Prospective Editors
So you want to be the next competitor at one of
our events eh? Not sure what you need to do? Well here's what
you need to know. We hope you are ready for a challenge!
First, you need to know which convention you
want to participate in. We host our events at many conventions
so it's good to know which conventions you would want to edit
at. It is always good to inquire a few months before the
competition or as soon as word is out that we are coming to a
convention. Doing so will get you into our pool of editors
before the deadline and/or when we decide on the editors for
that event.
Every event will not always have two new
prospective editors. Every so often our defending champion will
have to return to defend his/her title. When this is the case,
it is possible that no new editors will be in the competition
because another editor who has proven his/her self will be
taking their shot at the title. There are also grudge matches
that may take place as well when an editor who was beaten by
another editor decides to challenge that same editor again.
You will also need to figure out which kind of Iron AMV event
you want to edit for. Currently we have 2 versions that are
running at conventions and a third is in the works. These are
the Normal Iron AMV (PG-13 event), Hentai Iron AMV (18+
event) and Drunken Iron AMV (21+ event). The normal Iron
AMV event is the same one described in the our events section.
The Hentai Iron AMV event is much like normal Iron AMV,
except the footage available will be hentai and you will be
making a hentai AMV, and as such would need to show proof that
you are 18+. The Drunken Iron AMV event (currently not at any
con) is much like a normal Iron AMV event, except the footage
provided is both hentai and normal footage, and you will be
forced to drink a regiment of liquor during the competition.
Because of the nature of that event, you will need to provide
proof that you are 21+ as well as know and inform us of your
liquor tolerance. This way we can make the event as safe as
possible. It is understood that by agreeing to
edit in any of our events that you will need to adhere to a
schedule that we set forth. If you do not adhere to the schedule
then it will break up the smoothness of the event and could
cause us to have to cut your editing time short, and we don't
want to have to do that. You will also have to give up on going
to any events, panels, or other things going on during the time
our event is scheduled for. This includes the cosplay masquerade,
as it happens that we are scheduled at the same time as that
event quite often. Once you are sure you want to
actually compete then you will need to fill out the following
form found
here and submit it electronically via the provided
button. All the information on the form is required for tracking
purposes and will remain confidential. All promotional press
releases and such things will not include any of your
confidential information, just the name you provide us as the
one you wish to use for the event (in the event you do not wish
to be known by your real name). This information will also be
used to secure comp badges if they are available.
By filling out the form you will be added to our pool of editors
and depending on your editing skills will be called upon to edit
at the conventions you request to edit at if you are selected.
Keep in mind that we may call upon you to edit at other
conventions then the ones you select, however, if we do, we
would provide you with a comp badge and editing equipment to
help compensate you for the trouble of making the trip to the
convention. By putting yourself in our editor
pool you are not putting yourself in any obligation to edit at
any event you are called upon, and at the same time we are not
obligated to choose you for any event we hold at a convention.
If you are selected you have the chance to decline, however we
ask that you do so within a reasonable amount of time so that we
may notify the next choice with enough leeway that they can
prepare properly for the event. If you have any
questions feel free to visit our forums and post your questions
there.
