I would like to publicly thank all of the editors who entered the contest - we had a ton of great videos this year. The Animefest Anime Music Video contest was featured in the main events hall this year, using the same sound and video set up that we used for the concert the night before. It was a venue that the videos deserved.

I'm pleased to be able to announce the contest winners:

Can we get a list of the finalists?

I'll be happy to post the list of finalists, but it will come on Tuesday, the 19th. I wear a couple of hats for Animefest (what's that? Con management having multiple duties? The devil you say!), so this evening and tomorrow are going to have the bulk of my time eaten handling on site issues. But, without consulting all of my notes to make a full list, I can say off the top of my head that The Signal was well received, both by our judge team and at the showing.

Full Finalist List:

No Berserker Black Rage? lol...

[MikeWilliams]

Yeah... I actually had a number of videos that didn't make the finalist list because they ran afoul of our requirement that "Videos and their music/dubbing must be suitable for viewing by a family audience."
