- The judgment of AMVs is carried out in two phases:
The preselections, which determine three categories: not-retained, “coups de cœur” (= favourites) and finalists.
The ranking of finalists by a jury composed of three renowned editors.
- Both finalists and “coups de cœur” will be revealed by packs, without distinction, a dozen of days before the start of the event (15th July 2021).
- Not retained AMVs will neither be ranked, nor broadcasted. The “coups de cœurs” will take part in a
live tournament on the YouTube channel of AMV-France. Spectators will vote and will thus make their favourite “coup de cœur” progress towards victory.
- Finalists will be broadcasted
online on Saturday 17th (not ranked) and on Sunday 18th July 2021 (ranked) also on the YouTube channel of AMV-France.
- A
Viewers’ Choice will also be selected among the finalists. Votes will be collected on Saturday 17th after the live.
- Complete results will be available on the AMV France website, soon after the end of the event (18th July 2021).
Reminder: the ranked videos in our contests are available for download on the website, at latest 2 weeks after the results.
