Adult AMV Contest Rules
Spoiler :
Please do not add bumpers or credits to your AMV. Any videos submitted with such will be disqualified.
No audio may be taken from an English dub.
No subtitles/fansubs are allowed unless you add them in yourself.
AMVs with poor audio/video quality will be disqualified. This includes Interlacing issues, audio quality/distortions, etc., etc.
No visible or noticeable studio watermarks may be included in your video submission.
Freshness rule: Entries must not have premiered before Febuary 1st, 2016
these are adult amvs therefore, you are encouraged to create videos that are obscene, dirty, and all around inappropriate. However, we reserve the right to disqualify any material deemed too vile or discriminatory
Length: Please keep AMV video submissions over 45 seconds and under 5 minutes total in length. Any submissions over this length will be disqualified
Only one (1) entry allowed per participant (This does not count towards regular contest entries)
We will not tolerate or allow any plagiarism (which is defined as “the “wrongful appropriation” and “stealing and publication” of another author’s “language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions” and the representation of them as one’s own original work). Any submissions that are found to plagiarize someone else’s work or submission will be removed from the contest and the entrant will be contacted by Anime California’s AMV Team to address the issue. During the review process the video submission will not be included as part of the contest or judging until the dispute is settled. If the video submission is found to be plagiarized, you will not be allowed to participate in any future Anime California/Hanadoki Con AMV contests
All entries should be AT LEAST 75% Japanese animation or game footage.
Please submit your final videos in the video formats listed below only. This will help us greatly with giving your video the proper amount of time for review and preparing it for the contest. Any videos that require us to edit or change settings will be disqualified.

-Refusal to provide one's legal name will result in disqualification from the contest.
