The History:
The inaugural F Bombs for Charity took place at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2016. The project was run by MaboroshiStudio with the support of a growing list of editors as the project continued. To see some of the previous projects, please visit their Youtube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@theamvfbombschannel9653
The Charity
This year, The Video Art Track is proud to benefit The Trevor Project. Their mission is to end suicide among LGBTQ young people. They provide crisis support, counseling, advocacy, research and education to save the lives of members of the LGBTQ community.
For further information on The Trevor Project, please visit their website at: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/
The Project:
F Bombs for Charity is a multi-editor video project where editors are requested to submit their best, funniest, and sometimes rudest “F-bomb” filled anime music videos to benefit a great cause.
Each video will be tallied for use of explicit language (“F-bombs” and all the other words you were told not to say). To participate in this project, editors must donate $1 for every use of explicit language in each of their submitted videos.
To support creativity and make sure everyone has enough money for the dealer’s room (those Gunpla are not going to buy themselves), we will be limiting the maximum donation per video submission to $20. This is the maximum dollar amount accountable for each video submission regardless of instances of explicit language used.
Video submissions may consist of full length AMVs as well as short form videos. We encourage our editors to submit uncensored versions of their existing AMVs that focus on use of explicit language.
Video submissions are open to ALL editors. This includes event staff, attendees, directors, and those not in attendance at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2023.
How to Donate:
Physical donations will also be accepted during the F Bombs for Charity premiere event on Saturday, October 28th, 2023 at Anime Weekend Atlanta in The Video Art Track room.
For physical cash donations, please bring exact intended donation amounts (in USD). A designated donation location and/or person will be available during the event for collection. Further details on this will be announced during the event.
