The Music Video Exposition
Sunday, September 26th, 2021 at 11:59 EDT
Exhibiting a wide array of style of entries - honors our editing community through both standard and custom awards as decided by a panel of judges alongside our coordinator.

Peer Review Online
Sunday, September 19th, 2021 at 11:59 EDT
Formerly "The Professional Contest", a blind, exclusive competition where every entrant gets the opportunity to vote and decide the best of the best among their peers. Sometimes referred to as "the Ultimate Beta Test", a great opportunity to meet and talk shop with other editors.
P.R.O. is run on an "As Blind as You Want It" system - we ask that you not reveal your video publicly for the consideration of those who prefer a blind viewing.

Masters
Sunday, September 26th, 2021 at 11:59 EDT
One entry, one judge, one award. This contest, held every other year, represents our highest standard for both artistic and technical music video production. Entries are blinded and the contest coordinator alone makes the choice.

P.R.O. and Masters both reserve the right to first exhibition, which means the video must not have premiered online nor at any in person event before the Gala Awards Show at AWA 2021.

In addition to the main competitions showcased at the Gala Awards Show - there is an on site MEP competition where we provide the equipment and the footage, you bring your team, and throw down in the Video Art Thunderdome.

TL;DR: submit here, email Pilk at pilk.amv.vat@gmail.com if you have any questions. Happy editing and good luck!

I'm excited to be able to submit a video to the Peer Review contest this year after a long absence from entering any contests. Wish I could attend the convention itself, but that's not in the cards, unfortunately. Looking forward to a good competition!

Updated the rules to reflect proper deadline for Masters per Pilk's previous statement in the discord - the rules on the AWA site are inaccurate and Pilk has been informed.
