Anime Festival Orlando (AFO) 2022 - AMV + HMV Contests Now Open - Entries Due 6/12

Post by UForgotten » Tue Apr 05, 2022 1:03 am

Well, folks.... WE'RE BACK!!! After a 2-year pandemic-induced hiatus, AFO's AMV Contest returns for our *21st* year!
If you are a previous entrant to our contest, your account will still work.

We DO accept all entries from out of area (hence us posting it here on the ORG) but physical CON attendees are given precedence for awards.

We also give Judge's awards and a FAN FAVORITE (voted live by actual attendees at the show via mobile web+sms) which can go to anyone, anywhere, so bring us your best!

Visit our site to see the rules, register an account, submit your entry, and see past winners:
AFO AMV Contest Site

While the original AMV Contest is rated PG-13, we are also holding an 18+ AFO HMV Contest separate from the main contest that will be held on Saturday of the convention, please submit your HMV entries there.

ALL ENTRIES ARE DUE BEFORE Sunday, June 12th.
The AFO AMV Contest Event (PG-13 Rated) for Convention Attendees is Sunday June 26th.

We are as always, we are looking forward to your entries, and await awesomeness.

Your AFO Contest Host,
UForgotten

Can we submit eechi amvs to the 18+ contest? I have a video that's kind of borderline between PG-13 yet not quite HMV, but probably not suitable for the regular PG-13 showing.

Thanks for your interest. If it's not strictly an HMV but doesn't have pervasive nudity, go ahead and submit it to the main AMV contest.

If we decide it's past the line for our main event audience, we can send it over to the HMV folks for consideration.

Best Regards,
AFO AMV Contest Host

I don't see anything in our system from you unless you used a different handle/alias/username.

EDIT: Because the last two years have been a bit odd due to global pandemic etc, we will accept videos dated March 2020 and after. However, any videos receiving 3 or more awards at other conventions will likely not be considered to make room for newer & lesser known videos. We still want to have relatively fresh content but understand if it hasn't been easy to create it as of late.

Form appears broken, keep getting this message:

Code: Select all

Submission failed. Most likely you used illegal characters in your entrry. Try again, or Please contact the AMV Host.
Even tried filling it with one character in each box that was just a letter or number.

I think it is a bit misleading that your title says "Entries Due 6/12" when you mean BEFORE 6/12. I got the impression it was due the day of June 12th :?
