Kawaii Kon Virtual 2020 - Virtual Fan Contest

[808-buma]

Any news about this contest?

Hey there!

Because of the unexpected amounts of entries for this online contest, we had to change it up a bit and had to pre-judge all entries and change the at-con event to semi-finals, with the winners announced this coming Sunday. We're just finishing up pre-judging and getting things in order for this weekend so we'll be posting the semi-finalists up shortly.

Thx!

As much as we wanted to take over an entire day with the 80 videos we got for this contest (btw, thanks for everyone who entered - we were floored!) my Events Director would have probably hurt me... she's small, but mighty!

So, the VAST directors did a pre-judging over the weekend, and from our initial judging results, the following are the semi-finalists, in alpha by editor names (with abbreviated vid titles):
AnimeTwins (Beat)
Cirera (Frida)
Dexter (Marv World)
DopplerDo (Sboy & Everything)
drewaconclusion (Fine & RRash)
E_01 (Conq)
James Blond (Love)
Kireblue (Trep)
Luna Starfall (Rev & Cross)
Milan21 (ID & Free)
Nekroz (Punish & Zonia)
Opner (Journey & Blade)
ProjectTwinsAMV (Fine)
Rider4Z (Rending & Fashion)
shorisquared (Happy)
Silent Hero Studios (Bang)
SOGESNAKE (Auto)
Speedy180 (Tin & River)
Tasha L (Adrift)
thefanvideor2 (Losing)
Tigrin (Show & Break)
TwigglyFiggly (Drown & Break)
UnluckyArtist (Too & Eiko)
vampirekat (Dreams)
Zeeruy (NorN)
ZeonicFreak (Ganymede)

Voting will take place over Friday and Saturday and the winners will be shown on Sunday night. All videos entered will be placed on a playlist for kon-goers to enjoy for at least the following week, so please don't remove your videos quite just yet if you don't mind.

We'll post the winners here following the show. Good luck everyone and thanks again for entering!
