Tekko 2021 Sports AMV Contest

Post by GloryQuestor » Thu Nov 25, 2021 1:55 pm

(Finalists and Winners are here!)

Hello everyone! We at the Tekko AMV Department are working long and hard getting back into the groove of things now that we have a convention starting up again.

First, news about the AMV Theater. After hearing that Tekko was starting up again and that they may be carrying over the theme from the cancelled 2020 convention, we revived our Sports content for playing at the Theater this year. Sadly, we learned a little late (as in, just a couple of days ago) that they shifted the theme to their next planned theme, Cyberpunk. Since we put in a lot of work with Sports, we decided to not scrap all of our hard work and instead split the AMV Theater between two themes this year!

- On December 10th, you will be inundated with Sports Friday! With Winter Olympics around the corner, that day will be centered around the Sports theme that echoes what would have been with Tekko 2020, now in 2021!

- On December 11th, we embrace the new future of Tekko with Cyberpunk Saturday! Along with some great theater play and the main showing of the AMV Contest, we will be adding in some inspired distant dystopia and cyber tech a plenty!

- Finally, December 12th will be a theme mash-up day! While you can enjoy our contest overflow and our traditional AMV Sing-A-Long event, we will incorporate both themes in our splash pages all day.

Speaking of the AMV Contest, the one debate we had was how to handle the 2020 contest, as entries were all collected and were almost prepared for sorting when we were informed Tekko 2020 would be cancelled. We wondered if we wanted to do a 2021 Contest parallel to the 2020 Contest, which at the time we thought was going to also be Sports carried over, or scrap 2020 for 2021. We went with the third option: We carried over 2020 completely to 2021 and revived all the work put into it.

Therefore, the following creators are finalists for the Tekko 2021 Sports AMV Contest:

Thanks to everyone for your submissions. As this contest was a 2020 carry-over, in order to make up for the lack of 2021 submissions, we are opening up the dates and amount rules for 2022 a bit, specifically:

- All qualifying submissions for Tekko 2022 had to be created on June 15, 2020 or later; and
- We will allow four (4) entries instead of our usual 3, but if submitting four, at least one of the videos had to be created on or after January 1st, 2021.

The full rules for Tekko 2022's contest will be posted very soon.

Finally, everyone will probably want to know what the theme for 2022 is. Yes, this time we know it in advance, and it is...












... Deities and Demigods.

So, get your creative juices going on the theme, because Tekko 2022 is only 8 months away!

To paraphrase one Mr. Cool James, please refrain from referring to it as a revival, I've been lurking for ages.
