Finalists should already have received a notification email. If your name is on the list and you have not received it from me, please let me know so I can resend it.
Overflow Showing
Videos that were not selected as finalists for the 2026 AMV Contest will be shown all day on Sunday in the Fan Creations Track (Hynes 312).
We do have more videos than we can play even in that amount of time, so we would like to prioritize showing videos by editors in attendance. If you are attending the convention, you can speak to anyone at the tech desk at the front of the room during the showing to have your videos moved up in the queue to be played or to be replayed if you missed them earlier in the showing.
AMV Editors Dinner
If you will be attending Anime Boston and will be in town Thursday evening, please consider joining us at the AMV Editors Dinner at 6:30PM at the Pressed Cafe on Huntington Street. This is an unofficial event, open to everyone in the editing community. For details and to RSVP, please see the thread in the Anime Boston Forums:

Fan Creations Track
We've got a whole weekend of blocks of AMVs and other Fan Creations planned for this year's convention. If you'll be attending, please stop by the Fan Creations Track in Hynes 312 and check out what we have to offer. You can follow any of Anime Boston's social channels to see the full schedule when it gets announced (usually 1-2 weeks before the con starts).
Thank you again to everyone who submitted this year. Without your entries, there would literally be no contest to show. I know I say it every year, but it continues to be true: I'm always surprised at the amazing work that gets sent to us, and we truly appreciate it.
