As every year, the LVL Up competition is underway, but this year there's a big change!
The competition is now open to all possible participants! You can choose to register in one of two categories:

NOVICES

The usual category! If you consider yourself a beginner and still need to solidify the basics, then this category is for you! Find your pro, who will support you during the creation of your AMV, and sign up!

CHALLENGER

New this year! In fact, AMV France, with a view to being more flexible about participation given the feedback you gave us last year, has decided to create this second category for registrations! For this one, there will be no level restrictions, but the principle will be the same! Find a pro who can share their knowledge with you and join the battle!

IMPORTANT

AMV France reserves the right to move a contestant from the Novice category to the Challenger category if we believe that their overall level is above what we consider to be a novice. This will be done on a case-by-case basis and after prior discussion with the contestant and their pro.

And what about the rankings? What's changed?
This year there will be two rankings! One ranking for AMVs in the Novice category, as usual, since that's the heart of the competition, and an OVERALL ranking combining Novice and Challenger competitors!

Join us now and be part of the adventure!
