Entering the final hours. Holding off on confirmations and focusing on collecting all the vids at the moment. I'll work on the final batch of confirmation e-mails tomorrow; if you don't hear from me by tomorrow night, feel free to reach out to check at jwcolossal@gmail.com.

Submissions have been closed. Thanks to everyone for their interest/submissions.

All confirmation e-mails for the AWA contests should be done now. In the event I've missed someone or the numbers I gave you don't sound right or I otherwise missed something, jwcolossal@gmail.com.

After the VAT Awards Gala starts during the convention, the results will show here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yj7ybkfM10

I'll also put up a text post. Either immediately after if data connection around the con is cooperative, or as soon as I'm far enough off-site for a good data connection after leaving for the day.

Thanks to everyone for yet another great year in the Video Art Track at Anime Weekend Atlanta. We will be putting out a feedback form to the editors after we've had a little recovery time. Constructing the feedback form is a 2025 me problem, I think.

Is there also going to be an announcement for the AOMV contest?

[Colossal]

Reached out to the person who ran that particular contest for the information. Will add it once I have it.
