Winners are currently planed to announced on the following day (after what will surely be a Monster/Red Bull/Bawls fueled night of tallying ballots). Exact time on the Awards Ceremony will be announced at the AMV contest on Day 2.

Look for some of those entries who didn’t make the finalists to show up in the Pre-Show.

Thank you all for your patience and support. We look forward to seeing you at the Anime Expo Anime Music Video Contest 2009!

Sincerely,
Michael G. Underwood

Didn't make it in this year. Looks like Rider has to wait for me to upload my video.

Congrats to the finalists and see you guys at the meet and greet!

Woo! one of my vids made it in! It wasn't the vid I was expecting, but I'm not gonna complain.

Congrats everyone! I'm going to have to go searching for whichever AMVs are uploaded here, I only recognize a couple. But more importaintly, now I can RELAX.
