AnimeMusicVideos.org have kicked off the 2010 Viewers Choice Awards – with a few minor differences compared to last year. This year, any of the videos entered in the site during 2009 are automatically entered – after meeting a few basic requirements.

So by the looks of things there are going to be a lot of videos to be voting for.

The contest is currently in its nomination phase, which will last through until the 22nd of January. You need to be a registered member of the site to nominate – once logged in, head to the Nominations Page, and start nominating away.

As much as I would shamelessly like to self-promote myself, I’m not going to – not sure what kind of chance my little attempt has, but I’m hoping for some better results with my next one :).

I’ll try and keep everyone updated on the progress of the VCAs as they go along, but as a parting shot, I’ll leave you with last year’s AMV of the year – and also one of my personal favourites. Done by Nostromo, the video is named Auriga; music – DJ Spoke’s Watch Them Fall Down and the anime used … well, there’s a whole list of them, but I’ll name a few here – Shakugan  no Shana, Gunbuster 2, Starship Operators, The Third, Macross Frontier, Ef – The latter Tale, Sky Girls and Ah! My Goddess. To name a few.

I could go on and on about this AMV, but I’d rather just let you decide for yourselves. Enjoy!!
