Let's Talk About AMV Overload What is AMV Overload? Due to the high number of AMV Contest entries and limited finalist spots, we created 'AMV Overload' — a non-competitive showcase for standout videos that didn’t make the final cut but still deserve recognition. What's been going on with Overload the past couple years? Simply put, this event hasn’t received the attention or respect it deserves. While I could point to the constant staff transitions across departments as an explanation, the reality is, it doesn’t change the outcome. This event has struggled for years, and that’s simply inexcusable. What is the plan moving forward? As of this year, we’ve brought on a dedicated AMV staff member whose sole focus is running Overload, our very own 'Overload Overlord,' if you will. The AMV team has also invested in our own equipment, separate from the main convention’s, giving us almost full control over the technical side. We’re collaborating closely with panel staff to run the room in a way no other viewing panel has before. Simply put, Overload is basically now fully in our hands. Anything else? We want Overload to feel like a true event, because it is! It's a showcase of outstanding work that stands on its own, even outside the main contest. That’s why, starting this year, we’re introducing Honorable Mention awards, selected exclusively from Overload entries. These awards will be chosen by our judging staff during the anonymous review process. Winning videos will be marked during the event with a special banner or title screen, and winners will also be recognized at the Contest Awards ceremony on Sunday. Awards can be picked up there, and any not claimed will be mailed to their recipients That’s a quick overview of the situation! We’ll be including more details about the Honorable Mention awards in the letter that comes with the AMV Badges, so be sure to keep an eye out for that! Feel free to respond with any and all questions, comments, or concerns! <3
