Are You Ready For the 2026 KATSUCON AMV Contests!

[DJJonnyBlaze]

The Katsucon AMV contests are now open for submissions! Submit your videos at our site now through December 1st at https://www.katsucon.org/contests/amv/
Once again, we are offering three contests, each corresponding to a different maturity rating:
-The AMV Showdown:
Our main AMV event at Katsucon. It is a PG-13 rated contest that shows both Friday and Saturday.
-Saturday Morning AMVs:
This is an all-ages, PG-rated contest which shows on (you guessed it!) Saturday morning. It features both new videos and some age-appropriate entries from the AMV Showdown. We created this event to offer a more family-friendly alternative for our younger members to enjoy AMVs as well. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents – there’s plenty of fun to be had!
-NSFW AMVs:
This is our 18+ contest for the AMVs. Do you have that creative desire to edit to something that’s more on the mature side of things? Are you worried that your AMV may be a little too risqué or graphic for a general audience? Well fear not, that’s what the Katsucon NSFW contest is here for! Get ready to cut loose, because we want your most insane, funny, and entertaining AMVs for this no holds barred, anything goes contest!
-AMV Blender:
Blender is a short AMV showcase that acts as a pre-show to the AMV Showdown. It is a great place for first-time editors to submit a short clip to show their stuff and for experienced editors to showcase ideas too short for a full AMV. Clips can be from 15 to 60 seconds long. As this showcase features new editors, we are a little more relaxed about quality control, but please try to stay close to the guidelines. So, try something new and show off your creative side!

Hi. Tried to submit my videos, but it won't let me enter since it won't acknowledge the format I'm entering from. I have an Apple computer, but it's asking for Microsoft login.

I checked it out of curiosity and all of the contest submission links redirect to a Microsoft login page. It does the same on desktop or mobile, but I took a screen recording from my phone to share:




It looks like they're going to the Form design URLs rather than the link for collecting responses since it has "DesignPage" in the URLs vs "ResponsePage".

The first link:
