◄ Rules
- No mandatory theme: let your imagination run wild!
- Minimum duration: 1 min 30.
- The video must be exclusive to the contest and must not be publicly released before the end of the contest.
- Accepted formats: AVI, MP4, MKV and MOV.
- AMVs, GMVs and M@Ds are allowed.
- Plagiarism is strictly prohibited!
- No unintended distortion, interlacing or black bars.
- Maximum file size: 500 MB, with a maximum bitrate of 30 Mbps.
- No logos or subtitles, unless they are part of the video's concept.
- No intro or outro.
The footage used must have a direct and obvious connection to animation. Video game footage is also allowed. It is permitted to mix this footage with non-animation sources (drawings, 3D, etc.). Any video whose eligibility is unclear will be reviewed to determine whether it can be considered an AMV for the contest.
Each participant may submit multiple videos and/or MEPs, with a maximum of 5 entries per person.
◄ Anonymity
The contest is completely anonymous: the judges will not know the identity of the participants.
No intro, outro, signature or any other information that could identify the creator may appear in the video.
Failure to comply with this rule may result in disqualification.
◄ Artificial Intelligence
The use of AI as an assistance tool is allowed.
However, generating an entire scene with AI or using an AI-generated element as the main element of a scene is prohibited.
Secondary AI-generated elements, including backgrounds, are therefore allowed.
In case of doubt, the organizers may ask for further information regarding the use of AI in the video.
◄ Submitting your video
The video must be submitted through the website:
Profile > Contests > Online Contest 2026 > Edit button on the right > Submit my AMV
The file must follow this naming convention: The_Title.mp4 (or .mkv, .avi, etc.).
