Hello everyone and welcome to results for the 10th Annual GMV Awards! This year we sought to return to our community based roots- and we had a blast! Congratulations to all our winners! Your videos will be featured on the GMVA page in a winners playlist!
Hello everyone and welcome to the 10th Annual GMV Awards! This year brings new changes and old favorites. The biggest change is that we are crowdsourcing everything. We have advertised a public discord, linked below, and all categories, mark schemes, and rules were discussed and voted on. No judges will be allowed to enter the awards and all mark schemes are linked publicly on the videos. We are striving for a community based competition- but we need you to make it work! We look forward to seeing what you've got!
Introducing: The Editor Appreciation Reel! This is the perfect way to acknowledge your favorite editor! When the awards conclude, we will be featuring your favorite editors on the channel; nominating your friends can be a fun surprise for them or a nice promotion! In order to submit, you will need a link to their youtube channel and your reasoning ♥ It's that simple. All GMV editors will be accepted and showcased. Enter nominations here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf8bmDPgiX90aUEEjz7_wE_U7mJuoXl6aOAEZ-X4B7dWLJHHA/viewform?usp=sf_link
• BEST TRAGEDY: youtu.be/wbyodvysrZs[GMVA 2020] JUDGING PANEL SIGNUPSGMV Awards2020-08-04 | 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!
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: discord.gg/q2C3th5 --- Video edited by Railitto, Intro and Icon by Blue24601GMV AWARDS 2020GMV Awards2020-05-31 | Hello and Welcome to the Tenth Annual GMV Awards!
This year's awards are undergoing many changes, and we want your opinions to be heard! As a result, we have opened a public discord here: discord.gg/q2C3th5
Some changes are already in progress! This year marks the beginning of admin changes. with this year's admins being Blue24601 and Railitto. For the first year ever, we will crowd-source several of the main rules of the GMVAs, including which categories will be involved and how judging will be handled. The GMVAs have always been about the community, and we feel community involvement is necessary to make the awards move smoothly and appeal to new faces. So please, feel free to join and invite other GMV editors!
We will be seeking our judging panel in July by our current plan. More information will follow on this year's categories.
We greatly appreciate your continued support over the years and hope you will continue to be involved ♥

Congratulations contestants for your honored and valued edits, you all deserved them! We sincerely hope you all had a great time editing and developing for the future of GMV editing.
As the host, I appreciate everyone coming forward with their opinions on how they feel in response to the awards and I wish to make a small note here, while we congratulate the winners in the categories, the staff of the awards do notice the others. Each one of the contestants videos were watched and was taken into full consideration when judging in these awards. We can not award everyone for their participation albeit we wish we could. In turn, I would encourage the head judges to message their category contestants and offer the feedback to them, as it appears that often contestants don't realize they can ask for feedback or feel anxious to ask, so if we politely offer we can give the contestants their feedback of which they deserve to see.
This is my special thank you to all those editors who took their time, their patience, their hard work and their efforts to help be apart of this community and this special annual event. Thank you everyone. You are amazing. - Lacrymosai

The Annual GMV Awards of 2014 has come to an end. Congratulations contestants for your honored and valued edits, the staff of the awards are pleased it had such a positive response.
We sincerely hope you all had a great time editing and developing for the future of GMV editing. With so many fantastic entries, our judges had quite a time watching and carefully judging, there was plenty of bumps along the way but we made it through. This is my special thank you to all those editors who took their time, their patience, their hard work and their efforts to help be apart of this community and this special annual event.
The awards for 2015 are right around the corner! I look forward to seeing all these amazing edits again!

Be assured that the awards are still alive, and we intend to provide them for as long as the community wants to take part in them. That being said, this year judges have been very thin on the ground, which slowed the process significantly. Also, our leader, due to the completely understandable circumstances of getting engaged to her boyfriend, starting TWO new jobs, and moving house, had to leave us half way through. Hopefully you can understand these circumstances, and continue to enjoy the awards regardless. The categories for the 2015 GMV Awards will be released shortly! I hope you'll join us!

Doesn't it give you feels???
Thank you so much to everyone who completed a part! I'm so sorry this took so long to get finish, I ended up with many laptop problems and having to replace it, which took longer than expected. But finally, here it is! You all did so fantastic! Thank you for helping the GMV Awards Celebrate 5 Years. Don't forget to subscribe to all the participants! ~ Jessie
In an attempt to simplify how contestants can enter the GMV Awards we are considering changing things next year. In the past, categories have been run from the Head Judge's channels and all entries sent to them. Duplicates of the videos are posted on this channel as means of promotion, but links must be followed to the originals in order to enter via comment or to PM the Head Judge.
We are considering putting all the category videos on this channel, and using it as the only recipient for entries. That way, everything is in the same place and is easily accessible. Let us know if you would prefer this by voting in this poll.
And please tell us your views regarding this issue or any others, we like to know what you the contestants want for the awards!

