Alright, we're into the final week before the submission period begins, which is November 1st, 2nd and 3rd (Thursday, Friday, Saturday). Hope everyone has their entries ready. If there are any questions or concerns, please post them now or shoot me a PM.
I think we're good to go!

Ooooh! Caramel apples! Yum!

I was wondering... What happens when a section has too little entries?

How much time does that person have to submit another?

Someone was kind enough to remind me about the time zone issue. Thank you for asking! Times are based on Central Standard Time (CST), I've updated the original post with this info.

RoboFlonne, please re-read the rules for the answers to those questions.

I honestly don't think any of these categories will receive less than 3 entries, since everyone participated in selecting them. People are welcome to prepare additional alternate entries if they feel it's necessary. Some people have already voiced interest in knowing what categories have the lowest number of entries during the submission period so they can help fill them out. I will keep that information posted in this thread, so I doubt any category will be cut from voting (I hope so, at least).

Ooh with all these categories I might just have to take my shoes off to count all the votes this year

I have a question regarding rule 5 -

"5. Cels should be submitted "as is," with no graphically enhanced additions/subtractions or computer editing to improve/alter the image itself."

In the event that the cel is too large for the scanner to accomidate in one scan, is it acceptable to use a computer to merge scan 1 and scan 2 and then place this atop scan 1 and scan 2 of its background? No other tampering of the image will be done other than that.

Just want to make sure before I submit anything.

I have to photograph most of my cels since there is no other option than installing a 32bit Windows os, and there is no way we're shelling out money to have another os on the computer when the 64 bit version works well. Unfortunately there are no linux drivers for it. ... So all the photographs I'm submitting are untouched except for the allowed cropping.

I think the merging of scans for a pan cel falls into the realm that animated sequences fall into. There is no way short of large scanning bed or photographing it, that a cel can be digitally imaged in just one pass.

Great question. That is perfectly acceptable.

We're nearing submission time, so I hope everyone is ready.

I've got a question. One of the cels I want to enter is autographed would that be acceptable?

Interesting question. I don't think that would be a problem, as long as it does not obscure the art so much it makes voting impossible.

Alright, the count down begins!

The submission period begins tonight at 12:01 am Central Standard Time (CST) and goes on till Saturday, November 3rd, 12 midnight CST.
