Looks like a few people beat me to it, but I'm here to post a link to the official winner's list anyway. Sorry for the delay, everyone - I was helping run Registration at the con, in addition to AMVs, and I basically spent all day yesterday unconscious in the aftermath of the Convention
Thanks for your patience, everyone, and thanks to Anisci and Glitzer for helping the thread along in my absence. XD

Thank you again from myself, my co-organizers Jarod_Cain and primarchbentley, the judges, and staff of Anime Banzai 2010, for all your hard work, editors. We look forward to seeing you again next year for our contest once again.
The official thread, as always, can be found
here.
For those of you who have not yet received your badges and will have won an award at our contest, we will be shipping out everything before the end of next week at the latest. Hope you all like them, in any case. :3
Thank you again, everyone! I hope you all would like to enter the contest again next year - hopefully now that the new team has gone through its first year con growing pains, we'll be more organized and the technical glitches won't repeat themselves...
(A note on that, while we're at it: the equipment director for the convention essentially didn't want us to bring in our own PC to run the AMV show, claiming instead that his set up in Main Events should be able to handle "whatever we throw at him"... Unfortunately for him, the video files turned out to be a bit too much for his poor little six year old WinXP laptop, and skipping ensued. Needless to say, we won't be letting him get away with this next year
