Categories:
Entries will be judged in the categories of Drama, Action, Comedy, Dance/Upbeat, and Romance. Awards will be given for the best entry in each category, a single Best in Show, and there will likely be Judge’s Choice Awards as well.
Judging:
The entries will be screened and judged prior to the convention. We will only show as many videos as can be fit into the time period allotted to us.
Awards:
The winners will be announced and awards given out and the winning entries re-played at a special panel on Sunday of the convention.
Exhibition:
If you would prefer to enter your video for exhibition purposes only, please indicate so on your entry form. Please take note that exhibition videos may be cut due to time restraints. Anime Detour staff members must enter under this category.
NOTE: Anyone may enter the contest, but judging will be heavily-weighted towards entrants who are either local to Minnesota and its surrounding states and/or are registered for and attending Anime Detour. Prizes will not be mailed outside the country, sorry.
