PMX 2022 - AMV Contest Submissions RESULTS

Post by SpuddStaaa » Tue Aug 02, 2022 8:57 pm

The PMX AMV Contest is BACK after 3 years!

We've undergone a lot of changes over the past few years and been steadily hosting online conventions, so the past two years were difficult to truly host an AMV contest properly. This year we're super excited to bring this contest back! With that out of the way...

Welcome back to the PMX 2022 AMV contest hosted at the Sheraton Los Angeles San Gabriel from October 21-23. Here's the link to our website submission page. https://pacificmediaexpo.org/programming/amvcontest

Guidelines
Here are some quick rules to keep in mind:
  • Submission Deadline is September 21st at 11:59pm PST.
  • Maximum of 3 entries per person (You can only enter one video per category).
  • Length: Please have your AMV submission be under 5 minutes 30 seconds and longer than 30 seconds. You're free to submit a longer video or shorter one but I ensure you it'll be judged harder.
  • Multi-Editor projects are allowed. But if you are submitting one note it counts as one of your max entries for both of you.
  • No intros, conclusions, or self identifiers in your submission.
  • No studio trademark logos.
  • No subtitles unless added in by the creator for creative purposes.
  • Content must be appropriate for at least an age 13+ audience.
  • The content must be mostly anime related content. Any content not seen as such is subject to judging. Btw I'll take Avatar, but be mindful.
  • Freshness rule: Your AMV must be published after November 11th, 2019 to be allowed.
Technical Requirements
  • We recommend using mp4 or mkv file formats. Submitting in .avi, .mpg, .mov formats is acceptable but not recommended. Any other format will not be accepted unless given specific approval directly. I'll at least test them all to make sure I could run it. If issues come up I will contact you.
  • We recommend AVC/H.264 codecs.
  • Recommended file size is 500 MB. We reserve the right to reject your submission if it's too large.
  • Acceptable frame sizes are 23.976, 24,25,29.97, and 30.
  • Video resolution should be either 1280×720 or 1920×1080
Categories
Our categories for this year are as follows:

  • Action/Adventure
  • Drama
  • Romantic/Sentimental
  • Upbeat/Dance
  • Comedy/Humor
  • Trailer/Fun/Parody


Awards
As normal, we will provide the following awards:

  • Best of (Insert Category)
  • Best of Show
  • Judge's Choice
  • Editor's Choice


We have some ideas we would love to try out within reason, so make sure to follow this post for any updates! This year I literally had to learn how to make an AMV and went to AMV contests just to know how these contests will work before taking this position. I will be making sure that I get back to everybody who has questions as soon as possible.

Hey SpuddStaaa. Congrats on the position! I've entered PMX a number of times in the past, so I look forward to seeing what you do with the contest :awesome: .

Just one piece of advice though, Drama categories are usually separated from Romance/ Sentimental categories, and so if it's not too late, you should probably consider splitting them. Romance and Sentimental videos have such a drastic feeling and tone difference than Drama videos that merging them into one my cause a pretty big whiplash for the audience and make it hard to judge the videos against each other.

Thank you all who attended this weekend. We managed to tally the results relatively quickly and were able to announce at least half of the winners during our closing ceremony! Here are the final results. As for those who won, I will be looking into some options as ways to celebrate your victories as our original plan isn't possible due to one of our staff members leaving. See you all next year because we will be looking into expanding past only Anime and into general media!
