSELF is as well (it's on the same day as the NYCC), but now I can get rolling!
Good luck, everyone else!

This year the Anime Festival contest is really tough. Some of the artworks I saw goes way beyond me. Luck to them all.

I'm late. At exactly midnight the submission closed. And then I had trouble submitting it, worked on my sixth try... :'( but it was too late by then.
Is there any way my entry can still count? I submitted as just a regular artwork now.
If not that's fine, I'm just really disappointed, I wanna scream!!!!

how long does it take for them to put your upload in the "entries" list? I've been waiting for a while now. Do I need to put "NYAF" on the title?
