AMV Contest Application

  • Anime Magic! is proud to announce our Anime Music Video Showcase! Use your editing skills to set the stage for an exciting and fun showcase where you attempt to captivate an audience with your melding of sound and sight, where your submissions will be played live on stage for the enjoyment of our audience! We can't wait to see what you are able to create!

  • 1. All entries must be a "single editor project" and each applicant will be allowed to submit a single video for consideration for this event, per person. 

    2. Video submissions can have been produced during the 2024-2025 calendar year, but not before. If you have one ready to go that was produced between Jan 01 2024 and July 2025, it is eligible for consideration. 

    3. Do not submit work that does not belong to you. Doing so will result in removal from the showcase and a permanent ban from participating in future Anime Magic related AMV showcases. 

    4. Promotion of products, personal projects, other conventions/events, will disqualify you from consideration for participation. If you are accepted and you alter your edit to include any of these things, you will be permanently banned from participating in future Anime Magic related AMV showcases. 

    5. Video submissions must be between 1 and 5 minutes in length including any opening bumper/closing transition credits. 

    6. Video submissions featuring political rhetoric, explicit sexual content, overly lewd (PG-13 or less, please) content, or hate speech of any sort will not be considered for the contest and will result in a permanent ban from future Anime Magic related AMV showcases. 

  • Our production team reserves the right to deny the inclusion of a video submission or to disqualify an accepted participant/video at their discretion. 

    Try to make sure that when formatting/editing your videos that you are considering the quality of the video/encoding, editing, aspect ratios, or other video related abnormalities before submitting. For example, consider whether or not a video formatted for mobile would look good on a large projector screen. 

    If your video presents issues that prevent our production team from integrating your submissions into the editing software we cannot include it in the showcase. 

    Please only submit ONE entry per person. Secondary submissions will not be reviewed/included.
