As long as the song maintains a fairly professional-level of quality (no severe buzzing, difficult to understand words, background noise, etc) I don't see any problem with it.

For example, something with quality akin to this english version of Magia would be fine.??

I was actually planning on using a song from her, so that works perfectly, thanks for the clarification. :awesome:

All current entries have been responded to. If you haven't received acknowledgement via email, please let me know ASAP.

In addition, if you've already entered 1 video, feel free to use the form again at any time before the deadline to submit another. We would like to encourage folks to submit 2 if you've got more than 1 you're interested in sending in! Also, while not stated in the rules, we do accept multiple entries from a single participant in the same category. So you can submit action and moar action.

We might change up the categories next year, but between a lack of time with the contest's late start and the fact that it would add an extra $100 to the Avatar Music Video budget with our current prize structure, it just couldn't be altered this year.

You're welcome to submit any upbeat videos to action or experimental and we'll move it to another category if necessary.

All current entries have been cataloged and replied to. If you haven't received an email, let me know ASAP.

I'll pin this in the opening post as well, but to answer a frequently asked question.?? Yes, we take MMVs (Manga Music Videos)? They are upheld to the same standards as the rest of the AMVs, and will ultimately be competing against fully-animated AMVs, so keep that in mind, but we welcome them to compete.

Just about 5 weeks now for the early deadline. 8-)

Aye, I was too, haha. The former coordinator ran it remotely last year after moving but it just wasn't possible this year for him to do so. There was some delay from transferring responsibilities, training, etc.

In other news, we're now open! First submitter gets a cookie.

Hi there! I have a question about the credits.
Spoiler :
I won't hide I'm planning to send Cockaine and Pandora for your contest. While for Cockaine I have a special project to deal with this matter, I didn't think of it when making Pandora and since the credits are a part of the video itself and don't take any additional screening time, is it possible for the video to be accepted? If not, what changes should I make?

PM'd you. :)

Folks, there's just under 1 month left to submit and earn bonus points. After that, there'll be 1 more week without the bonus.