Stick to the same footage and general clip choices. ⋅ You must use the exact same song, not any remixes or shortened versions. It must be the same length.
Things that can be changed/improved -
⋅ Effects/Masks ⋅ Colourings ⋅ Typography ⋅ Other media such as overlays ⋅ Flow and transitions ⋅ Storyline can but adjusted mildly (where applicable) ⋅ Voice Overs ⋅ Clip quality and aspect ratio. ⋅ Upgrading from a basic program

Before we get to the videos, we admins apologise sincerely for the delay in posting these results. We shan't bombard you with excuses but lets just say its been a busy year outside of the awards for all of us and as a result it has taken us longer than usual to judge everything as thoroughly as we need.
How the results were worked out for the overall results: 1) Any who entered 3 rounds or more was eligible to be entered into the final score. 2) The scores were all averaged as though you had entered all 5 rounds, even if you had only entered 3 or 4. This gave the bonus advantage to the hard workers who entered all 5 rounds! 3) Scores were totalled and contestants ranked, below is how everyone who entered 3 rounds or more placed. They are not open for discussion, you will not be given your overall score. 4) Notes for rounds 4 and 5 available at request, but you MUST PM JessieH498, not this channel!

Thank you for the wonderful response we had to our request for judges! We have narrowed down our choices for Head and Co-Head Judges based on who we think has the necessary experience, enthusiasm and specialism in each category. There were some very hard decisions to make, as some categories were very popular among those hoping to become Head Judges, but we feel we've made the right choices, and trust that they will do a wonderful job.
This year, the categories are overseen by three admins: JessieH498, Ink3264 and sunheart123. This is for organisational purposes. Power over the category still resides with the Head and Co-Head judge, we are simply here to make sure that everything is going smoothly with the competition. Each admin is overseeing categories that best fit their experience of editing.
Admin: JessieH498 -- overseeing the very popular categories that usually get the largest numbers of entries as well as the prestigious Editor and Studio of the Year awards.

He hope that everyone is happy with what they have been allocated. As we mentioned above, some categories had many applicants, so we had to be very objective when making our choices. In any case, we are really looking forward to getting the awards up and running and working with our new Head and Co-Head Judges!
Applications for normal judges are still open, and we need as many as possible! You can apply to be a normal judge at any time before the end of the year. Unfortunately, we did not have enough Head/Co-Head positions available for everyone who applied for them, but those who did not get picked will simply be normal judges.
We hope you're all looking forward to the return of the awards! We definitely are!
Best Wishes, The GMV Awards admin team. x

Rules FOR THIS ROUND: - You must put your entrant number in the title or description of your video to be accepted. Here's the list if you can't remember. http://gmvawards.forumotion.co.uk/t17... - Canon refers to a canonical Storyline, Couple, friendship or character study. You can focus on any of these. To put it simply: The truth, as written, in the games. DO: Focus on something/someone in the same game or universe and their story. DON'T: Choose a crossover couple or write your own story. The main idea is to explore pre-existing stories and characters. - Example A: A Character Focus on Connor from AC3, his personality and his life, this would be canon since you can't detract from the written/intentional universe. - Example B: Kairi x Sora from KH Series could be interpreted as Canon, they interact and exist inside the same universe, however Sora x Riku could also be Canon to someone else. Its a personal interpretation of the EXISTING storylines. - Example C: TidusxYuna because they are put together by the writers of the game. - You must justify why your video is considered canon in terms of the game you have chosen, the character or couple you have focussed on, and also from your viewpoint in the description since some are debatable and it is required for marking. - Videos must be new. - Videos between 0:30 and 2:30 - Any effects and techniques are acceptable - Deadline: July 4th Extension till July 10th latest Examples of Canon Videos in news feed.

This is a BT designed to challenge you as a editor to perhaps edit outside of your normal boundaries and potentially blow the competition out of the water. You'll receive helpful feedback from the judges to help you to grow as an editor and understand what you do well and perhaps what you could use a touch up on. It is all GMV channel based so there are no head judges this time! Video responses will be accepted on this channel. Auditions CLOSE - JUNE 1st. • • • • •
