The Categories:
• Editor Of The Year: Nominate an Editor you admire for Editor of the year!
Enter Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MdEp...
• Studio Of The Year: Do you run a studio? Or follow a truly inspiring one? Then put them forward for Studio of the year!
Enter Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-yJd...
• Best Basic Software: Basic programs like WMM and iMovie are by no means a limit to skill; an editor is defined by their ability to use their tools creatively, not by the sophistication of the tools.
Enter Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZcwv...
• Best Short Video: Can you impress in 60 seconds or less?
Enter Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpFMQ...
• Best Canon: Sometimes the true unadulterated beauty of a video game's story is all you need. The true skill lies in invoking those same feelings faithfully.
Enter Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWKMn...
• Best Collaboration: Two's company, and sometimes that's all that's needed for a wonderful collabrative GMV.
Enter Here:

Enter Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHhb9...

Enter Here:

Enter Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJNz...

Welcome back to the Tenth Annual GMV Awards!
Hello all ♥ We are currently seeking our judging panel for the upcoming GMV Awards 2020. The panel will consist of editors pulled from the gmv community. This year judges may not enter any categories as contestants. This is meant to help deal with issues with transparency and judging in past years.
Judges are responsible for judging every video assigned fairly and without bias. Our mark schemes have been vastly overhauled to create an easier, more fluid judging to prevent judging burnout. We will still expect judges to provide the excellent feedback that they have in past years! We will, additionally, have examples for providing constructive feedback!
If you are interested in judging any amount of categories, please apply here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdXnBVqmBJIniw1ZNWHLGZY-sleQrFq4ppIhxeheTyK8yKUJQ/viewform
You will not be judged on your editing ability, but we are looking for active gmv editors. Sign up closes August 28th.
Categories were voted on by the public and those in our discord server. They will be: Best Storyteller, Best Effects, Best Relationship, Best Crossover, Best Tragedy, Best Group/Collab, Best Canon, Best Masking
We greatly appreciate your continued support over the years and hope you will continue to be involved ♥
We continue to accept opinions and critiques in our public discord:
