2025 AMV Contest (deadline 4/12/25) and HAMV Contest (deadline 5/3/25) - Open for Entries!

Post by LantisEscudo »

Hello, everyone!

I'm happy to announce that the AMV Contest for Anime Boston 2025 is now open and accepting entries!

There's been a few changes this year, so please make sure you read the rules before submitting. The high points of the changes:
  • The deadline for submissions to be uploaded to our servers is 11:59 PM Eastern Time on April 12, 2025.
  • Freshness cutoff is one year before the convention. Videos publicly available before May 23, 2024 are not eligible.
  • Content is restricted to a PG-13 rating.
  • Category descriptions have all been updated to hopefully improve clarity.
  • Fun/Comedy and Romance/Sentimental have been renamed to Fun/Humor and Sentiments to better describe the types of videos the categories are intended for.
  • The Trailer/Commercial category has been retired. Trailers and Commercials can still be entered, but they'll compete in the most appropriate category for their content (Drama for serious ones, Fun/Humor for comedic ones, etc.).
  • Minimum duration for videos has been increased from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.
  • A new Shorts category has been added for videos between 15 and 60 seconds in duration.
  • The maximum number of entries an editor may contribute to has been updated to a maximum of two main category videos (one per category) and up to five Shorts.
  • Generative AI content is prohibited, in particular "deepfake" audio.
The full rules are available here.
The submission form is available here.

Also this year, the Hentai AMV Contest is returning!
Thanks in advance to everyone that submits, and I can't wait to see what people have come up with this year.
