MomoCon 2020: Events & Editors' Dinner

[Kireblue]

Hello Everyone. I'm now starting the thread for MomoCon's 2020 AMV Events & Editor's dinner. The dinner will be held at Stats Sports Bar located about 2 blocks from the convention in downtown Atlanta. Its a great location, the price of the food is reasonable, and has something on the menu for everyone. Please message me if you'll be in attendance

We'll also have a "Editors' Social" that will take place in in the MomoCon suite at the Omni hotel on Thursday evening. We'll provide games, free food, refreshments, and snacks. Some of the games I plan on bringing are:

Jackbox
Tichu
Love Letter (Adventure Time Version)
Coup
Codenames
DropMix
Cartoon Network Crossover Crisis
Werewolf
New Salem
Super PACS!
Exploding Kittens
Bang!
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego Card Game

And possibly a few board games that I'm currently in the process of designing

Reservation Information

• AMV Social: Thursday May 21st, 2020 @ 7-10pm
  Location: Omni Hotel - 1518 Phoenix suite - 100 CNN CENTER, Atlanta, GA 30303
  _
• AMV Dinner: Friday May 22nd, 2020 @ 10:00pm
  Location: Stats Sports Bar - 300 Marietta St, Atlanta, GA 30313

*Note:It's highly encouraged for everyone to bring cash to pay for their food, but the restaurant has been pretty good in the past at splitting the orders and accepting cards. Judging by their menu, $15-20 should be more than enough to cover any of the meals and a tip.[/i][/list]

AMV & V-MIX Competition
Original Thread

I'm pleased to announce that MomoCon is now accepting entries for it's 2020 AMV & V-MIX Competition!
Entries will be accepted until Monday, April 20th, 2020 @ 11:59pm EST. Each AMV Contest finalist will receive a free 4-day membership to MomoCon 2020, and the winner of each category will receive a trophy and $75 Cash Prize. We're also giving $100 to the Coordinator's Choice Award winner, and $500 to the Director's Choice Award winner.

MomoCon's AMV Contest welcomes submissions from all forms of animation. We also have a separate V-MIX (Video Remix) Competition for Live Action submissions, Cosplay Music Videos, and animated music videos that would either be ineligible or doesn't fit into an AMV Contest category. V-MIX Competition winners will receive an award and a free membership to next year's convention (MomoCon 2021).

AMVs on Stage Concert
Original Thread

MomoCon is pleased to announce that our AMVs on Stage: Live Performance Concert will be returning for 2020! This year, we'll be working with YouTubers Adrisaurus (Adriana Figueroa), FamilyJules, Jayn, DAGames and annapantsu to showcase videos edited specifically for the event, and accompany them with music performed live on our concert stage. And so we're putting out an open call for editors to create new and exciting AMVs for it. Anyone selected to have their videos showcased will receive a free 4-day membership to MomoCon 2020!

Submission Deadline: May 6th
Concert Date: May 22nd
Location: Georgia World Congress Center - Atlanta Ga

As some of you may have just heard, MomoCon 2020 has been canceled due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. And so we're unfortunately unable to host the AMVs on Stage Concert this year. We expect to bring back the AMV Concert for next year's MomoCon, but since the guest list may possibly change, we can't guarantee that we'll have the same performers or that all of the currently requested songs will be available. But if so, everyone's song claims will be rolled over to 2021.

For those of you that have already completed your concert video, or are in the process of editing, we encourage you to submit it to our AMV Contest which is still accepting entries until April 20th. We're hosting the Contest LIVE on MomoCon's official twitch channel on Saturday, May 23rd @ 2:30 PM EST. Voting will be done online, so even though we're unable to hold the physical event, we hope that you still join us for the LIVE Stream.

But there will be a few changes to the awards and prizes. The biggest changes are that the cash prize for the Director's Choice winner will be reduced from $500 to $100, we aren't giving away a Theme or Editor's Choice Award, and we're unable to give any of the AMV or V-MIX winners a physical trophy or medal (at least for now). But all the other prizes will remain the same at $75 per category, $50 for the Judges' Choice winner, $100 for Coordinator's Choice, and a pass to Disney World for a special undetermined winner.

So for those keeping count, that sets our total cash prize giveaway at $700! And all finalists and winners for this year's contest will receive free 4-day membership to MomoCon 2021. 2019 Winners will also have their memberships rolled over to 2021.

The Contest Deadline is April 20th @ 11:59 PM EST
