AAC and Bakuretsu Con 2017 - Winners!

[LantisEscudo]

Hello, everyone!

I'm happy to announce that the AMV Contests for both Another Anime Convention 2017 and Bakuretsu Con 2017 are open for entries!

The rules for both are very similar to last year, though there are slight differences between the two:
Another Anime Convention Rules
Bakuretsu Con Rules

Because the two conventions are only two weeks apart, the submission form is the same for both contests, and you can choose to submit to one or both when you fill out the form.

The deadline for AAC is 11:59pm Eastern September 23, 2017.
The deadline for Bakuretsu Con is 11:59pm Eastern September 29, 2017.

As always, I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone will be sending, and I wish all of the entrants the best of luck.

[LantisEscudo]

Hi, everyone, this is just a quick reminder that there's less than a month left to enter your videos!

Thanks to everyone that's submitted so far, and I can't wait to see what else comes in this month.

Hey, everyone!

There's only one week left to submit to AAC, and only two weeks left to submit to Bakuretsu Con!

Other and Fun/Comedy are both low on entries, but every category can use more.

Thanks to everyone that's already submitted!

[LantisEscudo]

Hi there again, everyone!

AAC's deadline is tomorrow night, so get your entries in soon!

This is also the last week before Bakuretsu Con's deadline.

Thanks again to everyone who's already submitted.

[LantisEscudo]

Entries to AAC are now closed!

Thanks to everyone who submitted for the 84 videos we received. The prescreening is set for next weekend, so finalists should be receiving notifications early in the week following.

If you missed the deadline, there's still five days left to submit to Bakuretsu Con!

[LantisEscudo]

There's a little more than 24 hours left to submit to Bakuretsu Con, so please get your entries in soon!

We've got a lot of excellent entries so far, but we will always welcome more.
