Anyone knows about an European convention near Belgium (England, Germany, ...)? I'd love to join you all but the US are a bit too far for me ^_^.

Thanks, the Netherlands are quite close to me.

What about AMV contests?

Heheh that one in the Netherlands has an AMV contest too. Thanks a lot iserlohn, I may go to this con.

NP. I tend to follow the German cons because I have a lot of friends who go to them. I dunno about which of them have contests, though. Animagic is corporate (the company everyone hates puts it on, apparently the con sucks too) so I doubt they have one. The others are, AFAIK, fan run, so what they have for programming depends on how many people they can get interested in it. I do know that Anime Marathon tends to be just that - a big marathon, but they do show AMVs. Good luck to you!

Hey, I'm going aswell (seeing as I live in the netherlands). I went last year as well (which happened to be the first year they had an AMV contest), their contest was ass-poor and a really bad video won. Anyway there'll be another contest this year there are 2 entries so far (at least that I know of) so more would be appreciated before they call the whole thing off.

Maybe I'll see you there...

Well they don't accept AMV over 3min due to some law restrictions. Mine is 2:42 + 46s of outro but I don't want to cut the outro off... I'm not sure already but I guess I'll have to find another con.

I know that is absolute ARSE! Why is your outro so special that you can't cut it off?

Yes

:D.

Maybe I'll go, I still have to discuss it with some friends.

Lol didn't read the whole sentence properly. I feel dumb now.

My intro isn't just a black pic with some text on, that's why.
