Hey all! Just giving a small life update on my end.

I'm currently scheduled to have a full hip replacement surgery at the end of this month. Due to this, my confirmation emails I normally send out may be a bit delayed! I will be checking my email of course, but I also need to focus on my recovery.

Thank you all for understanding and I can't wait to see more amazing entries!!!!!

Hey I'm going through the last minute entries right now and sending the last of my emails back!

The goal is to have the videos judged this week and have the results to you guys by next week. I super appreciate everyone's patience with me running the contest this year while recovering from my surgery. I usually always do this one solo so it has been a LOT but I love doing it cause I'm silly and crazy and love AMVs like that!

Much love to you all and best of luck!!!
