I’m getting the following error on the application:
“Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records.”
Trying to save a copy is only giving me a fresh blank form; is this something I’m doing wrong or is the a problem with the application file?

I had to sign the document for it to allow me to save it.
I just used my screen name to sign it. I figured that was alright.
I just tossed it at the bottom.

Screen names work. ^^

It is a bit complicated:
1. Open in Acrobat Reader
2. Click on the “Sign” Icon (3rd from the left)
3. In the box that appears on the right hand side, select “Add Text”
4. Fill in Document
5. Click on “Place Signature”
6. Write your name, and place it on the document.
7. Click done signing. This will bring up a “Save As” window.
Sorry for the complication.

Couldn’t get it working in Acrobat Reader; clicking the Sign button didn’t give me an “Add Text” option. Managed to google a third party workaround though and get it sorted/sent in.

I am soo sorry this may sound a bit stupid but I don’t understand the hosting and judging bits, what do they/you mean by this? D: sorry!

We’re going to have voice-chats (on Skype) in which you will get interviewed by the hosts, and judged by the judges with the opportunity to respond. The voice chats will be recorded and have avatars set to them for AMV Idol episodes.

OHHH thank you and I’m so sorry but I’m afraid I might not be able to partake in this audition anymore ;-; um… we’re moving house now and I don’t have enough time to make the video and the internet will soon be out for a while… so gutted but.. I don’t really have a choice… ;-;

I can’t seem to sign it either or when I try to save it, the program will only let me save a blank copy.
Tried searching for a solution but couldn’t find any.

Can you tell me which version of Acrobat you’re using? I just tested the file and it’s working fine. You can’t save it, you need to do a Save As and change the name of the file adding your screen name. That is explained on the pdf. I hope everyone is doing it. That is also a way for us to stay organized!

For your ‘real name’ are you supposed to right your full name?
August 23, 2012 at 7:25 am |
Something like “John Smith” is enough
August 23, 2012 at 11:31 am |
Yes, real name is your legal name, first and last. It will not be made public information.
August 23, 2012 at 9:34 am |
I can’t save the pdf, I always end up with a black copy.
August 23, 2012 at 9:38 am |
I’ve got the same problem as Rendakor :/ help please??:D
August 23, 2012 at 11:34 am |
Ok. There is a new and improved version of the application that is easier to fill out.^^ Sorry for the trouble before.
August 24, 2012 at 6:45 am |
so…. I’m assuming that Pet Peeve means thing you hate in amvs? >.<
August 24, 2012 at 12:44 pm |
Yes, preferably something that annoys you more than it necessarily should.
August 27, 2012 at 2:37 am |
On the application form is asks ‘Availability for: Hosting and Judging’ does that mean that’s when we would be contacted for interviews? or am i wrong?
August 27, 2012 at 3:31 am |
Your interview would be scheduled within that block of time. (If you’re free for part of a time-slot but not for the whole of it you can include that in “Additional Notes.”)
