There’s less than a week remaining to submit to the AMV Contest for 2024! This goes for both contests! Please be sure to get your entries in!
Visit the AMV page for all information and submissions.
The AMV Contest is back again! We are accepting submissions for the main contest and the returning NSFW contest until September 2nd! Panel submissions are being accepted through September 1st! See the rules page for more details!
This year’s events are as follows:
The Main AMV Contest
Any AMVs submitted to this should be for a general convention audience. An all-aged audience may be in attendance. Any AMV disqualified due to content will be shifted to the NSFW Contest or an After Hours showcase dependent upon the Editor’s request.
**RETURNING FOR 2024!!** The NSFW Contest (18+ content allowed)
Try your hand at being naughty or giving nightmares! Two categories available and live action videos will be placed in one of those categories as normal. Relaxed restrictions on violence, gore, nudity, or language. Please see rule #3 for more information.
AMV Showcase
AUSA AMV Staff will choose videos that did not make the final cut. If an AMV is disqualified but it falls within the rules of the main contest, it will be shown here time permitting. You may also request to have a video go directly into this showcase. The AMV staff will determine what content will be placed in this panel. Videos going directly into the showcases will not count against the amount of videos allowed for the submission in the contests.
**RETURNING FOR 2024!!** AMV After Hours Showcase
Similar to the regular showcase, but with 18+ content allowed, following the same guidelines as the NSFW contest.
AMV Panels
Do you like AMVs and want to share thoughts you have about them? Do you make AMVs? Are you an AMV Judge at another con? If you wish to discuss AMVs then apply for a panel spot! The AMV Department Coordinator will inform anyone of accepted panels, and the panel times. These panels are for anything to do with AMV’s, your top 10, your best editing tips, your best tips to have AMV’s judged well in contests. Also if you wish to have 18+ content please inform us on your panel submission. You do not need to be an editor or staff to present a panel.
**RETURNING FOR 2024!!** Fan Parodies
We may show some parody videos/movies at Anime USA. We have even been able to secure an exclusive screening of AMV Hell 8! If you know of a fan parody you would like to have shown or you made one yourself let us know!
