We’re super excited to announce we’re back for a 3rd edition of our International AMV Competition and we’re also bringing back our 18+ AMV Competition and we’re looking forward to entries for both competitions!
Abunai! 2023: Summer Magic Academia is the 19th edition of the Netherlands’ cheekiest convention. We invite you to enjoy our summer festival! Our three-day convention will be held at NH Hotel Koningshof in Veldhoven (NL) from August 11 – 13.

For the International AMV Competition: you can enter 3 AMVs in the following categories: Action, Comedy, Dance/Fun, Drama/Romance and/or Conceptual. The Conceptual category is for AMVs that do not belong to any of the other mentioned categories. They may, for example, focus on a mood or aesthetic, or merely focus on showcasing editing skills matching the music.

I would like to thank everyone that have submitted thus far!

Currently we have 11 entries in the following categories:
Action - 1
Comedy - 1
Conceptual - 1
Dance/Fun - 2
Drama/Romance - 3



18+ - 3



With that being said starting tomorrow I will be going on vacation to Japan and I won’t be available till at least May 19th. This means checking and approving upcoming entries and/or replying to your questions will take longer than usual. In case of a burning question that truly can't wait during my absence you could contact Kagacie at kagacie@gmail.com be sure to add AMV in the title when doing so! I will try to get back to you on May 20th/21st, this truly depends on how hard the jetlag will hit me. Thanks for understanding and keep the entries coming! <3

I have a comedy video I made but given the nature of the video I submitted last year being moved to 18+, it might need to be moved here. I remember the outline for 18+ at Abunai is a bit more restrained than it is at US conventions. Do you mind if I send you a screenshot Mariko, and get your opinion based off of the image?
