As usual, we had a truly excellent group of submissions, and I (and my other judges) feel truly lucky to have had the chance to watch them!
Editors watching this thread are free to provide any additional viewing/download information they are comfortable with. I've also put together a setlist on YouTube of those AMVs which are available there - not sure I can link it here but it should be public and searchable by the name of the convention. Streaming availability is not a requirement for entry, so not all AMVs will be available via that route.
Please Note: In addition to our category winners and Best-in-Show, we added two new awards this year based on fan votes at the AMV contest showing at the convention. These are "Fan Favorite" which is the overall highest vote-getter regardless of other awards, and "Fan Favorite: Best-of-the-Rest" which is the highest vote getter that did not otherwise receive an award from the formal judging process. It's something I've wanted to do for several years now and I think it went well - it's always fun to recognize more award winners
Thank you once again, everyone!
