This is Ernest once again from AnimeFunTV.com; we are proud to sponsor and host our 3rd AMV Contest at San Japan 4TW in my home city of San Antonio, TX 
Scheduled for August 5th-7th 2011 at the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel.------------------------------------
After three years at SJ we think finally nailed the sweet spot for how AMV Contest should be held. There some noticeable changes and added things, so lets take a look at them.
1. More time in the time limits: All categories are now at 5 Minutes Maximum. That also means this year the AMV Contest will be longer.
2. New split category, Comedy/Song & Comedy/p00p: This is something that was needed, Comedy/Songs are just for what it says, songs or parody songs are only allowed. Comedy/p00p will be only for AMV Hell style or homemade comedy animations.
3. Larger Prize: This year we upped the anti with the Best AMV Overall will now receive a $75 Gift Certificate to Best Buy (if the winner is international then they will receive an equal value gift)
4. Video Game CGI: both Japanese AND American video game CGI sequences are NOT allowed. (This includes Square Enix games) NOTE: This dose not affect Anime CGI (example: Initial D or Blue Submarine No. 6)
5. H-Fest AMV Contest: We have a new contest added to San Japan, and thats the H-AMV Contest. Rules are very simple for it, but you must be 18+ in order for you to submit and view the contest. Rules for the H-AMV Contest are Here
