Now I would like to know does anyone know any anime cons here that feature an AMV contest?
The most viable one I found was the montreal animie expo and when i got a response hers wat i got:

Hello,

I would like to know if the expo is going to have an Anime Music Video contest?

If not, will there ever be one in future events and is there any other expo in montreal featuring this to your knowledge?

Thanking in advance,
Paul

Well, Toronto's your best bet for now it seems.

I mean, come on. I'll be (unless I'm still broke) going there in August from Ottawa, and I don't think it's that huge a difference :roll:

I've never heard of a con in Ottawa. I meant I was going to CNAE in August, in Toronto. Actually, I meant to go to Anime North too (and I surely will one day), but May was always a bad time for me financially.

Arranging either to stay with local friends or relatives (if there are any to be found) or splitting a hotel room with a few other folks going that way usually seems to be a good way to pad the costs. Still, not cheap.

Well, I hope they set up a contest for the Montreal expo, seeing how CNAE's contest (despite sometimes-odd winner choices) has been pretty popular in T.O. judging by how there has never been enough room in the theatre for the past 3 years (since the contest has been running).

We're working on starting a small one. (in early November)

We have enough people to charter a bus to go down. I think it's $225 for transportation, hotel, and entrance to the con. (may vary with how many people you share a room with)

Really? Excellent! Finally, a con I won't have to pay an assload to get myself to (I'm moving to Ottawa in less than 3 weeks)

From Ottawa? Well, if so... that does sound reasonable enough with hotel included. Usually I stay over at one of my parents' friends' houses, so it kind of ends up being cheaper, although hotel is sometimes a better option (especially when those friends are busy or away at the time of the con)

Definately keep us posted on this Doki. I <3 Montreal and using a con as an excuse to go there would be awesome, not to mention I'll be in Ottawa by that time too ^.~ (much closer than the Toronto region)

I thought we were talking about AN with the bus thing here :roll:

And there is a con in Montreal, http://www.hobbystar.com/montreal-eng/

Hobbystar also runs CNAE - so I wouldn't be surprised if they get someone there to do an AMV contest eventually. CNAE has only been running them past 3 years themselves.

Great! Is there any additional info as to the features and stuff, or is that still in the planning?

One day is fine. Hell, I went to Toronto for the one day con Nov. 9th last year, and I didn't regret it much...

Awesome! I have no qualms with one day cons, heck most of the time I can only make it down for a day.

As you plan more info, be sure to make a new topic about it. I'm interested in attending, I'm sure others would be as well!
