Guidelines
All entries must be submitted by 11/14 so the judges can accurately judge them. Late entries will not be allowed without prior approvals from the judging staff.
All entries must meet PG-13 Guidelines. Any entries with excessive violence or offensive language will immediately be rejected.
All entries should not exceed five minutes in length. There will be a small amount of time allowed over five minutes based on the decision of the AMV judging staff.
The AMV judging staff and A2F Chairman/Vice Chairman reserve the right to rejecting any entries they feel do not meet required standards.
In the description of your entry please state if it has won an award at any previous AMV contest and what award it received.
If you win an award and would prefer your real name and not your Youtube username to be placed on the certificate please send a message to the ArkansasAnimeFestival Private Message Box with the name you want placed on any certificates awarded.
AMVs will primarily be judged based on editing abilities other detail count towards the overall score but at a much smaller rate.
If you have any questions or need to discuss a late entry please send a message to the ArkansasAnimeFestival Youtube Private Message Box.
If you will not be able to attend A2F please let the judges know before the convention so they can arrange delivery of any certificates that you may win in the contest.
