The best con to submit an AMV to is any con that you'll be in the audience to see. The best con to see other peoples AMVs is whatever con you'll be attending anyway. Seriously, there's so much shit to do at a con that which has the 'best' AMVs is a pretty stupid way to pick which con you'll attend. Go because of the guests. Go because a con has a rep as being all around great. Go because you'll be able to met friends. But to go halfway across the country for the sole purpose of viewing something you'll be able to download within weeks of the con anyway? Riiiiight.
That being said, AWA is considered *THE* amv con. Otakon and Acen are probably somewhat high on the list just because they're large and the staff doesn't treat AMVs like bastard stepchildren of anime fandom. If nothing else, go to the AMV contests forum and investigate any con that has a high # of responses/views in there, those are the cons that others consider worth paying attention to at least.
