Anime Festival Orlando (AFO) AMV Contest 2026 Megathead! Status: Finalists Announced!

[UForgotten]

It's Official, AFO's AMV Contest is returning for a 25th year.

Breaking News! We are once again offering 3-day Convention Passes as an incentive for finalists to attend our show in-person.
In order to give everyone more time to plan if they can attend, we have pushed the deadline back to get an earlier start this year so we can announce finalists well in advance of the Convention.

If you registered your contact information in previous years, we will still have it on file.
However, new entrants are welcomed, please Register Here First!
Once you have registered your contact info, you can submit your videos using the Official Entry Form and use your same e-mail address so we can link your entry with your contact information.

All the information you need including the rules etc is at the AFO AMV Awards Site.

Direct link to the submission form is here.

ALL ENTRIES ARE DUE BEFORE Sunday, April 12th (end of day Sat 4/11 11:59 pm).

The AFO AMV Contest Event (PG-13 Rated) at the Convention is Sunday June 21st.

If you have any questions about the convention or contest, find us on the AFO Discord, or reply to this thread.
