What 18+ AMV Contests do others know of?

[alphasigmaevolved]

Hello, I was wondering what contests usually run for 18+ AMVs (HMVs). There are a few that I saw after looking through this forum a little bit, although I was curious about others that have been around here longer.

I try to indicate submission deadline alongside what I observed, some of them have already passed, but this is for a general reference of what's available.

Technically a separate 18+ AMV panel. See viewtopic.php?f=5&t=133466

Due to the content that's in these types of videos as well, you can't reliably find them on mainstream sites like YouTube. I am aware of several other sites where they can be found, but that's outside the scope of this thread and forum rules. If you're interested in having a site to persist them outside of these contests, feel free to send me a DM for more info.

Post any other if known here

NekoCon has already happened this year although I see this in their rules:

5) The contest IS PG-13, but the following excessive materials may not be allowed: blatant nudity, excessive blood with major dismemberment, overly foul language/lyrics, racial or verbal obscenities, and any form of suicide. Videos with content that is questionable will be put in a special screening to see if it’s acceptable for showing to a con audience.

Seems like in 2022 they had a 12 AM - 1 AM time slot for an 18+ AMV showcase.

MTAC 2019 had an Extreme AMV Contest and Video Showcase (18+) late night. Not sure if they've brought this back since then.

While I don't have a 18+ contest yet, I do have an 18+ amv panel, so if any you have 18+content that want to be shown feel free to send them over to me.

Hey Lang, where?

Hey Lang, where?

I sent CDLang84 a private message of my videos. You can probably do the same and he can get back to you.

[alphasigmaevolved]

So an update on the above: There's a thread now and CDLand84 did mention an 18+ AMV panel that can be submitted to.

I guess we can sort of add Zenkaikon to the list with that panel in mind

Hey! I do a NSFW AMV Panel for Nekocon (it was 2 hours this year) but since it isn't a contest I don't advertise it. If people would like to potentially submit to be added in the line up I already have that is something I can work on for the coming year!

That's also something that's good to know. If there are NSFW/18+ AMV panels, it doesn't necessarily have to be a contest per se.
