Q&A

Q: There is a duration limit for videos that can be posted on Twitter. Can I post in multiple videos?
A: Yes, in that case, you can divide it into multiple videos and add them in the form of replying to the post. However, it is desirable to summarize it as concisely as possible in consideration of the fact that it will be viewed by many people.

Q: Can I edit the video?
A: Yes, you can edit it as appropriate to make it easier for you to see. However, the presence or absence of video editing and the quality of editing do not directly affect the judging.

Q: Is it possible to apply by groups?
A: Yes, the representative will be required to post, but if a group of several people come up with ideas or program, it is possible to apply jointly. Please add that to your post. However, please note that the number of prizes is limited.

Q: Is it possible for one person (one group) to make multiple applications?
A: Yes, there are no restrictions, so feel free to apply. (In that case, please separate the threads.) However, please refrain from posting the same work multiple times by one person (one group).

Q: I have posted before the deadline, but I can’t find “like” by the aibo official account.
A: Sorry for your inconvenience, but please add a comment to the post of the work with a hashtag of each category after stating that fact.

Q: Can I delete the entered work?
A: The work cannot be judged, so please do not delete the post until the judging and awards are completed.
