Welcome to our 8th and final AMV Competition at Saboten Con in downtown Phoenix, AZ. As some may know, I have come out of retirement to help step in after my friend has to step down with personal stuff after he select to run the contest after us. But enough of that, here is everything that you will need to know if you would like to participate! Be sure to read the rules before submitting your entry. We can't wait to see what you create this year! Here are the following categories that we have for this year:

Action / Adventure
(Power, Intensity)

Drama/Romance
(Thriller, Emotional, loving)

Upbeat/ Dance
(Rhythm, Energy type feels)

Comedy/ Humor
(laughs, Silly)

Trailer/ Fun
(Film type, Commercial ads.)

Arizonians
(Our Local Editors)



Rules:
-Policies and Conditions-
1. Will not accept any physical media you submit to us unless otherwise you need to, please contact us.

2. The coordinators and judges may, at their discretion, re-categorize any entry they deem unsuited for the category specified by the entrant.

3. The coordinators and judges have the right to disqualify any submission for any fair and justifiable reason not foreseen in these rules.

4. All judgments and decisions are final and will post up the finalist in each category.

5. Do not submit someone else’s AMV as if it were your own. Do not submit an “improved” version of someone else’s AMV unless you have the original creator’s explicit permission to do so.

-Disqualification Rules-
1. Maximum Submissions
You may submit a maximum of two AMVs per person.
No two AMVs may be for the same category.
(Can have a 3rd entry only if its for Trailer/ Humor Category only)

2. Intros, closings, and identifiers.
Entries are screened anonymously. Therefore, videos should not contain any identifying information such as intros, closings, logos, slates, or credits of any kind.
NOTE: Any Trailer parodies are an exception and may use studio-style slates or
logos where customary, provided that they are completely original.

3. Studio Trademarks
(Last year we had multiple logos on AMVs, PLEASE LOOK BEFORE SUBMITTING) Entries may not use studio trademarks (e.g. Paramount, DreamWorks, WB logos, Funimation, etc.) unless it is intentional, it will be negotiated with before the entry is put in the contest. Also please don’t have your editor name or studio name on your videos and intros. We put that up before videos plays at the time of contest.

4. Inappropriate Content
Entries that contain excessive content unsuitable for an age 13+ audience as determined by the coordinators and/or judges may be disqualified. Context and severity shall be taken under consideration.
For those with this concern, it is recommended to look over your submission or to not add that content at all. This included language in the audio/ music.

5. Non-Anime/Video Game Content
The visual content of your entry should consist of at least 70% anime-styled, manga-styled, or video game content. The judges reserve the right to accept or reject entries based on whether, in their opinion, an entry fits the spirit of an Anime Music Video event.

Its for all of our local editors that can enter that category. So they get a chance of having their videos up for everyone.
