Finalists this year where VERY close, how we decide finalists is by vote, I have about 15 preliminary judges rate each video on a 1-10 scale, enter the data in a spreadsheet and sort by highest average across all categories while maintaining at least 7 AMVs for each. Some AMV's didn't make the cut by 0.2 points, that's how close it was.
There where a lot of AMV's that I thought where con worthy that didn't make the finalists, because we are a 2 day con I didn't have the schedule time for an overflow panel. I plan on posting them as honorable mentions on the winners thread.
