We invite all video makers to take part in the free spring video contest from CreaSpace.ru
Any amateur video can take part in the contest, which made of movies, TV series, games, sports recordings, original videos etc. (the only limitation is anime), and which wasn't premiered online.
There is no limitation on theme or genre of the video. No registration needed.
Innovations of a more "free" format: 1) now we accepting up to two clips from one participant, not including team works (MEP); 2) additional nominations for the final vote when three suitable applicants are submitted; 3) and immediate start of the contest, welcome!
Deadlines
1) Submission deadlines: 1 March – 1 June 2025
2) Voting for the winners will take place after the premiere of all the clips submitted to the contest.
Rules:
1) The video has to be uploaded to the server according to the deadlines.
2) The image (600x360), which shown on video page has to contain FreeCon 2025 in it.
3) You have to mention in video the following data: contest title FreeCon 2025 and site URL CreaSpace.ru

5) Each participant is allowed to submit two videos (not including MEP works).
6) Multi-editor projects (MEP) are also accepted (in addition to solo videos).
7) Anonymous works is also allowed (created by the authors with existing clips on the site, but under a new account). But it is required to inform at least one of the moderators (Samuel, Илья Чижов, Turbo). Otherwise, the clip may be removed from the competition, or there will be no access to the voting.
Exclusive video rules:
1) We accept exclusive videos only, the ones which were not shown online before the contest.
2) It's forbidden to publish your video on other resources (including YouTube, Vimeo etc.) before premier at FreeCon 2025. In case your video found on other site it'll be published as ordinary non-contest video.
3) After publication at the FreeCon 2025, the video can be uploaded to other video hosting sites, but with the link to contest page at CreaSpace.ru.
4) If you want to provide the link to your video at YouTube when filling in the submission form, you can upload it to YouTube as an unlisted video (means that only people who know the link to the video can view it) and make it public after the contest premier.
Videos that are NOT allowed to participate:
1) That were publicly demonstrated (YouTube or other resources).
2) That are made on Anime (for those there is a separate AMVnews and Akross contests)
3) That contain major technical errors: see the FAQ.
4) That are violating the laws.
Uploading process:
1) Create an account, if you haven’t one.
2) Login in.
3) Fill the uploading form (also choose the title of contest "FreeCon 2025" at the contest field).
4) Once you have submitted your video through the form, only you and moderators will be able to see it. If your video successfully passes the check up, it will be located in the contests page and announced on the main page. The announcement of the new video might be delayed to give the every video enough time to be discussed. If the video does not pass the check up or the moderators have any observations, you will see the message at your contest entry page. If the final version of the clip (with fully corrected errors) was not loaded to the site before the premiere date, the clip will be removed from the participation in the competition.
