Addendums

1. There is no official "time limit" as to how long you edit your videos. But it is in your best interest to edit between 30 seconds and 5 minutes.

2. Manga do count as "anime" sources for AMVs as long as they are used in a way that they aren't just a simply a slideshow. Of course, only japanese manga are fine.

3. M@D is permittable, so long as the artwork is from a Japanese source and is made in such a way so that it is not a simple slideshow/art gallery.

A recent inquiry asked about time limits with videos.

As per the rules, there is no "official" protocol as to how long/short your AMV should be. However, as I have posted in the Tips/Tricks forums, it is within your best interest to make videos at least 30 seconds long and no longer than 5 minutes. While length is not a judging factor, this is just a general guideline to keep in mind).

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Important Announcement:

Due to the high volume of entries in the first two days of registration, we are setting a cap of 64 users to be registered for the contest. Meaning that once all 64 spots are taken, we will be closing registration.

That means that as of now (April 24, 5:53 PM CST), we have 25 spots remaining.

Please check the registration thread for the most up-to-date standing.

A recent inquiry was made, and I wanted to share this update.

Are Manga Music Videos allowed? I will follow the guideline that a-m-v.org uses for this.

Manga do count as "anime" sources for AMVs as long as they are used in a way that they aren't just a simply a slideshow. Of course, only japanese manga are fine.

And m@d ?

[CodeZTM]

And m@d ?

The same standard will apply. So long as the artwork is from a Japanese source and is utilized in such a way that isn't a mere slideshow/picture gallery, it's permitted.

This may sound silly but just to be sure... can we use more than one song? No I don't plan doing a 15 mins video ahah, but more like.. if a mix of songs is allowed or not
