Detroit's { Anime / Manga / Gaming / J-Music } Experience
Anime Music Videos
To provide the most extensive programming for our attendees, Youmacon offers a 24-hour video/audio track. The VAT room covers the spectrum of fan-created videos, including AMVs, M@Ds, parodies, and more. Upon entering, you may encounter an AMV contest screening, a variety of VAT panels, or a selection of the best fan-created videos from around the world.
Anime Music Video Contest
Come see the best in AMV entertainment at the Youmacon AMV contest. Creators from all over have submitted their works of blood, sweat, and tears. Take a load off and prepare to be entertained. Come to main programming on Friday and vote for your favorite video and visit again on Saturday to find out the winners.
AMV Wars
The ever-popular challenge famous in Japan where you pit two chefs against each other and force them to make a meal is back with an otaku twist! Instead of chefs, we have AMV editors, and instead of making a meal, they make an AMV. We provide the footage and they supply the expertise. Come watch the action unfold as we give them two hours, a secret ingredient, and a theme chosen by you! Did we mention the free swag?
Everything You Really Need To Know About AMVs
but Didn't Know You Needed To Ask
Want to make an AMV? Want to make an AMV that doesn't suck? Want people to watch your AMV when you're done? We'll teach you everything you really need to know (even the stuff you didn't know you needed to ask).
The Youmacon AMV department is pleased to have the AMV Wars return once again to run their signature AMV challenge events. Having run their events at conventions such as Ohayocon, SugoiCon, and Anime Central, we are honored that they still refer to us as their home convention. Come see the action unfold right where it all started. For more information on the AMV Wars, their events, and how you can join in on the fun visit their Web site.
Happy Fun Time
Come relax as we play the funniest, happiest, and most fun AMVs of all time. Once you sit down you wont want to leave!

You need to be willing to put in...
Re: Suggestions for 2008
Nat-chan would now like to propose to you. But Ru-chan would devour his soul. So poor forlorn Nat-chan. Sailor Moon Centered AMV's would be a good idea.
