Welcome to The Editor's Kitchen Contest!

We are happy to announce a brand new competition hosted by me! Please read the rules carefully before submitting your edit. If the rules are not followed your edit will be disqualified.

Rules:
1) You may submit up to 3 edits in total. MEPs and Collabs are accepted.
2) Plagiarism and AI is unacceptable in this contest. (AI as a tool is fine– AI to create the edit is not)
3) Violence is a-okay in this contest. Nudity should be kept to a minimum.
4) Video must have been uploaded after 9/30/2024 (September 30th, 2024)
5) No subtitles or buppers from the anime/game must be present within the edit. However, if you have added your own subtitles that is perfectly acceptable.
6) Buppers or credits for other affiliated groups are fine to have (EX: other contests & usernames).
7) AMVs (Anime Music Videos), GMVs (Game Music Videos), LAMV (Live-Action Music Videos) are all accepted. Manga & fanart edits are also accepted.
8) The file name must be exactly the same as the submitted name.
9) Files must be submitted through a file sharing website such as google drive or dropbox. Youtube videos will not be accepted as we will be posting the winners and need a download!
10) Edits must be a minimum of 1 Minute and at most 5 minutes (excluding shorts).
11) The best format is mp4; wmv and mov are also accepted.

Question: Is there a rule about placing two videos in the same category?

Thank you for asking! This contest is an online one, so it will not be at an actual convention. I will be posting winners in January!

I see. I meant if there's a place where I could watch works of all participants of the competition (not just the winners)? Is there any website where AMVs will be demonstrated?
