It's also a good way to meet another vidder! You don't have to be a Festivids participant to sign up.

We will probably do initial matching this upcoming weekend, but the form stays open throughout the challenge, so if you suddenly need an assist you can fill it out at any point.

This year, we've also added a "technical support for newer vidders" to the signup: If you're a newer vidder who might need a fair amount of technical support, or if you enjoy jumping on a zoom call to show someone how to use DaVinci Resolve or Sony Vegas, you can volunteer here.

That means it's time for Dear Festividder posts! If you have written an optional Dear Festividder letter, you can link to it:

Me too! Even looking at the list of requests is delightful.

Already signed up? You can browse a list of what everyone else has asked for at the signup summary, which also lists fandoms that have requests but no offers: archiveofourown.org/collections/...

The Festivids Buddies form opens up after vid assignments go out (so we can be sure we don't assign you to your recipient), but knowing the system is there can be helpful while you're signing up!

Sorry, updated! That's what I get for copying last year's spreadsheet.

Thanks so much to the Festivids nominations volunteers, who together screened 705 nominations - around 120 more than last year!

Also this year, the number of Umbrella fandoms almost doubled - our nominations volunteers screened 22 additional Umbrella fandoms this year.
