Hello, everyone!

There's only one week left to submit to Anime Boston, so please get your entries in soon!

We're particularly in need of entries to the Other and Trailer/Commercial categories, so if you have videos that would fit there, please enter them.

Thank you to everyone who's submitted so far, and I look forward to seeing what else comes in this week.

Overflow Showing

Videos that were not selected as finalists for the 2024 AMV Contest will be shown all day on Sunday in the Fan Creations Track (Hynes 312).

We do have far more videos than we can play even in that amount of time, so we would like to prioritize showing videos by editors in attendance. If you are attending the convention, you can speak to anyone at the tech desk at the front of the room during the showing to have your videos moved up in the queue to be played or to be replayed if you missed them earlier in the showing.

AMV Editors Dinner

If you will be attending Anime Boston and will be in town Thursday evening, please consider joining us at the AMV Editors Dinner. This is an unofficial event, open to everyone in the editing community. You can find the details and RSVP in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=35057

Fan Creations Track

We've got a whole weekend of blocks of AMVs and other Fan Creations planned for this year's convention. If you'll be attending, please stop by the Fan Creations Track in Hynes 312 and check out what we have to offer. You can follow any of Anime Boston's social channels to see the full schedule when it gets announced (usually 1-2 weeks before the con starts).

Thank you again to everyone who submitted this year. Without your entries, we literally would have no contest to show.

Oh god, I quickly double-checked the creator's name and yep Rider4Z, the person who made me BAWL MY EYES OUT last year with their AMV (they won Best Romance) is back (☍﹏⁰)｡

Are you making another gut-wrenching AMV Rider4Z, and if so how many tears must be shed until you are satisfied?!

I played, I kid you not, about 2 seconds of the AMV while looking up your YouTube channel and I. STARTED. CRYING.

It's been a year, and the pain is still there...

...I'll make sure to bring tissues this time. ╰(ɵ̥̥ ˑ̫ ɵ̥̥╰)

From a con-goer, can't wait to see what everyone's made! 🫶
