WOW MANGO AT THE JAVITS CENTER! I will work towards submitting, it would be cool to get a pass since I am local! Thank you for your hard work on this, and pushing for ADA support. If you happen to need any help on this or the panel, you have my discord I didn't know you ran this contest!

Yes unfortunately. We will not accept AMVs prior to October 15th, 2023 [the deadline of last year's contest], shorts or otherwise. Thank you for checking!

Hello all! I just wanted to give folks the heads-up that Anime NYC 3 day badges are currently sold out. Currently the only guaranteed way to be there for all three days of the convention is to buy 3 singular day badges. Just so folks know, this year 3 day badges were sold out in about ~2 hours after they went for sale.

There is also a wait-list option for a 3-day badge, however that depends on someone rescinding/refunding their badge which means there is no guarantee that the waitlist will prove fruitful, or you may have to wait a long time [close to the convention date, when there are a lot more last minute cancellations] to be confirmed a pass. There have been those successful on the wait-list system though!

Of course if you are a finalist to our contest that is another way to obtain a badge for all 3 days of the convention, either for this year or any future year. If you bought a badge [or 3 individual badges] prior to becoming a finalist it is easy for us to get you a refund the passes you bought and replace the badge outright with the free one you've earned.

I bring this up because a lot of people have been contacting me their plans to go to Anime NYC, and furthermore have been solidifying their travel plans, without realizing that the 3-day badges are sold out.

Please plan accordingly because although I hope to see a lot of editors there, my hands are unfortunately tied in the matter of badges.

I was in queue twice (once in presale & failed and again in the real sale), and luckily landed myself a 3-day pass. The ideal case now is I become a finalist, get my pass refunded, and someone else can get my 3-day pass *fingers and toes all crossed*

Glad to hear someone vouch for how tough it is to get 3-day badges hahaha.
I am looking forward to your submission and even if your video doesn't make finals, I hope that you stop by and say hi! I love meeting editors at the con!
