AMV Contest
Lights on, music up—it’s time to celebrate the creativity and passion of the AMV community! Our AMV Contest invites editors of all experience levels to bring their stories to life through anime and music.

If you’re new to the scene, an AMV (Anime Music Video) is a fan-made video that blends anime footage with music to create something emotional, exciting, hilarious, or visually stunning. It’s an art form built on timing, storytelling, and love for the medium—and it’s one of the most anticipated showcases at the convention!

From high-energy action edits to heartfelt dramas and clever comedies, we welcome AMVs of all styles and genres. Selected entries will be screened during a special showcase at the con, with top videos earning awards and bragging rights!

Not an editor? No worries! The AMV screening is open to all attendees, so come enjoy the show and support the incredible talent in the fandom.

Submissions open until: July 22nd, 2026
AMVs will be screened: At HachiCon 2026
Winners announced: At the HachiCon Award ceremony
