Common Questions

Question: What are the VCAs?
VCA is short for Viewers Choice Awards. It's an annual contest that we hold here on AnimeMusicVideos.org where we vote on our favorite videos from the prior year, in this case 2014. It's like the Oscars if they were open for everyone to vote (that means you!) and if the Oscars were awesome.

Question: Can I vote for myself in the VCAs?
Answer: Yes. You can vote for whoever and whatever you want as long as they show up as a possible nomination.

Question: I'm not an editor but can I still vote in the VCAs?
Answer: Of course you can! As long as you are a registered member of AnimeMusicVideos.org you're welcome to vote for your favorite videos! Don't be afraid to post links to help grab some attention for AMVs that you think could use a little more love.

Question: Can I advertise for myself in the VCA threads?
Answer: Please do not advertise for yourself in the threads. While you're allowed to vote for yourself, the threads are for advertising and bringing attention to other videos. There is a shameless self promotion thread where you can advertise for yourself and your videos.

Question: I've posted my favorite videos on the forum. Does this mean I voted for them?
Answer: NO. The forums are simply for discussion of videos. If you wish to vote for them, there will be a separate form on the main website. Please keep an eye out for the form since it will not be available until the voting begins. Check the schedule of events to see when each round of voting begins and ends.

Question: My video/This video is not showing up as a possible nomination! What is wrong?
Answer: If it's your video, please double check the eligibility page to make sure you meet all the requirements.
If it is your video and everything looks good on that page or if it's another video that you simply know about but isn't showing up, please let us know ASAP in the EVERYTHING IS BAD FOREVER (Error Thread) thread.

Question: I don't want to take part in the VCAs even though I am eligible. How do I opt out?
Answer: Go to the Edit Profile section of the site and uncheck the box that says "All of my videos have been entered into the catalog"

Can we just update Best Horror to be Best Horror / Psych ?

Just want to make sure... to nominate an entry, do I just post in this forum or is there a web thingy I need to visit somewhere else?

Thanks.

It's another web thingy that Yue will announce and link to when nominations start. Hasn't started yet.

I can't seem to access the voting page...?

[ItacHidan]

I tried to access the nomination page but it brings me this message:

[BasharOfTheAges]

wow. This place is unusually dead this year. Has the disillusionment hit critical mass?

[CrackTheSky]

Seems to be a bit more active than last year, just from glancing at the 2014 VCAs subforum...
