Before they get mad at me, I just wanted to point out that <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... >Spyral</a> and <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... lvercat</a> helped with this video too.

Thanks for the official list though, there were quite a few awards I hadn't seen yet, including one of ours.

Gahhhh....... I keep forgetting to include that in the full list, 'cause I always think of it as an event, not a contest.

Ah well, if one of the moderators could add this to the bottom of the first post, I'd appreciate it:
