Anime Weekend Atlanta 2021 VIDEO ART TRACK CONTEST WINNERS

[Mr Pilkington]

It seems the org was overlooked in the haste to get the contest details online this year. That blame falls squarely on my shoulders and I deeply apologize. With AWA seemingly back to a normal schedule we have made plans so that each year going forward you'll have contest details at the start of the new year, both here and social media, with the AWA official site shortly thereafter.

Unpleasantries aside we had a variety of great entries this year from many different genres and mediums. I want to personally thank every editor who took the time to submit content to the Video Art Track at Anime Weekend Atlanta. Here are the winners in the order shown with links (where possible):

Wow, Rider4Z you really brought me back with that PMV. The pony decade may be over but those were glorious times for brony editors. Good to know the passion is still there.

[SynaesthesiaVideos]

Haha thanks. Pretty sure The Derpy Hooves Award for Equestrian Excellence was an actual Pro award one year.
