Colorado Anime Fest 2023 - Submissions Have Opened!

[The_McLaughlin]

Considering last year they never posted the finalists or the winners, and the fact they kept spamming the AMV Contests boards and Kireblue stated that he'd be banning the account after the event so they probably won't be able to, I managed to get the finalists and the winners (except for Best in Show, they either didn't show that winner or it was one of the other category winners and I missed it on the title card before the video) and figured I'd put them up here since I was there in person. A side note I wrote these in the notes of my phone and my phone loves to autocorrect without me noticing. So if I got a name wrong that's probably why, just let me know and I'll fix it.

Thanks McLaughlin, you're a legend. Considering how bad they are at communicating, I probably won't enter COAF next year. Congrats to all the winners!

Yeah honestly I am only really still submitting because I'm local and am more likely to actually be at the convention. If I weren't local, due to the lack of communication, I probably also wouldn't be submitting.
