[MinetChan]

Hello everyone! We are pleased to announce that Kumoricon 2017’s AMV Contest is ready for AMV submissions!


Please follow this link to reach our online rules/submission page: https://www.kumoricon.org/amv-contest


After a very successful first year at the Portland, Oregon Moda Center, with new and improved AMV programming and the most amount of AMV submissions ever received at Kumoricon, we are thrilled to continue making this one of the greatest AMV venues in the Northwest.


We also wish to thank Vlad Pohnert for his time and effort assisting us and hosting some of our newest AMV panels. We couldn't have made our growth possible without his support.




To spice things up this year, we have TWO new categories: FAN FICTION and GUILTY PLEASURES!


We are also pleased to announce yet another opportunity to be involved. We are opening up online submissions for one of our newest events from last year "AMV Battle Royale!!!"
We are looking for 4 qualified editors interested in editing in front of a live audience. This year we anticipate a larger turnout, as well as more amazing prizes!
If you think you have got what it takes, please follow this link to read more: https://www.kumoricon.org/live-amv-contest


We are so excited to continue hosting some of the best AMVs and AMV programming  in the Northwest — and it's all thanks to you that we can make this possible. We look forward to seeing what you create!


Let the Games Begin!!!

Here are this year’s rules! They can also be found on the Kumoricon AMV Contest page.


CATEGORIES:


There are SIX categories for the 2017 contest:


UPBEAT: We're looking for fast-paced fun.
INTENSITY: Action, suspense, conflict, triumph, and despair!
COMEDY / PARODY: Weird. Funny? Surprising!
COMMERCIALS / TRAILERS: Short, sweet and to the point!
FAN FICTION: Rewrite the anime. Make your wildest dreams come true!
GUILTY PLEASURES: Delightfully annoying and cringey. Take the worst of pop culture and make it great.


***CONTENT IS PG-13.
We try to run a clean show. This includes NO themes likely to insult
or disparage by race, social class, religion, ethnicity, gender,
or sexuality - because that's NO FUN for anybody.
