The Tsukino-Con AMV Contest is one of Tsukino-Con’s largest events, airing for about 2-3 hours at the con. The event is a showcase of fan-made music videos submitted directly by creators both local and from all over the world where you, the audience, get to vote on your favourites. The contest is open to anyone—amateurs, professionals, and everyone in between.

The deadline for submissions is: Sunday, January, 21st 2018, at 11:59PM PST.

CATEGORIES

Videos will be sorted into six categories:
1. Drama
2. Action
3. Fun/Upbeat

✦ All AMVs must meet the technical requirements below.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
We will accept a variety of formats, but recommend the following. If for whatever reason we’re not able to work with the format you’ve submitted, we’ll contact you as soon as possible so that you can re-submit.

BEST OF BC REQUIREMENTS
Best of BC is a new category, exclusive to local AMV makers based in British Columbia. This category was created with the intent to help foster growth within our local community to create the next wave of AMV makers. This is an open category accepting all of the previously listed categories above. As a BC creator, you can choose to submit your video for its consideration in another category in addition to Best of BC. However, if your video is deemed a finalist, it will only be a finalist in one of the available categories, as deemed by the judges. Not all BC videos are guaranteed entrance to the final contest, especially if technical requirements aren’t met, however ,all BC videos will be shown during exhibition at some point in the convention (more info to come). All AMV’s must meet these requirements for submission:

• Made by a resident living in British Columbia, Canada
• Only creators that have not won a major prize (Best in Category, Best in Show, Technical Awards) at another convention are eligible
• Must meet the technical and the general requirements listed above

HOW TO SUBMIT
So you’d like to submit a video to Tsukino-Con’s AMV Contest? FANTASTIC. You’re already our new best friend. To keep things simple:

Submit all videos to: amv@tsukinocon.com

When submitting your video please send us the following:

☀ the anime used in the video
☀ the name of the song used in the video
☀ the name of the artist who the song is by
☀ the name you want to go by as creator of the video and an email that you check regularly that we can contact you at
☀ the category you feel your video falls into
☀ where you are from

Example:

Say I made a sweet video using footage from the movie 5cm per second and I wanted to submit it. I would send:

✢Anime: 5cm per second
✢ Song: Timeless
✢ Artist: Kate Havnevik
✢ Creator: chaos.cubix (randomemail@gmail.com)
✢ Category: Drama
✢ From: Victoria, B.C

Please submit your video via some sort of file sharing program. Our recommendation is Dropbox, but Windows Skydrive, Sendspace, Google Drive and Mediafire work alright too.

All categories must have a minimum of five (5) entries, no more than seven (7) entries will be permitted in a single category.

AMV SMACKDOWN
AMVs that win best of category awards will progress to the AMV Smackdown. Winning videos will compete head to head against winners in previous years to determine which winner is the current best in its respective categories. After audience voting, the winner of the head to head battle is crowed smackdown champion, and will represent its winning category in Tsukino-Con’s AMV Smackdown 2019

By all means, I'm looking forward to the Made in Abyss videos that come out this year for AMVs!

This is a reminder to everyone here that Tsukino-Con's submission deadline is now just over a week away! We're still in need of many videos(especially in Action, Romance/Sentimental and Best of BC) and are looking for new submissions daily. As an additional reminder, we are accepting AMV's made after December, 31, 2016. Please be sure to send all videos to amv@tsukinocon.com by January, 21, 2018 11:59:59PM PST.

Re: Tsukino Con 2018 AMV Contest Deadline Jan.21.18-11:59:59PM PST FIVE DAYS AWAY

Post by TsukinoCONtest » Fri Jan 19, 2018 12:47 am

Hey everyone! The weekend is fast approaching, and with it, comes the deadline for Tsukino-Con's AMV contest. We're starting to get more and more AMVs, but we're still wanting a whole bunch more in all our categories, Drama, Romance/Sentimental, Action, Comedy, Fun/Upbeat and Best of BC! The deadline is Sunday, January, 21st 2018, at 11:59PM PST.. However, I highly recommend that if you are able to send your videos in earlier, then you should attempt to do so. This will allow for additional time to look over AMVs, and grant you time to edit your AMVs, should there be any changes that need to be made in accordance to the contest rules.

Happy editing, everyone!

Re: Tsukino Con 2018 AMV Contest JUDGEMENT IN PROGRESS

Post by TsukinoCONtest » Wed Jan 31, 2018 12:29 pm

Alright everyone, judging has now passed completion and I am happy to announce today the results of judging. But first, I would like to thank you all so much for submitting to the Tsukino-Con AMV Contest! We received 63 entries this year that we had to narrow down to list of 37 finalists, so unfortunately an incredible number of really amazing AMVs weren't able to be selected for the finals. A showcase, featuring as many AMVs that we can fit into an hour from editors that submitted videos to the contest but did not make the finals, will also be run this year.



It looks like it's going to be an amazing contest, and whether or not your video was selected, we really hope to hear from you again next year!
