If you only make the type of video that appeals to the fans.

After a year's absence, MTAC is back. Less than two weeks to the AMV deadline, BTW.

Nan Desu Kan just posted their AMV contest rules for this year.

I heard that PortConMaine is a good contest, too. They also have their rules posted.

(Overblown, mainstream music + Overrated, popular anime) * Excessively meaningless special effects = fan appealing video

No thanks.

Yea, I know what you mean.. I'm not against popular anime or music, it's what is done with it and how that I find important... But the audiance goes for mind candy effects thease days...But videos with good emotional content and wise use if effects, etc endure longer even if they don't win at contests as much

Could some of the contest coordinators please add their contests to <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/help/calendar">the calendar</a>? I've seen a bunch mentioned as having deadlines in late March, but they're not on the calendar. Thx --

You are so right. Of course, people have always been attracted to "eye candy effects". Trouble is most folks can't and won't see beyond the glamore.
