New Service: Contest Upload System

METROCON 5: Florida's Largest Anime Convention

July 6-8, 2007

TAMPA BAY, FL, May 15, 2007 – METROCON's brand new Contest Upload System is now online! This system will make the process of submitting AMVs, Fan Films, and Anime Idol recordings to METROCON easier for everyone. Users can now manage their files in their own personal accounts and submit entries without having to mail in CDs or forms. To use the system, go to any of the contest pages on the convention website and follow the directions. The Content Upload System is a sub-system of METROCON's Volunteer and Panel System which allows users to easily sign up for volunteer hours or submit panels and events, and vendors/artists to reserve and pay for booths completely online.
