IIRC VVC "Premieres" used to only mean premiering at a con -- Premiere vids could have shown online (until at least 2004 - Lum's Serenity for Firefly had definitely shown online).
ETA: Yeah, it changed in August 2004 after the con.
NEW SUBMISSION RULES [...]
Also, from now on, a premiering vid will be defined as a vid which has never been made publically available, either online or in a vid collection, and which has been made in the year before the con. (Previously, a premiere was just defined as a vid that had never before been shown at a con.)
