Event Info
AMV Gauntlet is a team-based editing competition at Sakura-Con. This year's theme is The Ship to End All Ships, featuring sources with an emphasis on relationships, romance, and "shipping" characters. Only one team will win in this epic showdown!

Basic Guidelines
Teams must pick 4 sources from a roster of 10 (one of these will be made exclusive to your team). Each leg of AMV Gauntlet will have its own unique hurdle and secret source for the editor. These are chosen at random, and if an editor can successfully incorporate these into their team’s video, extra points are awarded to the team. At any point in the competition, an editor may also "throw the gauntlet" and ask for an additional hurdle for extra points. For detailed rules and to sign up, please fill out our form below.
