absolutedestiny will make an announcement post, usually in Feb. or so, and then submission deadline is May 30, iirc. There was some talk last year that there were so many CVV submissions that they're considering doing a theme this year to limit the number of entries. I was waiting for more info on that before starting mine.
Oh, are the songs pre-set? I was thinking of submitting for this year, but I already have a song picked for my idea. And it sounds like they already get too many entries. Perhaps I'll try for the premieres show instead.
There is usually a list of songs for folks to choose from but that's only if you don't already have your own song/idea. That's how it's gone on previous years.
Edit: You do have to claim your song though nearer the time because they need to make sure it's danceable and not already taken by another vidder.
Ah, I see. Thanks for the info! I've signed up to the LJ comm so I can keep up-to-date with everything. I'm pretty sure my song is suitable. It's disco, WOOT!
I'm quite excited. My vidding mojo is back and I've never participated before (although one of my old vids was chosen for a vidshow last year). Every year I see all the squee and frenzy on LJ and feel left out. I can't go, obviously (unless I win Lotto some time soon) but just to be a part of it would be great fun. I've really missed vidding lately.
It is fun to participate even when you can't go. To be honest I think it keeps the pressure to a minimum, attendees seem to get so stressed about their vids, I can't imagine putting myself through it.
It would be great to see a new vid from you no matter what the circumstances and I'm sure it'll be awesome.
