Anime Boston 2024 - Winners Announced

[TheHandler]

Hello, everyone!

There's only one week left to submit to Anime Boston, so please get your entries in soon!

We're particularly in need of entries to the Other and Trailer/Commercial categories, so if you have videos that would fit there, please enter them.

Thank you to everyone who's submitted so far, and I look forward to seeing what else comes in this week.

I just BARELY finished my video but submitted to the Other category! Looking forward to the contest!

Hi, everyone!

It's deadline day! Submissions will close at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time TONIGHT! That's about 11 hours from now, so please get your entries in soon.

Trailer/Commercial in particular still could use some more entries, if you have one.

Thank you to everyone who's submitted so far!

[Silvercoat]

Good luck with your submissions everyone!

Hello, everyone!

Before anything else, I want to say thank you to everyone that submitted an entry to Anime Boston 2024. I'm surprised every year with the amazing creativity we see, and this year has been no exception.

Overflow Showing

Videos that were not selected as finalists for the 2024 AMV Contest will be shown all day on Sunday in the Fan Creations Track (Hynes 312).

We do have far 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. This is an unofficial event, open to everyone in the editing community. You can find the details and RSVP in the Anime Boston Forums: https://forums.animeboston.com/viewtopi ... =6&t=35057

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, we literally would have no contest to show.

[Sayoria]

Congrats to everyone!

Do we have a spread of the categories? After your need of T/C, I am curious how many came in for each section.
