What is an AMV?
An anime music video, or AMV, is a short video in which clips from one or more anime are edited to music. AMvs have been made by anime fans for decades, and can span many genres and can serve many different purposes. An AMV may make you laugh, cry, look at a familiar anime in a new way, or make you interested in a new anime.

What is the AMV Contest?
The Tora-Con AMV Contest is a competition in which editors send us their AMVs in hopes of winning one of 10 contest awards, including the coveted “Best in Show” award. Each year, we receive dozens of entries to the contest. Tora-Con judges will choose the finalists, and our attendees will choose which finalists are the winners! Come to the AMV Contest during Tora-Con to watch all of the finalists and vote for your favorites!

How to I enter the contest?
First, read the contest rules carefully! There are many requirements for an AMV to be accepted into the contest. Then create your AMV and enter it into the contest using the "Enter the Contest" link below.
