AMV Competition
An AMV, or Anime Music Video, is a creative video montage made by fans using footage from anime series or movies set to music, typically songs or soundtracks. These videos often feature clips carefully selected to match the music’s rhythm, lyrics, or mood, creating a dynamic and visually engaging experience. AMVs can range from action-packed sequences showcasing epic battles to emotional montages highlighting character relationships or themes.
Our AMV competition is returning this year, and we’re so excited to see what our attendees create! All AMV applications and winners will be showcased at the festival over the weekend! Learn more about the rules here!
Entries for the AMV Competition have now closed! However, entries are still open for our Pre-Drawn Competition, click here to learn more!
