Sora96 17,256 Posted January 4, 2014 Description It's back for it's fifth consecutive year. The GMV Contest is a contest held yearly by Sora96. It puts some of the best video editors on KH13.com against each other to decide who is number one. The contest continues to grow more and more popular each year and I hope it continues that way this year. How to enter To enter you must simply reply to this topic with a video you've made by January 18, 2014. You can use any video that you've made. It doesn't matter when it was made. Rules All videos used in this contest must use clips from the Kingdom Hearts series and/or FINAL FANTASY series. If you do decide to make a new video I recommend you render it in 720p or 1080p. However if you render it in 480p it won't affect your position or chance of winning in this contest unless the quality is poor. I want all videos to be in the highest quality possible. The minimum length of all videos is 30 seconds. There is no limit. You can host your videos on YouTube or Vimeo. Prizes After the contest is completed you will be able to add to your Member Title, Profile and/or Signature a message saying where you finished in this contest. Eg. "The GMV Contest of 2014 Champion!". You've probably seen other members with this from past years. Likes will be awarded throughout the contest on both your posts and your videos. I will subscribe to some YouTube channels. Throughout this contest your videos and your channel will most likely gain a boost in views, likes and subscribers. This year's champion will also get a mystery prize. The mystery prize is early access to a new section of our video archive.

Sorual 607 Posted January 13, 2014 this is probably a stupid question but what is a GMV? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf on the Run 391 Posted January 13, 2014 this is probably a stupid question but what is a GMV? I think it's " General Media Video", like AMV is " Animated Music video", but i'm probably wrong. Gmv means Gaming Music Video Amv Means Anime Music Video MMV Means Manga Music Video thats normally how it all works out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoshiko Hikari 300 Posted January 19, 2014 How the heck did I come second?? I thought I was going to be eliminated! Thank you! And just to check as I don't follow sports, "have the bye" means I don't have to post a gmv for this round right? 1 Ruby Rose reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
