Rules
1, First of all, no PORN! Bad language in great number (in the song) is also forbidden. The first time you nominate any of these you'll be disqualified, the second you'll be banned. If you're uncertain about what we think of the vid, send it before nominating it and we'll take a serious look.
2, You can nominate 2 videos each round and 1 co-lab vid! This means that if you submit a co-lab vid and one that you've made yourself, you can still submit a second vid made by only you
3, All fandoms are accepted. We watch everything that seems interesting, which this definitely is :P Both movies and TV-shows, of course, and anime and such things. Videos about the two last HP-books are also allowed, but pirated clips are not allowed. Therefore, vids about for example The Ugly Truth may not be submitted until the movie is out
4, You may enter your video into as many categories as you wish
5, 15 videos at least in each round, otherwise it will be closed. Last entry date for this round is on November 14th!
6, We'll give out 3 awards in each round (1st, 2nd, 3rd), and also a RU (starting January 2008) in the categories you nominate for. If we find some vids that we like but doesn't match up with those that win, we will give them Honorable Mentions. There will be 0-5 Honorables in each round, depending on the vids
(new from February 2009) If there's a category with 2-3 entrants, awards will still be given out but only 1-3 if there are 3 entrants and 1+RU if there are 2 entrants. If there is just one entrant, the video will be in the BotB automatically
7, You may submit a video in another round if it didn’t win the first time, but only one second chance!
8, All those who’s won (came in first place) during a year will be in the December-round (BotB, rules further down). No others may enter in this!
9, No clip theft! If you’ve taken the clips from someone else, we’ll check if you have his/her permission. Otherwise, you’ll be banned!
10, If you have a website, you must link us to it. And use the links were it says DGA and link to the DGA/Updates-page! (http://dragonscrystallair.bravehost.com/dga.html)
11, We accept all kinds of formats, but it would be easier if they weren't too big (takes a lot of time to download). We also accept videos from YouTube and such sites. If you can provide both a download-link and a streaming-link we'll be very happy 
12, Only nominate your own videos!
13, I can save spots for an upcoming round if you tag me about it. Each vidder can save 2 spots. All together I'll accept 15 saved spots. If you save a spot, it means that you can submit a vid 3 days later (this round - latest entry date for saved spots is the 17th of November)
14, The phrase of this round is “Because we have to chase him”. Place it where it says “Why's he running, dad?" (if there are only dots, the round's closed)
15, Please tag me after submitting, since I've found out that you can not trust Freedback completely
16, Also, be patient! We have other things to do than sit in front of a computer judging your videos. If the awards doesn’t come when the time was up, we’re just a bit late.
Thank you for reading!

2, You don't have to re-enter your vid, if I have a problem with watching/downloading it I'll e-mail you
3, If a class wasn't full in a round (had one or two entries), those vids that were in it will be in the BotB-round as well

Special
Honorable Mention - 5 videos that did not recieve an award in the round recieve this price. Note! If a video is entered in a category that is not judged, this video will get this kind of price if it doesn't get any other!
Best *fandom* Instead of Best Original, we've now got this category. It's for best video in a certain fandom. It will be two "different types" of it, read about them below. Note: in this category, only 1st place and RU is given out!
Best TV The video that best portrays a certain TV-show. Every judge gives out one of these
Best Movie The video that best portrays a certain movie. Every judge gives out one of these
Best *fandom*: January09-June09
During this time every fandom can turn into a Best *fandom* category. It needs to have 3 or more entries to be this. If we recieve three or more entries of a certain fandom it will be a regular award in the upcoming rounds. Ex: in January we recieved 3 Smallville-videos, so these will be judged in a Best Smallville-category. In February the Best Smallville-category will be up so that you can nominate your Smallville-video for it, even though it might not end up in 3 nominees
Best *fandom*: July09-November09
During this time, no new Best *fandom* categories will show up. Only the ones that have been created during the previous rounds. Ex: if we recieve 4 Narnia-videos in the August-round but there is no Best Narnia-category, these won't be judged in such a category.
