Fan Art Theater Updates

Fan Art Theater 2020 Music Video Exhibition now accepting entries!

October 15, 2020

Alright, we are now ready to accept entries for this year’s Exhibition. This is not a contest and no prizes will be awarded. Instead we will just display the submitted entries during our live stream the weekend of Youmacon, Oct 30th through Nov 1st.

Note that submissions to this exhibition will not disqualify you from submitting the same entry into our competition next year. In fact, in the form you will be able to designate that you wish to submit your entry in next year’s Competition. Selecting that option will automatically enter your video into next year’s event.

The deadline to submit entries at this time will be 11:59pm EDT (2359)(Eastern Daylight Savings Time) (UTC-4) On October 27th. Any entry submitted after this point will not be accepted. We will open up entries to 2021’s event again later in 2021.

Please note that the rules will potentially be modified for 2021, and if an entry is deemed to have issues with the new rules you will be contacted. However there are no drastic changes currently planned.

Since this is a streaming only event, we can only accept PG-13 entries to be streamed. We will be vetting each video ahead of time for content to ensure it is safe to stream.

Still interested. Please fill out the entry form below.
