CON.TXT

We're now accepting vid submissions for the Premieres and Nearly New shows at CON.TXT 2023!

Vids for both Premieres and Nearly New will be due by 11:59 PM EDT on Sunday, May 14 (what time is that for me?). This deadline is firm. There is a slight chance that we may be able to grant a very short extension, so if you think you may need one, please email us at vids@contxt.club as soon as possible.

You don't need to be registered for CON.TXT 2023 to submit vids to either show, but vids from registered attendees will be prioritized if we receive more vids than will fit in the show. You will need to create a Conline account and join the CON.TXT Conline page to submit your vids.

PREMIERES INTEREST POLL

To help us gauge how many premieres we should plan for, please fill out this quick interest poll. This step is optional and doesn't commit you to anything!

PREMIERES GUIDELINES

We accept premieres for any fandom and with any type of content, but if it would be helpful to you to get a sense of the typical tone of CON.TXT vid shows, you can check out the 2021 playlist. Vidders may submit up to 2 premiering vids, or up to 3 if one or more of the vids is a collaboration with another vidder.

Prior to submitting, please remember that a premieres USB and/or DVD will be distributed as part of optional con bags, and by submitting a premiere you're allowing it to be included on this USB/DVD.

Full requirements and instructions for upload are listed below. In brief, we will need a YouTube or Vimeo upload and a downloadable copy to be included in the con bag USB/DVD.

NEARLY NEW GUIDELINES

Nearly New vids are those first posted online or shown at a con in the last year (on May 1, 2022 or later). Vidders may submit up to 2 vids to Nearly New, or up to 3 if one or more of the vids is a collaboration with another vidder.

Instructions for upload are listed below.
