Ignore this. I am just keeping track of my contests.

If I'm making an upbeat romance AMV, which category should I enter it in? It's somewhat dramatic, has some action, and is upbeat by nature... but doesn't really fit k-pop for le wild category.

[Gene Starwind 21122]

I'll be entering this year. It's been a while since I've submitted to this contest.

[NAKAMA.BG]

Obsidian Zero - enter it in whichever category you feel it fits best, we will decide if it has to be moved

A little reminder there is only one week left to send your amvs! And for a little motivation and to get a feel from our festival - check out this video from last years edition! 4,000 visitors over the 2 day long festival, 100 cosplayars and many many more interesting things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-Uioq8lwtk
