That's it for A-Kon's 20th Anniversary AMV Contests. I think the changes we made in mixing the videos up and the short intermissions worked well for the presentation. There were some playback issues because of the different audio/video formats we had to contend with and depending on which player was used. But we found ways to work around them. Any comments or suggestions for next year, let me know and I will share them with the staff.
Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to all the editors who entered, and to those of you who came to see the shows!
'til next year.
