- Up to 2 entries per team OR person. Multiple entries are allowed (max 2). Please fill up one submission form per entry.
- By submitting your video(s), you agree to let us play, copy, and use it to promote the event. Requests for removal will be put into consideration and handled on a case by case basis.
- Most of your video must be anime/video game footage. This is an anime convention. Use your best judgement.
- Most of your audio must be music. There is no arbitrary magic number for the amount of music. Some narration/dialog is fine. Use your best judgement.
- NSFW content should be limited.
- The screening is open to the general public. Entries with excessive offensive language, nudity, and/or violence might not be accepted. We accept entries with some NSFW content, but keep it reasonable. Use your best judgement.
- Please do not include intros or outros that are more than 20 seconds long. It is fine to integrate credits into the AMV itself.
- If your entries have won 1st place/Best in Show at any other conventions before 5th August 2016, it will not be accepted.
- This is to give everybody a fair chance. This rule only applies to those who won 1st place/Best in Show. 2nd+/runner-up is fine.
- All winning AMVs will be available on Anime Revolution’s YouTube account within 3 weeks post-convention. Winning participants can request to have the posting of their submission delayed for up to 2 months. Basically, if you don’t want it posted yet for whatever reason, just let us know.
- All submissions must be labelled in the following format:
(AMVtitle)_Nickname_FirstnameLastname_email[eg, (Pure)[email protected]] If the submissions are not labelled in the format above, the submission will be automatically disqualified.
Breaking any of these would likely disqualify your entry. This WILL be enforced more strictly for this year’s contest.
- Don’t use content from streaming sites like YouTube/Crunchyroll/etc.
- No subtitles, watermark, or logos on the entry that was not added by you. Broadcast watermarks are fine. We’ll arrange to let you watermark your own entry before it gets posted online.

- No interlaced footage in the entry. Progressive please.
Accepted File Formats & Codecs
You will have a chance to resubmit if it’s not in an accepted format. Quality is not guaranteed if we fix it for you. Please avoid 10bit entries for now.
Video:
This is to avoid having to deal with playback issues on exotic format. This is not difficult to correct but it is unnecessary work.
- H.264/AVC (.mp4 container, this is the preferred format)
- MPEG2 (.mpg container)
- MPEG transport stream (.TS container)
- AVIs are fine, but H264 AVIs are automatically rejected; no exceptions
Audio:
This is flexible as long as audio quality is not severely degraded
Resolution:
This is flexible as long as the aspect ratio is correct. Here are some suggestions:
- 640×480
- 720×480
- 1280×720
- 1440×1080
- 1920×1080
Frame Rate:
This is to minimize playback issues
Either 23.976fps (24fps) or 29.97fps (30fps)
Playback
The equipment is not finalized yet. It is difficult to know what the playback resolution will be or what is even available. This likely won’t be finalized until after the contest entry period ends.

This video got me excited and ready for more, a good video to show someone new to Anime.
Judge Picks (Scored per video 1 to 5)
Best Editing:
The video stands out as an excellent example of video editing. Things to watch for would be well timed
choreography between the video and music (IE: do keyframes in the video sync to the music), and
altering and re-purposing footage from the source anime. (IE: did the video creator alter the source
footage to make a new scene)
Best Composition:
The video stands out for it’s composition. The scene and music selection work together to tell a story of
their own and show a creative or artistic intent from the creator.
Best Original Content:

video, can be 3D assets, original art, or music.

- Memorization of the lyrics is required for the AR Idol finals, but entrants may use a cheat sheet for the preliminaries ONLY.

- Only one entry per person/duet is permitted. Duets are considered one entry. Group acts are reserved for AniRevo’s Got Talent (sorry!)

If you have any specific questions regarding the use of instruments, please note this in the notes section on the submission form. Audio files will only be accepted via Dropbox link in .mp3 format.

It is recommended that hopeful participants pre-register for Idol due to the organizational complications of registering on site. An entry cap of thirty (30) entries has been imposed (duet entries are considered to be a single entry.) In the event of a cancellation or no-show, interested parties present at the preliminaries who did NOT pre-register will be allowed to participate until the limit has been reached. It is not guaranteed that there will be space for those who do not pre-register.
- Pre-registered participants have until one week before Anime Revolution 2018 to change their song selections. Any submitted after Friday July 27th, 2018 will not be accepted.
