Best Trailer Nominations

[Xophilarus]

Unfortunately, This AMV is not eligible to participate in this year's VCAs due to it premiering on Jan 1, 2026

It premiered at AWA which was in 2025, so I believe that should count for vca this year

Hey! So near the beginning of the post that explains the VCAs, release date/eligibility is outlined here:

What can compete?
Fandom Music Videos that premiered online in 2025 are eligible to participate in the VCAs (even videos that aren't cataloged on A-M-V.org). Premieres are defined as a video's first upload to either a streaming platform (YouTube, Vimeo, etc) or a catalog site (AMVOrg, AMVNews). Videos that were only uploaded to file-sharing sites like Google Drive or were only made available to watch as a collection of submissions (as opposed to individual uploads) do not count as premieres.

You can see that the premiere date is determined by when it is uploaded to a streaming service or equivalent. Not when it premieres at an anime convention! Unfortunately, it would be a lot harder to keep up with release dates of videos if the VCAs went by convention premiere dates. Additionally, videos often change from their original versions that appear at anime conventions/similar events. So this is the best way to keep dates consistent.

At least it is eligible for VCAs in 2026 though, so you are free to nominate it then!

Hope that helps!

Ok, I didn’t see SpuddStaaa’s 2024 upload. That being said, I checked back on last year’s parody, trailer, and comedy categories and it doesn’t seem to be among the nominations there.

Ok that is so strange, I could have sworn I checked last week and it was in there but you appear to be right. Feels like I'm in an alternate timeline for someone not to have nominated it last year
