Get ready! Once again, Japan Expo and AMV France Association organize the Japan Expo 2008 International AMV Contest during the biggest European Japanim Convention (100 000 visitors) that will take place at the beginning of July 2008 near PARIS. Once a year, AMV makers from all around the world compete against each others for the first prize, which will be offered during Japan Expo 2008.
Hang on to your computers, the contest is going to be tough!
The contest is divided into two categories: the local ranking (French videos only), and the international ranking.
The public price, which was very popular during the last edition, will once again enable the Japan Expo visitors to choose their favorite AMV: A whole hour worth of AMV on giant screen to be judged by popular vote.
Are you just good enough?
