The deadline posted on the website has been changed to reflect the extention.

It was January 15th, but has been pushed all the way back to March 11th to allow time for further submissions.

This is Arizona's FIRST anime convention. A lot of our attendees have never been to an out-of-state convention at all, so this will all be new and exciting for them. Even if you only have something recent (say from the last year) that you'd like to give some more coverage, send it to us. Chances are, a lot of the folks attending will not have seen it yet.

Don't be shy! Send us your stuff! Help us make our first AMV contest something to remember. =)

Thanks!

I hope this doesn't mean you haven't received a bunch of amvs. I was planning on watching a lot of them at the con!!!

I guess on the plus side, I don't have to stress about getting mine postmarked by Saturday.

But, come on everyone, there's only 10 weeks to go til the con. Feed our hunger!!!

I'll try to send in two of my videos. One was made in May and the other November so it would not be a full year since they have been out. I'll e-mail the info for the videos today.

Shamless Bump

Also, the FTP server for AniZona submissions has decided to be unhelpful. We are working to correct the issue as quickly as possible. There is still plenty of time, so if you wish to submit via snail-mail, please burn your submisisons along with the information requested on the guidelines page to a CD-R and send it to the P.O. Box listed.

Thanks to those who have sent videos so far! Keep them coming!

Shameless Bump

We've had several good one so far, but we need more, especially in the Comedy and Drama categories. Send us your vids!

Contest results are in. http://anizona.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=771

To those people who were not at the contest there was a change to how it was to be voted on. The change in the voting policy was due to the limited number of entries in each of the categories and the amount of time scheduled for the contest. This year there were three winners selected for the entire contest. Each attendee voted for the three videos they liked the best. Here are the winners for AniZona 1 AMV contest:

Third Place:
