FELLAS! Anime Central Returns!
The largest anime convention in the Midwest is now back for 2023! We will be at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center & the Hyatt Regency O’Hare at Rosemont, Illinois from May 19-21,2023. It took a while, but I'm glad to announce I'll be taking charge in bringing back the Anime Central AMV Contest.
We are now open for submissions!
Please review the rules here, and use this submission link when you are ready. The rules have been more modernized from the last time it was ran, so please read over them carefully. If there are any problems in the rules please let me know.
For people who want to submit videos to the AMV room showing, feel free to submit them here.
Important Notes From the Rules:
- The submission deadline is May 4th, 2023 at 11:59 pm CST.
- You are allowed to submit one video per category per person. That means you can submit a maximum of 7 videos as long as they are for unique categories. If you need to submit another video at another time, please resubmit another form with the new video. If you need to resubmit a video, please email me with your corrections.
- The form allows you to submit to every category all at once by selecting which page you want to go to at the bottom of each page. If you enter the wrong category, hit the back button as it won't let you progress until you fill in the entry information.
- The Freestyle category does not mean you can submit a video if it already fits in one of the other 6 categories.
- We accept all footage from anime, western animation, video games, live action sources, etc.
- Our freshness date is May 19th, 2022. Despite the last contest being ran in 2020, we believe there is enough new content to keep the contest exciting.
- AMVs may not be shorter than 30 seconds or exceed 5 minutes unless it is a parody. Your video must slap if it doesn't follow this rule.
- I will look into creating a possible Best Local Video award based on how many people submit and attend.
- The rules may change based on what I learn is allowed from the convention. I will update the rules if that occurs.
