To submit your entries for the 2009 Anime-Beta Awards contest, please attach them to an email addressed to: animebeta2009(at)yahoo.ca (please use the @ sign instead of 'at').

Entries should be saved as a jpeg and renamed to include the name of the category they are to be entered into (for example: hanken.jpg). Animated entries should be saved as a gif.

Please note that the body of the email must include the following:

1) Your Anime-Beta user ID
2) The e-mail address attached to your Anime-Beta account
3) A complete list of categories entered

Submission guidelines:

1) Only one entry per category is allowed by any participant.

2) While you are permitted a total of 8 submissions (5 in the standard categories and 3 in the optional categories), you are not required to submit eight different items. You may enter fewer items if you choose.

3) The maximum width for all standard size cels or artwork is 450 pixels. Pan or oversized cels or artwork may not exceed 600 pixels on the longest side. You may submit artwork that is less than the maximum pixel size, however, anything larger than the maximum pixel size will be resized accordingly. Regardless of the size of the item, the total file size can not exceed 300k. The maximum file size for animation submissions is 800K.

4) Artwork that has received a Beta Award in previous years cannot be submitted under any category. Sequence mates of previous winners will be allowed if there is a substantial diffence between the two. If you are submitting a sequence mate of a previous winner, you must inform the organizers.

- 2005 Awards - 2006 Awards - 2007 Awards - 2008 Awards - 2009 Sketch Awards -

5) Unless there is an obvious difference, sequence mates in the same category are not permitted. Similarly, identical repro cels in the rilezu/repro category are not permitted. Whoever submits the artwork first will be allowed to use that artwork in that category. If you submit a sequence mate to an item that is already in a category, you will have the chance to re-submit another item in lieu of the repeated piece.

6) Categories with fewer than five entries will be eliminated. You will have the chance to re-submit artwork to another category.
