The AMV (Anime Music Video) contest takes place on Friday. Anime Music Videos consist of clips from one or more anime series or movies set to songs. They are made by fans because they have a passion for an anime/song combination that drives them to show that vision to audiences.

All of our contestants are fans just like you who have worked hard all year to create the videos we will be showing off Friday evening. There are many
awards that can be won.

Audience Categories:

• Crowd Pleaser
• Best in Category (Four awards: Action, Drama, Comedy, Pro)

Judging Categories: (Voted on by our panel of Judges)

• Best Produced
• Judges’ Favorite

Additional Awards:

• Creators Choice (Voted on by the contestants)
• Staff Picks (AMV Staff pick their favorite entrie(s) )

Our Judges will be announced soon and as every year, we will have a Mystery Judge to fill our fifth spot.

Hope to see you there!
