The Event:
The premiere is planned to be held at Anime Weekend Atlanta on Saturday, December 20th, 2025 *** in the Video Art Track room.
Changes for 2025:
Video resolution range is now preferred at 720p to 1080p (The “Azumanga Daioh” rule).
Winter themed videos are of high interest, so do with that what you will.
An award for the editor who submits the most videos / donations will probably happen.
The History:
The inaugural F Bombs for Charity took place at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2016. The project was run by MaboroshiStudio with the support of a growing list of editors as the project continued.

The Charity
The Video Art Track is proud to benefit The Trevor Project. Their mission is to end suicide among LGBTQ young people. They provide crisis support, counseling, advocacy, research and education to save the lives of members of the LGBTQ community.
For further information on The Trevor Project, please visit their website at: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/
The Project:
F Bombs for Charity is a multi-editor video project (MEP) where editors are requested to submit their best, funniest, and sometimes rudest “F-bomb” filled anime music videos to benefit a great cause. The project will be filled with both short form and full length videos, trailers and other various forms of media.
Each video will be tallied for use of explicit language, (“F-bombs” and all the other words you were told not to say as a kid). To participate in this project, editors must pledge to donate $1 for every use of explicit language in each of their submitted videos.
To support creativity and make sure everyone has enough money for the dealer’s room (those Frieren figures are not going to buy themselves), we will be limiting the maximum donation per video submission to $20. This is the maximum dollar amount accountable for each video submission regardless of instances of explicit language used.
Video submissions may consist of full length AMVs as well as short form videos. We encourage our editors to submit uncensored versions of their existing AMVs that focus on use of explicit language. There is no restriction on the video or animation style used. (Anime, western animation, live action, etc.)
Video submissions are open to ALL editors. This includes event staff, attendees, directors, and those not in attendance at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2025.
How to Donate:
Digital donations will be open during normal operating hours of the convention, (December 18th - 21st, 2025).
Further details about how to digitally donate will be available at a later date nearer to the start of the convention. Please check back at on this thread, or the official F-Bombs for Charity AWA Video Art Track page section at: https://awa-con.com/features/the-video-art-track/ for future updates.
Physical donations will also be accepted during the F-Bombs for Charity premiere event at Anime Weekend Atlanta in The Video Art Track room.
For physical cash donations, please bring exact intended donation amounts (in USD). A designated donation location and/or person will be available during the event for collection. Further details on this will be announced during the event.
