This year's cut-off deadline is June 16th. Submissions will be played during an event in the Crystal Ballroom, followed by a panel announcing our winners. Prizes will be awarded to the best PMVs of the bunch! Remember to keep it convention friendly, but aside that, go nuts! Let your creativity and imagination run wild.
