Ooh, I may enter this!

Question; Are videos that have been submitted for other AMV contests allowed? For example, I am also entering my AMVs for Nan Desu Kan, so nothing has won nor do I know if it will be a finalist yet.

Yes you can! :mrgreen:

Note: If you do have other AMV contest logos (in this case, Nan Desu Kan), we highly recommend that you remove them before you enter them in the competition!

Hope that helps! :)
