I would like to pass my personal thanks to everyone who took the time and put in all the hard work to make and submit your videos for this years contest.

The audience presentation and vote is currently slated for Day two of Anime Expo. Winners are currently planed to announced on the following day (after what will surely be a Monster/Red Bull/Bawls fueled night of tallying ballots). Exact time on the Awards Ceremony will be announced at the AMV contest on Day 2.

Look for some of those entries who didn’t make the finalists to show up in the Pre-Show.

Thank you all for your patience and support. We look forward to seeing you at the Anime Expo Anime Music Video Contest 2009!

Sincerely,
Michael G. Underwood
Director – Anime Expo Anime Music Video Contest 2009

Didn't make it in this year. Looks like Rider has to wait for me to upload my video. :P

Congrats to the finalists and see you guys at the meet and greet!

Looks like Sephiroth finally made it in after a decade of submitting. :shock:

Well, congrats to Ryv, Hagaren and Rider.

Zomg, I just realized, I'm also in the contest, indirectly, because of you. If anyone can guess why this is, you all get a cookie.

Holy crap!!!! I actually made it in! I thought my video was too light to make it into the finals. YAY!!!

Congrats to Ben (and Bryce). This will be the first year at AX where I can actually relax and enjoy the contest because I know I don't stand a snowball's chance in hell against your video.

Speaking of snowball's chance in hell, everyone else in the contest must bow before Rider! I'm putting my money down for this video to take it all - Best AMTV-Pro, Creators' Choice, Judges' Choice, Staff Choice, Audience Choice, Best of Show. It'll be the biggest landslide since the Kevin Caldwell era. If AX has any integrity, they'll start giving out the director's chair again, just so Rider can have one. She certainly deserves it.

HAHA.. I did entertain the thought...I wish... I spend too much time at cons already! Come to think of it, you should come to Sakura-Con one of these days and see the biggest dedicated AMV room in the world for yourself :D

Anyways, yes I trust digitalpanther to do a good job so I figured it was time to send in something again... You should find my vid very amusing as it's parodies a movie(s) you probably seen.
