Anime North 2024 AMV Contest | Finalists and Winners

[AnimeNorthAMV]

Greetings from Anime North!

We are excited to announce we are now accepting submissions for the 2024 Anime North Music Video contest. The deadline will be March 31, 2024. The details are located below (and will be updated on the official site shortly: https://www.animenorth.com/index.php/pr ... amvcontest)

As always there are three competition divisions in which to compete.

Open:
This division is open to any and all AMV creators who want to pit their entry against some of the best in the business. The winner of this category will receive the Northern Lights Award.

Novice:
This division is for entrants who do not feel comfortable entering the Open category. These neophytes have never won an award or prize for their work. In the spirit of fairness, you should consider entering the Open category if you have made more than 10 videos. The winner of this category will receive the Newbie Award and a promotion to the Open category next year.

Challenge:
The videos in this category must follow the year's specific Challenge

Momiji, our convention mascot, loves a good mash up! This year he's curious if the creators are capable of altering an anime's genre via AMV. Crazy isn't it? But crazy just might work. Go wild!

This challenge will take great artistic vision in order to edit an AMV that showcases the source anime as a different genre. The more convincing the production, the more points it will get!

For any clarifications, please contact video@animenorth.com.

Please ensure the AMV subscribes to the qualification and eligibility requirements in order for it to be accepted.

If your video isn't eligible to compete (made prior to Oct 1 2023), or if you have multiple videos you want to show, please submit them to the Exhibition category. The Exhibition videos are shown on Sunday at the convention before all of the contest videos.

Good luck to all of our contestants, I wish you all the best.
