Post by PrincessMareep » Sun Dec 05, 2021 3:35 pm

Hello all and welcome to the official rules for the 2022 AMV Contest! Zenkaikon plans to hold an in-person con so we can enjoy our beloved AMV Contest together again!!

Now, for the contest details...


Our categories are as follows:

Action

Upbeat
Drama
Comedy/Parody
Free Range Fandom


Deadline will be February 6th @ 11:59pm EST

You may submit up to 3 videos, to 3 separate categories.

Submission guidelines are as follows:

1) This should go without saying, but plagiarism will NOT be tolerated! Any attempt to submit the work belonging to anyone other than yourself will result in you being BLACKLISTED PERMANENTLY!!!

2) We prefer entries to be submitted in a .mp4 format (no quicktime, please) and with a 720p to 1080p resolution. This ensures quality for you and the contest!

3) PLEASE ONLY submit your video through GOOGLE DRIVE OR DROPBOX! If you submit any other way your submission will be viewed as null and void.

4) NO BUMPERS or CREDITS permitted! We will provide the information to introduce each entry for the finals. This includes editor names and video titles being placed before, after, or anywhere in your video as well.

5) The contest IS PG-13 but the following excessive materials are NOT allowed: nudity, excessive blood, major dismemberment, overly foul language/lyrics, racial or verbal obscenities, and any form of suicide. Videos with this content will be immediately disqualified. If the content is questionable it will be put in a special screening to see if it’s acceptable for showing to a con audience.

6) That being said, we reserve the right to reject any video for any reason. Rules are subject to change at ANY time.

7) Submissions with significant audio or visual degradation, watermarks, logos (THIS INCLUDES ANIME TITLES), and Japanese-produced credits (ex opening and closing credits), or fan-produced (fansub) or licensed subtitles, will not be accepted and result in automatic disqualification. We will accept Japanese audio HOWEVER English audio is not allowed due to legalities.

8) Entries must be at least 1 minute in length and not to exceed 5 minutes, 30 seconds running time. They must contain at least 75% Japanese animation.

9) DVD copies of the contest will not be available due to legal concerns.

10) PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE put your submission forms in a .txt document and attach it to your email submission along with the link to your entry.

FREE RANGE FANDOM

All rules that apply to the other categories applies to this category as well. The only difference is you may use ANY non-anime footage for this. So if you have a cartoon, Disney or Live-Action video that you haven’t been able to submit to a con, now is your chance!

OOOOooo, I had missed the first deadline, super psyched I can throw my hat in the ring! I've got a revamped version of a rough draft I made last year and another I'm almost done with.

It's with regret that I must inform you that there will be no AMV programming for Zenkaikon this year due to unexpected circumstances.
Without going into detail, our former DH dissolved the department before relinquishing her position.
Hopefully, AMV will be back next year so stay tuned.
I personally apologize for any disappointment this has caused.

Hello, everyone!

Please disregard Richard's message. He is no longer part of the Zenkaikon AMV Department.

Colin Langdon is handling AMVs for Zenkaikon 2022.

They have NOT been canceled.
