Congratulations to all the finalists! It's looking like every category is gonna be tough to judge. It was tough enough to determine which videos moved on to be finalists. Even some good entries couldn't make it in this year. I think some videos will be so close that my judges and I might have to adjust the granularity of our voting scheme from 1/4 points to 1/10 points.

What's tough for us is good for you. There will be entertaining videos in the general contest screening on Sunday that you won't see in the finalists screening on Friday. You guys should definitely consider checking out the general screening if you're on the fence. See you at the con!

*Some entries were received from Honduras, Russia, Trinidad & Tobago, Italy...and maybe a few others too

Yes~! I will be volunteering for the second time this year,
cosplaying as Cardcaptor Sakura!

My penname is "The Lonely Hero" (my mantra is "The Lonely Hero Lives"),
but I'm called "Maddie Kokiri", and often "Kokiri girl" or "Kokiri" all by itself!

My entry was "Far Off Memory; Scattered Dream".

I'm so happy to make the finals!
This is the first music video contest I've entered, and video editing means the world to me
because my passion is storytelling, and my lifetime dream is filmmaking!

Thank you so, so much!!
I hope I get to see the reactions of attendees to my creation!
