UPDATES
13.8.2010 - We have our last Fandom Finalist - You can see who
won the final battle here .
Also the viewers Choice Polls are now closed. We will be
back in a couple of weeks with Viewer Choice results, The Fandom
Finalist and Runner Up award banners, the top vids from those
finalists and the judge's personal choices from all 123
entries.
9.8.2010 Round Three winners
are now posted. We have all our
finalists except the
one fandom group. I hope to have that result in a few days. And
don't forget Viewers Choice polls
close on the 12th - so get those votes in. Once all the
finalists are chosen, the judges will select the top vids from
those along with their own Judge's Choices.
4.8.2010 The Round Three Battles are now drawn - after this we
will have all fandom finalist results except Buffy/Angel Group.
30.7.2010 The results of the
Round 2 battles are now up! We had a tough time
choosing between some truly amazing vids. Eleven more
finalists have now
been decided and we have seven fandoms still to whittle down.
Click on your names to collect your Round banners. I'll
post Round 3 battles soon.
28.7.2010 We've nearly finished the judging on the Round 2
battles. There are couple of matches (featuring the same vidders
unsurprisingly) that are extremely tough choices so we are
taking our time with those. Please note that the Polls
will close on August 12th so get those final votes in!
21.7.2010 Whilst you are all waiting eagerly for the results of
Rd2 battles why not check out these two challenges at ADF Awards
and Vision in Video Awards !

12.7.2010 The draw for the Round Two Battles has now been made
and the details are here .
We will try to get back with the results as soon as possible.
Once we have the final vid for each Fandom they will be added to
the list here .
Once all fandoms are decided, there will be award banners and
the judges will choose from these finalists.
8.7.2010 Round One results are now in. Wow, you didn't make it
easy for us (nor did the 'Hat
of Destiny
tm' either) There were some really
difficult matches straight off the mark and even though we
took different fandom groups, we had to consult on a
number of very tough decisions. There are awards for
those who made it through this round. All remaining
entries will go back into the hat (when there are more than 3
remaining) to be re-drawn for Round two which we will judge
together. We will repeat this process until we have one vid (or
two in the event of a tie) for each fandom and there will
be shiny animated awards. Remember to promote the polls as
there will be Viewer Choice Awards at the end.
5.7.2010 Quick note - I left off Valika's entry on the
SGA Poll so I have now corrected that and reset the results
(for just that poll).
Please place your votes again on the SG1/SGA poll. Sorry for the error.
4.7.2010 The Viewer Choice Polls
for the Fandom Face Off Tournament are now open. This gives fans
and vid watchers an opportunity to chose their favourite vids
from all the entries in the tournament. Polls
will remain open throughout. the tournament up to the very last
round . I'd expect that to be the end of August. So take a
code, post it on your website, vid page, Blog or journal and get
everyone voting. Look for results and award banners
for the first round battles in a couple of days.
29.6.2010 The 'Hat of Destiny
tm' has drawn the
first round of battles.
In the smaller fandoms there will only be two rounds. We've
decided to share the fandoms between us, so this should make the
process a little speedier. Winners will be posted as
soon as possible along with Round Banners and participation
awards, these winners will go back into the hat to be drawn
again. . Where there were an odd number of entries we have
three-way battles, with the exception of the Harry Potter
fandom, only one vid will go forward to the next round. In
the event of a close decision, judges will consult and a tie may
be declared with both vids being put forward to the next round.
Any questions please tag or contact us. There will be an
update on our progress in a few days.
27.6.2010 The Tournament is now closed for submissions. A
list of the vidders and the fandoms in which they have submitted
is here. If there are any
missing, please let me know as soon as possible as we will
begin making the draw for the Fandom Face offs.
25.6.2010 - You guys are awesome!! I have updated the
numbers from the submissions so far. We have 35 Vidders and 112
Vids!! We need one entry at
least for the following fandoms - BtVS/AtS, Leverage,
TSSC, Heroes, House, Farscape, X Files, Twilight. Spread
the word, we need these few to make the numbers even. The round
closes late Saturday night. If you are planning to submit and
need a day or so more please tag.
19.6.2010 New layout and number of entries updated,
links for the vids and the matches will not be posted until the
round is closed. So far we have 24 vidders and 78 vids, fandom
breakdown here. Not feeling any love for Farscape,
Leverage or Glee right now so if you know anyone who has vids in
these fandoms ask them to consider submitting.
15.6.2010 Great start but we need more - Fifteen Vidders and
53 vids already poised for the Face Off. To see the breakdown by
fandom go here Keep them
coming, new layout soon.
13.6.2010 Let battle commence!! Go
here to find out the
details/rules of the 'Fandom Face Off Tournament'. You have two
weeks to get in your entries. I will be back later today with
Promotional codes. ETA : Codes here (link back to
http://www.buffyandangelart.co.uk/ava/themesummer10.htm)
More posted later.


8.6.2010 Polls will close Saturday 12th Midnight GMT.
Then I will post the final fandoms and rules etc for the
Tournament on the Sunday. If we get as many entries as responses
it's going to be epic!!
7.6.2010 Well I'm back and there's a whole bucket load of
responses to the poll I posted below. Presently we have enough
interest to include all but three fandoms listed (no vids for
Bones, Glee or Leverage yet) and also these fandoms : Heroes,
Lost, Smallville, Farscape & Firefly. If you haven't yet filled
in the poll please remember to click all the relevant fandoms
and ' other ' and let us know in what else you would be able to
submit vids. Before I close the polls I will list all those
fandoms where little interest was noted so it will give everyone
a chance to spread the word and so take part. Click the banner
to go to the poll.

27.5.2010 Not quite the longest round in all history but pretty
close, it wasn't my lovely co-judge that held things up, but my
real life goings on that slowed judging more than we intended.
Thanks for all being patient, but you'll be glad to hear that
the waiting is over. Winners are here
and here.
And onto the speeches - this is something that
I'd like you all to consider when viewing the awards:
We truly appreciate the love, effort,
creativity and hard work that goes into the 'vidding' process.
We understand what it takes to put forward your vids to be
judged, this competition is only great because of the vidders
who take part. There are no poor vids submitted at the Art
of Vidding Awards, all are great to watch but not everyone
will have an award. Please do not be discouraged if you
did not place this round. The competition here is always
of a high quality but when we have this number of vids from so
many talented vidders, the bar is raised and it's even
tougher.
I'm off away for a week and if time permits I'll post the poll
to gauge interest in a special round this summer. ETA :
