If you haven't been following Tora-Con's social media pages, you might not be aware that our AMV Contest is (finally) open for 2020! BUT it is only open until the end of February!
We were hoping to open the contest in November, but we were unfortunately held up by new requirements from our host university. We now finally have the go-ahead to start accepting submissions! I know this is not a lot of time if you don't already have an AMV ready to go. However, keep in mind that if you submitted an AMV to us last year and it was not selected as a contest finalist, you can try again with the same video this year (so long as it meets all of our other contest criteria.)

- Entries should be less than 2 years old
- No entries that were finalists at previous Tora-Con AMV Contests
- Entries may not have won an award (or awards) at 2+ other AMV contests at the time of their entry (our anti-sandbagging rule)
