good luck on your first AMV Contest!

Just wanna give you some advice as a fellow contest coordinator though. You really shouldn't have your deadline so close to the convention. You may receive upwards of 200 or more submissions, so you should give yourself at least 2 weeks to watch/ judge the videos and prepare for the event. But since you're on a pretty tight schedule, I'd recommend that you change your deadline to September 30th so that you'll at least have 1 full weekend to prepare.

Thank you very much for wishing me luck! I would have wanted more time but I only just got the confirmation today that I would be able to host. Since it is close to the deadline, I did want to give more time for people to submit. I already have a planned day off to watch and judge the majority of the edits the day after the deadline! I also broke it down to have about 2-3 hours after work to watch the edits and categorize them if I needed more time to do so. To be on the safe side, I will push back the deadline to the Saturday before thought just in case :)

So far we have 38 submissions! Everyone that has entered did a fantastic job in their edits. We currently need more romance and short edits as they are falling behind the other two categories. If you have any romance edits or short edits (Or any category really) be sure to submit them before 10/05 (2 weeks)!

Also a few minor changes have been made to the rules to help with any confusion.
