AnimeNEXT 2019 AMV Contest (It's Over!)

Post by Scintilla » Sat Feb 23, 2019 1:49 pm

(UPDATE, 2019-06-11: Playlists for the non-contest-related blocks are available here, and the preshow and finalists (with contest results) can be found here!)



Hey,

I'm here to announce that the AnimeNEXT 2019 AMV Contest is now officially open! AnimeNEXT 2019 will be held June 7-9 in Atlantic City at the beautiful Atlantic City Convention Center. Come join us!

Contest Rules (PLEASE READ, even if you entered in 2018!)
Enter here!

As always, we do NOT decide what our categories will be until AFTER we have decided which videos are in the finals. So go ahead and send us your horror, your trailers, your psychedelia, and anything else that just defies categorization -- because in this contest, you don't have to conform in order to make finals.

We are accepting entries until 11:59 P.M. EST on April 20, 2019 (note, that's a week earlier than usual!). Of course, the sooner you get your entry in, the more time we'll have to work out any problems we might find -- so please help us help you, by not waiting until the last minute.
NOTE that the uploader form is gone this year -- all entries must now have direct download links. In exchange, we've raised the maximum file size to 2 GB, so you can really make your videos look pristine for the big screen!

In addition to our traditional chart showing the genre balance of current entries, we now also have an entry status list so you can see exactly where your entry is in the review process and if we encountered any issues or reasons for disqualification.

Also, besides the AMV Contest, we are currently very likely to get a dedicated AMV room for the first time ever, so we could use a lot more AMV-related panels and workshops! (The AMV Dance and the Sing-Along are amazing fun, but they won't fill a whole weekend.) You can apply for those here; the deadline is March 2.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again and have fun!! :)

Scintilla.

The rules seem to be a broken link. :)

Re: AnimeNEXT 2019 AMV Contest (CLOSED to new entries)

Post by Scintilla » Sat Apr 20, 2019 11:32 pm

And we are CLOSED! I still have quite the backlog of entries to check, but it won't be done tonight. But it's a good problem to have, so to everyone who entered, thank you!

If you entered recently, please continue to look out for contest-related e-mails just in case we have questions or find problems with your videos. Also please refer to the entry status list to make sure you haven't missed any e-mails we might have sent... and pay no mind to how long it takes to work through that queue...

Of course, even if you don't see your name here, we do always select a few of the non-finalists every year to provide our two preshows (one Friday, one Saturday), but I won't be revealing our picks for those -- you'll have to come see the contest to find out! Which, by the way, will be screening this year on Friday, 7:00 - 9:00 P.M., and on Saturday, 12:00 - 2:00 P.M. (with an non-voting encore on Sunday). We hope to see you there!

And watch this space for more information on all of our AMV events this year, as we're adding 6 hours of brand-new content to celebrate finally having our inaugural AnimeNEXT AMV Theatre.
