Hey gang, how's it going?

While I was watching a video a One Piece amv, an idea came to me. 

I've seen so many ONE PIECE amvs, and there are some of them was were so breathtaking that I either had goosebumps or I even shed tears. I know it probably have been done in the past, but I thought it would be fun to organize such a thing on my Youtube channel. Therefore, I decided that I would organize a ONE PIECE AMV awards event. I wanted to post a video about it, but I wanted to make sure that I'd get all of the needed information before that.

I also am trying to rise the number of my subscribers on my channel to get more feedback activity. I love making ONE PIECE chapter reviews and sharing my points of view and talk about other topics as well, but I hardly get any comments when making these reviews and it would be good to have some conversations throughout comments. Then again, it's not as if I could spam everyone to subscribe to my channel or asking any popular Youtubers to help me harness a considerable amounts of subs. I've tried a contest in the past, but it hardly worked. But I'm not giving up.

Though the event will be carried on Youtube, I will post updates throughout the ONE PIECE FORUM BAY forum and on my blog for those not having a Youtube account.

If this thing gets a great response, it won't be just a one-time event; I would even considering doing it occasionally.

First, through the video I'll be making to announce the event, I would I intended to have some categories of course on which I, and some friends, would judge the submitted videos. So far, I came up with this so far:

BEST STORY: Video with best creative story-telling atmosphere 
BEST GRAPHICS/VFX: Video with the best graphics/visual effects
BEST CHARACTER TRIBUTE: Video with the best tribute done to a ONE PIECE character
BEST ARC TRIBUTE: Video with the best tribute done to a ONE PIECE story arc
BEST MUSIC: Video with the best joyful & upbeat music and scene combination

If you got better ideas or suggestions, please let me know.

As for submissions, I'm going to ask people to email me (in a public email I opened for the occasion), to send me a short list of their favorite AMVs. They can too submit their own AMVs as well if they want. The AMVs that are submitted the most will be kept in the finalists and through a poll I'd let the people for for their favorites from each category.

And as prizes, I'm thinking of making One-Piece-like certificates as awards. I know, it's cheap (but a good occasion to use my graphic-design skills), and trust me, if I was a millionaire, I'd give much more than that. But I'm doing this not only for the fun of it, but also to let those artists making these videos that their work is acknowledged and appreciated. I'm sure a lot of them have thousands of viewers already as reward, but still... I thought I'd make something as such as well to show my gratitude. And again, it's fun.

For the voting process, I think it would work as such:

PHASE 1: I'll ask people to send me their favorite AMVs. Probably a minimum of 5. I'll probably ask them to make sure that their list has AMVs have describes the categories.

PHASE 2: From the collected AMVs that people would have sent me by email, me and friends of mine would pick the best ones from each categories. Let's say the 5 best from each category. Now, it's not because a video has the best graphics or has like over 3 million views that it will win. I've seen AMVs who didn't even have a thousand views and the were just as majestic. 

PHASE 3: The top ones from each category will be put into polls. To favor the votes, if they are 5 finalists from each category for example, then I'll allow people to vote for three different videos. And the most popular videos from each category will win the award.

PHASE 4: I'll probably make a last poll to decide the ultimate best AMV among the winners of the categories.

So yeah, that's about it so far.

They are many things and details that I must think of, but if you guys could suggest me some ideas, that would be much appreciated. 

Thank you guys!
