Submitted the AMV Panel idea that I wanted to do in 2020 before COVID and the closing of the original hotel prevented the con from happening.

Great! Thank you! Once I'm home from vacation I'll be making sure Programming gets me the panel names and scheduling preferences so I can build the room schedule!

Finalists Announcement!!!

Thank you everyone who submitted to the AMV Contest this year! Like I said previously, we received OVER 200 VIDEOS to the contest this year! In all the years I've been part of the AMV Department at AUSA (Pre- and Post-COVID), this smashed all previous records! Thank you all!

As such, when you have 200+ videos, it wasn't easy to judge them and we definitely needed the near month time frame to get through them all! Thank you all for your patience!

Without further ado, here are the finalists!

Note, these are just the editor's names to keep the element of surprise! Come to the contest if you're attending AUSA, and as always a YouTube playlist will be made available post con!
