Kumoricon 2022 AMV Contest - Award Winners Up!

[DopplerDo]

Yep. I understand that. I respect how and why that is generally done, but I don't like this particular flavor. I realize that constructive feedback is not in oversupply, so I thought I would brave giving it.

Hi editors!

The Kumoricon AMV Contest Livestream link is ready! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZvIf1gRcVI

Please join us on Friday, November 11th @ 2pm PST. You can schedule a reminder for yourself by clicking the bell icon at the bottom of the video preview. If you miss the premiere, the video will be archived to the same YouTube channel for future viewing.

The first 30 minutes is a Preshow of non-finalist videos and we will also have a 30 minute Aftershow with some more non-finalists. These videos are all up for a Best Non-Finalist award. If you would like to know if one of your entries will be shown, please visit this link to view the non-finalist videos and their play order.

The full contest (plus non-finalists) will last approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes. There will be no online voting for the livestream, but we do encourage everyone to join the chat that YouTube includes as a part of their premiere feature. We had a lot of online participation last year and lively discussion, so this is a great time to get live feedback regarding your entries.

Please also note that three videos were muted due to copyright claims. Unfortunately, we don't have the time to contest these claims as fair use, so here are links to them below for your own viewing. This will not impact voting at the convention. It just impacts the livestream. 

#1B Neglect Me Not by Trenzilla
#1E A Flash of Light by UnluckyArtist
#4G Love Is Not a Victory March by DopplerDo

Following the contest, a Winner's Livestream will take place on Sunday, November 13th @ 4pm PST. The link for this livestream will be sent out a day prior, so keep a lookout for it. If anyone has any questions or concerns, do let me know.

Thank you all for submitting your videos — we couldn't do this without you!

Hi editors!

The much anticipated Winners Livestream link is ready! We will be live tomorrow (Sunday, Nov. 13th at 4pm PST).

If you cannot make the livestream, the playlist will be archived for later viewing. The playlist is approximately an hour in length and features 18 awards, (our largest number to date). The awards consist of Best Category awards (voted on by our audience) and Unique Awards determined by our judges. We will be in contact with our award winners shortly after the convention to confirm addresses and prizes.

We cannot say this enough, but thank you all for creating such amazing videos and for sending them to our contest -- it is an honor to showcase them in-person and online.

Thank you once more!

Hi editors!

We had another amazing show this past weekend! Our audience had a great time and had much difficulty picking their favorites due to how strong your submissions were. Seriously, some of these videos won by a few votes (I've added runner-ups to the list). Thank you all again so much for your time and effort. It means so much to have such talented editors supporting our contest!
