Anime NYC 2022 is set for this November, and those who participate in the timeless art of Animation Music Video (AMV) creation still have a chance to enter this year’s AMV Contest!

AMVs are fan-created videos, taking clips and moments from series, films, games, and beyond to turn them into fun experiences. Entrees will be judged by a panel, with tip entrees being screened and voted on by an Audience at the convention. This year’s Anime NYC AMV contest has a wide selection of genre options, giving creators the chance to participate!

The AMV Genres:

• Trailer – AMVs set to parody or otherwise utilize commercials, trailers, or other promotional media as the audio source for the video

• Action/Adventure – Videos that center on fast paced scenes and exhilarating moments in animation.
• Romance – Videos that focus on more emotional sentiments such as romance, platonic expression, character growth, etc.
• Drama – Videos that focus on more serious or thrilling moods and stories.
• Upbeat – Videos that are energizing, uplifting, and overall fun for the viewer.
• Comedy/Parody – Videos that make us laugh.
• AMV Shorts – A free for all fun for all, we will accept all short AMVs that adhere to our rules that have a minimum of 15 seconds, and a max of 1 minute. TikTokers welcome! Note: At least 5 AMV shorts will be showcased in the contest with one video being chosen by the judges as best overall AMV short.
