Lotta entries still pending inspection there

We’ve been doing them in batches every other weekend. We’ll probably do another batch this weekend, and probably every weekend onward as we approach the deadline.

NOTE: Those who wait to the last couple days to submit their entry likely won’t be provided to an opportunity to fix their entry if we happen to find an issue. So… there’s benefits to submitting well before the deadline. Just sayin’.

[Rider4Z]

Yaayyyy I passed all inspections XD

Can we get the winners posted please? This is my home con, so I like to see the history recorded for posterity

WINNERS PLAYLIST

Greetings, AMV Editors!


Another great Sakura-Con convention year has come and gone, and it has been our privilege to host your work at this year's AMV Contest! We'd now like to share the results with you!


Before we begin, we'd like to make an apology. It seems we had forgotten to send out an announcement of the list of finalists, as we should have done a couple weeks ago. We had notified the finalists directly, but we missed the important step of letting everybody else know as well, which thus left some of you hanging in wonder. That's an oversight we will definitely correct next year.


For those of you still curious as to the list of finalists, we'll do you one better: Attached with this email is an image of the Sakura-Con 2023 ballots!


Now then, without further ado, THE WINNERS!!!

And before you ask, Victoria, yes, I fixed the typo. Let us never speak of it again.

[Rider4Z]

S'alright I still got my physical copy.

Looks like you won the battle of the Cyberpunk trailers Rider. Not that I'm surprised.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about the frikkin Legos. But honestly the whole trailer category was really good. It could have been any of them.
