1.Most fandoms are admissible. The only ones banned are: all comic book-based videos except 300, The Punisher, and X-Men. If you want to submit a comic book video, I highly recommend Victoria's awards site, TXI. The Golden Compass, Eragon, Superbad, One Tree Hill, Seventh Heaven, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Charmed, Supernatural, Dark Angel & Jessica Alba, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, and the OC are also banned. No anime or animated movies!.
2. Crossover videos must not contain any of the above listed fandoms.
3. ABSOLUTELY NO: Nudity or pornograghy, discriminatory, or insulting videos. No political commentaries or religious videos. No videos containing content pertaining to or depicting suicide. Please keep bad language to a minimum (preferably edit out the "f-word", anything else is okay as long as it's to a minimum).
4. NO SLASH.
5. Music: Banned artists: Josh Groban, Justin Timberlake and any former NSync member, Fergie, Mims, Maroon5, and anyone from High School Musical (including Ashley Tisdale). Banned songs: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" or "Wake me Up when September Ends" by Green Day; "Apologize" by OneRepublic ft. Timbaland; "CrushCrushCrush" by Paramore.
6. You can submit one (1) video per round. There is no total-video cap on this round. Instead, THIS ROUND WILL OFFICIALLY CLOSE ON 15 SEPTEMBER!
7. You may enter your video into six (6) categories, starting with Round 21.
8. All entrants will be entered into the "Best Vidder" category.
9. Old videos may be entered, but it cannot be reentered if it wins. If it wins nothing, it can be submitted into the round after the next one (so vids which didn't win anything in round 13 can be submitted into round 15).
10. Any video formats are accepted. Downloads are preferred to be from 4shared.com, but any working site is fine besides YouSendIt.com, because I never get to the videos by the seven-day limit. Any streaming sites (YouTube, etc) are acceptable. **IF YOU HAVE A LINK BESIDES A megaupload.com LINK, PLEASE PROVIDE THAT. I always exceed the Megaupload limit, so only three or four people can submit links. If that's all you've got, that's fine, but if you have a YouTube or other downloadable alternative, please provide it. Thanks!
11. Do not steal clips to make your videos. If you're caught, you will be disqualified and banned from subsequent rounds.
12. ANY USE OF PIRATED *MOVIE* CLIPS IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. There will be no arguments on this front. Pirated clips include: clips that were bootlegged from movie theaters, i.e. people sneaking in camcorders; clips stolen from videos made by someone else; clips taken off of YouTube. Note: ANY clips taken from YouTube are *NOT* downloaded - THEY ARE COPIED! This undermines every standard held by fanvidders, and is considered stealing. There is no download function on YouTube, therefore clips, either movie or otherwise, that are taken from there are strictly forbidden. Clips ripped from DVD's or TV SHOWS (NOT movies) downloaded via torrents are allowed.
13. No slideshows, low-quality footage (i.e. setting up a camcorder in front of a TV to get clips), or animated movies will be accepted.
14. Judging is subjective and done by ME! Please, no complaining if you do not win.
15. Please link to me, and enter where my link can be found into the box that says "Where can I find your link back to me?" when you submit your videos. Buttons can be found on the Link Me page. A text link back to me is fine, and if you don't have a site on which to post them, just put that in the box. Please link back to: http://www.invinoveritasawards.com
16. To prove you've read the rules, where it says "When I get sad," please put: "I stop being sad and be awesome instead."
17. The theme for the award templates in Round 23 will be August Rush. This means the *awards* themselves will be August Rush-themed.. you can still submit any of the accepted fandoms :)
18. Winner of "Best Video" will be featured on the homepage of this website for the duration of the next round.
19. REMEMBER TO TAG ME AFTER YOU HAVE SUBMITTED! Otherwise your entry will sit in my inbox unchecked. Click on "Tag Me" at the top of the page.
20. When you submit your video, you are agreeing to these rules, and therefore they cannot be argued. If you have questions you'd like to ask, feel free to email me.
