MomoCon 2022 AMV & V-MIX Competition: Winners

Post by Kireblue » Thu Jan 06, 2022 10:06 am

It's that time again! MomoCon is now accepting entries for its 2022 AMV & V-MIX Competition!
Entries will be accepted until Wednesday, April 20th, 2022 @ 11:59 pm EST. Each AMV Contest finalist will receive a free 4-day membership to MomoCon 2022, and the winner of each category will receive a trophy and a $75 Cash Prize. We're also giving $100 to the Coordinator's Choice Award winner, and $500 to the Director's Choice Award winner.

MomoCon's AMV Contest welcomes submissions from all forms of animation. We also have a separate V-MIX (Video Remix) Competition for Cosplay Music Videos and Live Action submissions. V-MIX Competition winners will receive an award and a free membership to next year's convention (MomoCon 2023).

Rules and Guidelines

General:
  • 1) All submitted entries must comply with the Basic & Auxiliary guidelines outlined in the A-M-V.org CONGRSS Rules

    2a) The AMV Contest allows submissions from all forms of Animation. This includes but isn't limited to non-Japanese animation like RWBY, Steven Universe, Genshin Impact, and League of Legends.

    2b) The V-MIX Competition welcomes Cosplay Music Videos and Live Action submissions. Videos that primarily consist of animated footage are not eligible to be submitted.

    3) All submitted videos must be shorter than 6 minutes. Videos submitted to the AMV Contest must also be longer than 45 seconds.

    4a) Entrants are only allowed to submit (1) video to a specific AMV Contest category. Also, entrants are allowed to submit to any (2) of the (6) categories. Entrants are allowed to submit to a 3rd AMV Contest category if one of their submissions is to either the Trailer or Comedy/ Parody category. Lastly, a single video can not be submitted to more than one category.

    4b) Entrants can submit up to 3 additional videos to the V-MIX Competition. Videos that primarily consist of animated footage are not eligible to be submitted.

    5) All submissions must be sent by Wednesday, April 20th, 2022 at 11:59 pm (EST).
Categories:
The AMV contest has six categories. Entrants are allowed to select the best fit category for their submission, but if our judges strongly disagree, it may be moved to a better fitting category. *The V-MIX Competition doesn't have categories, and so videos submitted to it will be judged against every other submitted video. The AMV Contest categories are as follows:

Trailer
Action
Drama / Serious
Romance / Sentimental
Fun / Upbeat
Comedy / Parody
File Formats:
We accept a wide range of file types, but MP4 is preferred. We strongly discourage submitting QuickTime, DivX, Real Media, or Flash Video.

Judging:
We'll select the top five videos from each category, and screen them during the convention. Finalists will be announced and notified via e-mail about a week after the submission deadline passes. Videos that are not selected as finalists will be moved to the V-MIX Competition, and be eligible to win awards. During the AMV Contest screening (May 28th, 2022), MomoCon attendees will vote on which video they feel should win each individual category. Once the votes have been tailed, the winners will be announced at the contest screening and via Twitter https://twitter.com/MomoConAMVs . The AMV contest will also be streamed LIVE on MomoCon's Twitch channel http://www.twitch.tv/team/momocon

Unlike the AMV contest, the V-MIX Competition doesn't have finalists. After the submission deadline passes, our panel of judges will select videos to receive specific awards that will be announced during the V-MIX Competition screening (May 29th, 2022).

In addition to the V-MIX awards and Category winners, there will also be the following awards:
  • Judges' Choice: Chosen by MomoCon volunteer staff prior to the convention.
    Coordinator's Choice: Chosen solely by the AMV Contest Coordinator (Erik Norelus "Kireblue")
    Director's Choice: Chosen solely by the Co-Chair/ Founder of MomoCon (Jessica Merriman)
    Editors' Choice: Chosen via online voting by participants that submit to either the AMV or V-MIX Competition
We also give editors the opportunity to label themselves as a “rookie” or “novice” on their submission forms. By selecting these classifications, participants will become eligible to receive the “Best Rookie” or “Best Novice” awards which are meant to recognize the hard work of editors at different levels of experience. For the purpose of our judging, a “Novice” is someone who has been editing for 2 years or less and has little to no prior experience in video editing. A “Rookie” is someone who may have prior experience in video editing, but has been editing for 3 years or less, or has never won a major category award in a contest (Best Action, Drama, Comedy, etc). Selecting either of these options will not disqualify a participant from making finals or winning additional awards. Winners of the Best Novice and Rookie awards are ineligible to win each specific award a 2nd time.

Awards & Prizes:

Anything not claimed will be shipped out immediately after the convention.
Submissions:
2022 AMV & V-MIX Submission Form
Embedded Form
Spoiler :
The form requires you to provide a download link of your video via a file sharing service like Google Drive or Dropbox. Please ensure that the URL is a “shared” or “public” link. If your AMV is available for local download on A-M-V.org, you can instead provide a link to its video information page. If your video meets the necessary rules and requirements, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to you within 3 days. At any time, MomoCon reserves the right to not show or ultimately disqualify any video for any reason.

I have just one question. I remember last year, it was said that we could resubmit an entry from that year's contest this year because it was just the V-Mix? Is that still the case, or am I remembering that wrong?

That's correct. If you would like to resubmit a video that you sent to last year's contest, it will be allowed

Just letting you know that the definitions of a "Rookie" and a "Novice" on your post here both say "editing for a year or less." According to your submission form, a Rookie is someone with less than 2 years editing experience.

The form was correct and so the post has been updated to the correct wording.

"A Rookie is someone who may have prior experience in video editing, but has been editing for 2 years or less, or has never won a major category award in a contest (Best Action, Drama, Comedy, etc)."

Friendly reminder that we're less than 2 months away from the April 20th AMV Contest deadline!

Also, for everyone that was either a V-MIX winner or AMV Contest finalist in our 2020 or 2021 Competitions, you're eligible to receive a free 4-day badge to MomoCon 2022. Everyone that was a V-MIX Competition winner in 2019 is also eligible to receive a 2022 badge due to you being unable to use the one that you were eligible for in 2020. I plan on sending all of you instructions on how to receive your discount code within the next few days.
