Thank you to all the editors who entered our AMV Contest and attended our livestreams in 2023. Our contest keeps improving each year, and we couldn't do it without your talent and support. Our audience is stoked to see the new edits you've created and we’re excited to host this event again very soon!
AMV Contest
Here are this year’s major changes to rules. All additional rules can be found on the Kumoricon AMV Contest page.
Our MELTING POT category has been changed to primarily represent animated sources not traditionally considered "anime-styled." Strictly live-action entries are no longer allowed. A good example of an eligible entry that utilizes live-action is this video from one of our previous contests.
We now only allow 2 entries per person, with no more than 1 entry per Category. An editor may submit an additional entry if it is submitted to Melting Pot, Trailer, or Guilty Pleasures.
Our freshness rule now includes all entries that have premiered or been created no earlier than October 1, 2023.
HOW TO SUBMIT:
To submit, you MUST UPLOAD your file to the Kumoricon AMV Contest page.
DEADLINES:
Entries MUST be submitted by 11:59pm Pacific Daylight Time on August 31, 2024 (UTC 6:59am on September 1, 2024).
PRIZES:
Prize options are remaining largely the same, with the addition of requesting a comped badge for the Kumoricon weekend (if your entry is selected as a finalist).
*Small prizes are either an anime DVD/Blu-ray, a manga/art book, and/or a small figure.
**Large prizes are a premium merchandise item or a large figure.
