Looks like in the past they've been pretty good at keeping up with their threads
The long-time people running it all resigned several years back.

Hey, I went on the website a little while ago, I couldn’t find anything about the entries. I’m curious, because I submitted two videos. If you could post who the finalists were and results and stuff, I would greatly appreciate it.
I was there watching it, from what I recall "bakugo set on fire" won a lot, perfect blue, some sad anime for romance, dr stone won best in show "bake a cake"

(Also lowkey hopes someone posts the whole list because I'm trying to remember the song from the nagatoro fmv for romance and drawing a blank)

Can you confirm this video won the action category?

It did according to one of the comments, but that's far from official confirmation.

Thanks. I'm as surprised as L33tmeatwad that the contest happened at all, considering the deadline to submit was the day of the contest. That must have been a legendary scramble. I'm happy to have won, but if they don't officially announce the results, and then they have the same deadline next year, I don't think I'll submit, even if it is my home-state con.

I'm surprised, but not completely surprised. They could have just thrown together something whether they actually had time to check out all the submissions or not and I assume the judges picked the winners, because I have my doubts that they had time to make ballots for an audience vote considering the deadline...but I could be wrong. That said, considering the radio silence I doubt we'll ever know.

Yeah, my home state con too. I tried submitting but they don't take YouTube links, first time trying something like this. Gonna try anime new York next for a submission with Google drive.

I wonder if they decided winners by just posting names on a wall and throwing darts at them.

You'll find the not accepting of YouTube links to be a common rule for amv contests. Coordinators typically need the files on hand for a playlist of some kind, not just playing back multiple YouTube links for an audience.

I had a comment on one of my YT videos about being picked for something but it could be made up for all I know.
