It's not finished technically, but it has some lovingly crafted frame by frame.
and I didn't see anything about a score for completeness.

anyway i hope this can still be entered, it was a struggle to get this to at least be presentable in time!

Here is my entry for the open round:

It is terribly unfinished as I bit off much more than I could chew. I plan on finishing this very soon, but for now, it will have to do in its current state.

Everyone's submissions look awesome! All of you did a great job, and I'm looking forward to viewing the new ones that have come in.

NATA, you never favorited my animation, but I just got permission for the music!
Can you make sure i'm entered in the competition?

Please verify that you've gotten permission and I will gladly enter your animation with no late penalty. You can forward emails to me at admin@munchymedia.com, or contact me through PM

We now have 53 Entries.
Good job everyone.

Yep!

I'm sure if I upload a version with an ad on it, you wouldn't care, right NATA?

No, that's fine.

I've only succeeded in putting an ad up one time. I just tried it and it screwed up my animation. I put another file without the ad. One day someone needs to explain to me how those things work.

wow so many animations!!! and so much variety of styles ! its so awesome

Laughed. GJ

Here it is...I'm a little late to the game because Flash kept crashing on me, and Google Chrome kept crashing on me when I was trying to upload.

My god. And I was wondering if we would get 32. The cuts are going to be brutal this year, I'm kind of worried.

I shall try to watch all of them.

Man i'm excited :D Good luck to everyone!

NATA think you can copy paste all the entries that made it in in one post ?

Yeah, that's a verifiable crapload. I guess the tournament's gained its fair share of popularity in the past few years. Heck, a few more entries and they could've allowed for a bracket of 64.

Frick, I'm nervous mine's gonna get cut.

DID yOU REMBER TO INCLUDE MINEEE!!!?!?!?!?!

If you get cut, I will literally cut myself.

Oh, and in response to my personal faves...

Brilliant entries so far really enjoying looking through them all, just one question. I have looked through the NATA 2012 guidlines but can't see anywhere the rules on copyright music submission. ?

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/595314 heres my entry, hope everyone enjoys it.

p.s. worried about the music, I have looked everywhere but can't find anything on newgrounds about using copyright music ?

i dont where have you looked. But in the first post there is clear rule point.

* Absolutely NO copyright material is allowed without permission. If you use copyrighted music or other material in your animation, you MUST get the permission of the original creator of that material.

That was Hilarious! I can't wait to see that one finished.
The tournaments off to a great start, there are so many entries! I thought we'd barely get 32!
Well, time to go and watch them all now.

i hope i at least make it in xD

Judgement day! There has really been some great animators and storytellers in this contest, I would hate to have to cut some of them away if I were judge. Last year, I only learned about TOFA during some of the final rounds, but it's been a great expirience to follow it from the very start this time.

On behalf of me and myself, I just want to say thanks to all those who've entered, for all the amazing stories that I've gotten the chance to witness :)
