Right folks, the Manifest Iron Chef entry is closing this Monday. I'm right now going to apply myself in the hopes of defending my title from last year.

Reminder that the competition details can be found here: http://www.manifest.org.au/web/index.php/events/amv-iron-chef

I will also use this opportunity to just say thanks to everyone as this will be the last competition I will be entering. Win or lose, I think I've had a great run and I hope I've inspired enough that others out there will keep up the spirit of Australian AMV making.

So yes, join up! However Manifest runs this competition, let's at least make it memorable.

Well it looks like they've finally released the rules for this year's IC competition.

Applications close 01 August. I am guessing that they'll bring it in no matter what now. As for how the contest itself will go, I guess we'll just have to wait and see on the day itself. I've asked them in who the host is going to be this year however back then they haven't decided yet.

I'm willing to reserve judgment on how this will turn out until after it's done. Seeing as how I'm champion from last year, I think it's my duty to enter too, isn't it? Who's game enough to take me on?!

I need your help folks! SMASH! has opened up it's online People's Choice Award site and as you will know, I've entered my Madoka video there. Where I need your help is in the voting.
