Hey Guys it's been a while !

Due to  the recent events of Free-fighting in the amv community and especially on twitter, we came up with a solution we bring you a new place to fight, to prove that you're right and you're better or to insult the judges because they couldn't see it.  

Yes ! You will all have the opportunity to step in the Octagone and prove you're worth being considered as one of the top fastest editors by trying to reach the higher steps with your team and as solo fighters in each categories.

Or you can just basically have fun and spend 3 days editing music that are suppose to be cool, to then share your amv and gain some feedback from other editors. It's up to you !!

This edition is our 15th and we are very proud to have so many people each year from all over the amv community, we're very happy to run this contest and to see each year the evolution of new editors and older, so we are looking forward to start this !

As in tradition the rules will be the same as previous years and they are listed below

. Iron Chef ? It's not very complicated, it's a race against time. You simply make a video in a limited time (here 72h) with a date and start time and an end date and end time that you find a little higher.
Common sense reminder : EVERYTHING must be edited specially for ST IC starting on the moment the music are available.

REGISTRATION AND HOW TO PARTICIPATE

1. Find two teammates. (Your two best friends since college, for example)

Nothing changes compared to previous editions.

- 1 team = 3 editors
- 1 editor = 1 category = 1 clip
- 2 ranking = 1 per category, 1 global team ranking
- A ranking by categorization
- A  general team ranking will be done according to the individual ranking of your colleague (example: Didier came 25 th in psyche? well Didier has ruined all the chances for your team to win this Iron Chef). So logically the on the top of the ranking will be the big winners of this IC.
