5) The contest IS PG-13 but the following excessive materials are NOT allowed: nudity, excessive blood, major dismemberment, overly foul language/lyrics, racial or verbal obscenities, and any form of suicide. Videos with this content will be immediately disqualified. If the content is questionable it will be put in a special screening to see if it’s acceptable for showing to a con audience.

6) That being said, we reserve the right to reject any video for any reason. Rules are subject to change at ANY time.

7) Submissions with significant audio or visual degradation, watermarks, logos (THIS INCLUDES ANIME TITLES), and Japanese-produced credits (ex opening and closing credits), or fan-produced (fansub) or licensed subtitles, will not be accepted and result in automatic disqualification. We will accept Japanese audio HOWEVER English audio is not allowed due to legalities.

All rules that apply to the other categories applies to this category as well. The only difference is you may use ANY non-anime footage for this. So if you have a cartoon, Disney or Live-Action video that you haven’t been able to submit to a con, now is your chance!

Where do we submit the vid?

[Tyken12]

OOOOooo, I had missed the first deadline, super psyched I can throw my hat in the ring! I've got a revamped version of a rough draft I made last year and another I'm almost done with.

It's with regret that I must inform you that there will be no AMV programming for Zenkaikon this year due to unexpected circumstances.
Without going into detail, our former DH dissolved the department before relinquishing her position.
Hopefully, AMV will be back next year so stay tuned.
I personally apologize for any disappointment this has caused.
