[GMVA 2020] JUDGING PANEL SIGNUPS GMV Awards 2020-08-04 | 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! If you are interested in judging any amount of categories, please apply here: 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 MaskingWe 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 Blue24601

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.

A Special Thank You [GMV Awards Panel 2017] GMV Awards 2018-05-06 | The Annual GMV Awards of 2017 has come to an end. 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 Song: youtube.com/watch?v=rrgiTiBxkgE

POLL | Should future GMV Awards be run only on this channel? GMV Awards 2015-01-01 | Poll: http://kwiksurveys.com/app/rendersurvey.asp?sid=niiqia8orn6sml3471748In 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!HAPPY NEW YEAR!

GMV Awards 2014 | Remake Contest [CLOSED] GMV Awards 2014-07-21 | DEADLINE NOW SEPTEMBER 25TH!Can you believe that it has been 5 years since the GMV Awards were first created? We can't - 5 years is a pretty long time in internet years. To celebrate, we're holding a pre-awards contest that will celebrate how far we have come in the last few years, individually and as a community.That is why we are challenging you to remake one of your old gmvs and show us how much you have improved. Submit your old video below in the comments to enter, and then submit your remake when it is done - no later than 9th Sepetember 2014.Criteria -The original video must either be:⋅ Older than 3 years.⋅ One of your first 10 videos.Rules - ⋅ Must use video game cutscenes; no live action or animation.⋅ Your remake must be consistent with the original video; we are marking your improvement in editing, therefore we must be able to compare easily.

• // The GMV Awards 2013 | Head Judge Announcements (Read Description) • GMV Awards 2013-09-27 | • // R E A D | T H E | D E S C R I P T I O N \\ •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.• Editor Of The YearHead Judge: JessieH498 Co-Head Judge: sunheart123 • Studio Of The YearHead Judge: LacrymosaiCo-Head Judge: - cstar7777 • Best Short VideoHead Judge: TophergasmCo-Head Judge: JessieH498• Best EmotionHead Judge: xBrokeDownxCo-Head Judge: Spazzlings • Best CanonHead Judge: SunnyTheGraverobberCo-Head Judge: LostInZanarkand • Best ComedyHead Judge: artlessangelCo-Head Judge: XxImaginaryHeartsxXAdmin: sunheart123 - Overseeing categories that allow for more creative and original usage of gmv footage, such as the creation of stories, crossovers and use of effects/masking.• Best FlowHead Judge: sunheart123Co-Head Judge: LinkedxMemories• Best MaskerHead Judge: kawtemCo-Head Judge: EmoLobster• Best CrackHead Judge: cstar7777Co-Head Judge: xBrokeDownx• Best CrossoverHead Judge: SpazzlingsCo-Head Judge: blooddragon668• Best EffectsHead Judge: blooddragon668Co-Head Judge: TheLightLeavesThee• Best StorytellerHead Judge: LostInZanarkandCo-Head Judge: artlessangelAdmin: Ink3264 -- Overseeing the more technical categories and those that deal with entries created by multiple editors.• Best Basic SoftwareHead Judge: AzenaKiraCo-Head Judge: strangeangel03• Best TrailerHead Judge: Ink3264Co-Head Judge: XxImaginaryHeartsxX• Best RawHead Judge: LinkedxMemoriesCo-Head Judge: Stephicness• Best Group ProjectHead Judge: StephicnessCo-Head Judge: Ink3264• Best CollaborationHead Judge: TheLightLeavesThee Co-Head Judge: Lacrymosai 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!

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 4thExtension till July 10th latestExamples of Canon Videos in news feed.I still need judges!
