This year, MomoCon will also be having a separate Video Remix (V-Mix) Competition that is open to all participants and welcomes submissions that use non-Japanese animation, original animation, machinima, video game, cosplay and even live action footage. Anime Music videos that would either be ineligible or do not fit into a category in the main contest are also welcome.

General:
1a) All submissions to the AMV Contest must consist of at least 50% Japanese animation, anime-style video game cutscenes or anime-inspired stills to be accepted into the competition.
1b) The V-Mix Competition is open to all participants and welcomes submissions that use non-Japanese animation, original animation, machinima, video game, cosplay and even live action footage. Anime Music video that would either be ineligible or does not fit into a category in the main contest are also welcome.
2) Videos must not contain watermarks or subtitles that were not inserted by the editor. Also, Since MomoCon will be making title cards for all of the finalists, we ask that your submissions do not include intros, credits, studio bumpers, lead-ins, or lead-outs that are not directly related to the video content.
3) Videos must be of reasonable video and audio quality. We suggest that your video resolution be at least 640x480, and your frame rate be 23.976fps or higher.
4a) Videos submitted to the AMV Contest must be under 8 minutes in length and only consist of footage edited solely by the entrant(s). Entries that use footage taken from other AMVs will be disqualified.
4b) Videos entered into the V-Mix Competition must be under 10 minutes.
5) Videos modeled after AMV Hell or similar styled "blipvert" formats will not be accepted into the main AMV Contest. Instead, we recommend that those videos be sent to the V-Mix Competition where they will be eligible to compete and win awards. Collabs and MEPs are allowed, but each participant must be listed on the submission form, and the video must only use a single audio track or a congruent audio mix.
6a) Entrants are only allowed to submit (1) video to a category. Also, entrants are only allowed to submit to (2) of the (6) categories. Entrants will be allowed to submit a 3rd entry if one of their submissions is to either the Trailer/ Parody or Comedy category. And lastly, a single video can not be submitted to more than one category.
6b) The V-Mix Competition does not have any categories, and so all videos submitted to it will be judged against every other video that's submitted. Entrants can submit up to 3 videos, and those videos will not count against any submission totals or restrictions for the AMV contest.
7) Submitted videos must not contain excessive violence, language or content that would place it above a PG13 rating. This rule will be enforced on a case-by-case basis.
8) Videos that were submitted to any prior MomoCon AMV Exhibitions or Contests are not eligible to participate. Also, videos that premiered before January 1st, 2014 are discouraged.
9) All submissions must be in MomoCon's possession by 11:59 pm (EST) on Monday, May 4th, 2015. Attendance to MomoCon is not required to enter the competition and will not improve your odds of winning.
Categories:
The AMV contest is split into six categories. Entrants are allowed to select the best fit category for each of their submissions, but if our judges strongly disagree with the genre of a submitted video, it may be moved to a better fitting category. The categories are as follows:
Action
Comedy
Fun / Upbeat
Drama / Serious
Romance / Sentimental
Trailer / Parody
*The V-Mix Competition does not have any categories, and so all videos submitted to it will be judged against every other video that's submitted.

Both forms require you to provide a download link of your video via a file uploading service like YouSendIt, or SendSpace. If using Google Drive or Dropbox, please ensure that the URL you send is a “shared” or “public” link. If your AMV is available for download on A-M-V.org, you also have the option of instead providing a link to it's video information page. Note: Youtube or ”streaming only” links will not be accepted.
If your video meets the necessary rules and requirements, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to you within 72 hours. Note: At any time, MomoCon reserves the right to not show or ultimately disqualify any submitted video for any reason.
File Formats:
MomoCon is able to accept videos in a wide variety of file types and even HD (720p or greater) videos. But even so, please do not upscale your videos. The preferred file type is MP4, but we also accept AVI, MPEG-2, WMV, MKV and many more. We strongly discourage submitting QuickTime, DivX, Real Media or Flash Video.
Judging:
After the submission deadline passes, our panel of judges will rate each video, and the top five AMVs from each category will be selected as a finalist and screened during the convention. Finalists will be announced and notified via e-mail about a week after the submission deadline passes. During the AMV Contest screening (May 30th, 2015) , MomoCon attendees will have the opportunity to vote on which video they feel should win each individual category. Once the votes have been tailed, the winners will be announced at the contest screening and via twitter https://twitter.com/MomoConAMVs
In addition to the awards voted on by the audience, there will also be a “Judges Choice”, “Director's Choice” and “Editors' Choice” award. The “Judges' Choice” Award will be chosen solely by MomoCon staff prior to the convention, but will not be announced until the AMV Contest. The “Director's Choice” award will be chosen solely by the Co-Chair/ Founder of MomoCon “Jessica Merriman”, and will also be announced during the AMV Contest. The “Editors' Choice” Award will be chosen by entrants that attend the convention, and will be announced at the end of the AMV Contest. Winning the “Judges' Choice”, “Director's Choice”, or “Editors' Choice” award will not disqualify a video from also winning an award from one of the main categories. Also, accepted videos that do not make the finals of the contest are still eligible to win the “Judges' Choice” and “Director's Choice” award, but only the finalists are eligible for “Editors' Choice” award.
Unlike the AMV contest, there will be no finalists for the V-Mix Competition. After the submission deadline passes, our panel of judges will choose videos to receive specific awards that will be announced during the V-Mix Competition screening (May 29th, 2015).
Note: Our panel of judges consists of over a dozen members of MomoCon's AMV and general staff. This includes various editors from AMV groups such as PixelBlended Studios, Chaotic Bad Raptor Studios, editors that aren't affiliated with any group, and also non-editors. MomoCon does not show any bias or favoritism to any particular group or editor, and takes steps to ensure that each video is judged fairly.
Prizes and Awards:
Each finalist in the AMV Contest will receive a free 4-day pass to MomoCon 2015. The top video in each category will also receive a trophy and prize pack consisting of DVDs, manga and various merchandise provided by our sponsors. Winners that are present at the convention will be required to show a photo ID in order to claim their prizes. Anything not claimed will be shipped out immediately after the convention.
