For over three months my crew member SSJ4 Nightmare 420 has been sayiing "We should have a tourny just for new amv makers so they can strut their stuff." Well you know what, I thought it was a fantastic idea. I think that the pro's have as much to learn from new vid creators as new creators do from the pro's.
So much so, that after much talk with my J&P staff, we decided to go ahead and DO just that.
